Sodium Myristate Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Sodium Tetradecanoate
- Tetradecanoic Acid Sodium Salt
Sodium myristate supplier enquiries in Malaysia specify the C14 sodium soap obtained from myristic acid. Sodium tetradecanoate is the systematic synonym, while the practical order is defined further by particle form and composition limits.
Standard powder supports measured blending, granules or small flakes offer a lower-dust charging option, and cosmetic-control grades address tighter colour, odour and residual-fatty-acid needs. The selected form should fit the plant's conveying, dissolution and mixing sequence.
Formulators use sodium myristate in soap-based cleansers, detergent concentrates, emulsifying systems and selected release or lubricant preparations. Its C14 identity separates it from the C12 laurate, C16 palmitate and C18 stearate salts found elsewhere in the catalogue.
State the required form, sodium-myristate basis, moisture and impurity limits, application, quantity and receiving location. Packing, supporting documents and delivery timing are confirmed in the commercial offer.

Sodium Myristate grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard sodium myristate powder | white to off-white powder | — | Measured C14 soap addition to detergent, cleansing and industrial batches that formulate from individual fatty-acid salts. | The quotation confirms a suitable dry pack for the order. |
| Low-dust sodium myristate | granules or small flakes | — | Production lines that need cleaner charging, easier conveying and less fine airborne material than a conventional powder. | Dry packing is selected for the required handling method. |
| Cosmetic control sodium myristate | uniform fine white powder | — | Soap-based personal-care formulations with defined expectations for colour, odour, residual fatty acid and visible insolubles. | Protective dry packing is confirmed with the offer. |

Safety and handling
Retain the material in closed dry packaging and prevent moisture pickup, contamination and compaction during storage.
Common questions about sodium myristate
Are sodium myristate and sodium tetradecanoate identical names?
Yes. Sodium tetradecanoate is the systematic name for the sodium salt of myristic acid. The order should also identify the physical form and the basis used to report sodium myristate content.
Why is the C14 identity relevant in a cleansing formula?
Sodium myristate contributes a defined C14 soap fraction to the formulation. Producers balance it with other surfactants or fatty-acid salts to reach the required lather, texture and processing behaviour.
How does sodium myristate compare with sodium palmitate?
Sodium myristate is the C14 salt, while sodium palmitate is the C16 salt. This chain-length difference affects the designed soap profile, so neither should replace the other without formulation review.
When are low-dust granules preferable to powder?
Granules or small flakes can simplify conveying and manual charging in a larger plant. Powder can disperse more quickly and may suit precise or smaller-batch addition. Choose according to the mixing equipment.
What details are needed to quote sodium myristate?
Send the required particle form, sodium-myristate basis, moisture and residual-acid limits, application, quantity, delivery point and document requirements. The quotation then confirms packing and availability.
