TBHQ (Tertiary Butylhydroquinone) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Tertiary Butylhydroquinone
- Tert-Butylhydroquinone
- E319
- INS 319
TBHQ supplier for edible oil, food, palm oil, personal-care and industrial buyers in Malaysia. Also called tertiary butylhydroquinone, tert-butylhydroquinone, E319 and INS 319, this synthetic phenolic antioxidant is selected to slow oxidation in fats and oils where shelf life and storage stability matter.
Commercial material is typically a white to pale yellow crystalline powder that dissolves in alcohol, edible oils and fats and is practically insoluble in water. Food-grade E319 powder is the usual form for edible oils, fats and fried or fat-containing foods. Technical grades serve selected personal-care, biodiesel and industrial oil or resin systems.
Food and beverage processors use TBHQ in oils, margarine, shortening and snack or fried products. Palm oil and oleochemical buyers specify it for refined oil streams, while formulators may add a suitable grade as a stabiliser in cosmetics or technical products. Send the grade, application and any assay or documentation needs with the enquiry.
Availability, packing, COA or MSDS support and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.

TBHQ 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Food-grade TBHQ (E319) | white to pale yellow crystalline powder | — | Oil-phase antioxidant for edible oils, fats, margarine, shortening and fried or fat-containing foods where oxidation and rancidity must be slowed. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Edible oil and oleochemical antioxidant grade | free-flowing crystalline powder | — | Addition to refined oils, palm oil and oleochemical streams where a fat-soluble phenolic antioxidant is required for storage stability. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Technical-grade TBHQ | crystalline powder | — | Stabiliser in selected personal-care formulations, biodiesel and other industrial oil or resin systems that need oxidation control in storage. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Common questions about TBHQ
What is TBHQ and what does E319 mean?
TBHQ is tertiary butylhydroquinone, a synthetic phenolic antioxidant also known as tert-butylhydroquinone. E319 and INS 319 are the food-additive codes used for food-grade material. State the grade and any assay or purity limit with the enquiry rather than relying on the code alone.
Why is TBHQ used in edible oils and fats rather than water-based systems?
TBHQ dissolves in alcohol, edible oils and fats and is practically insoluble in water, so it remains in the oil phase where oxidation of fats occurs. It is therefore selected for oil, fat and fried-product systems rather than aqueous formulations that need a water-soluble antioxidant.
Which TBHQ grade should I request?
Food-grade E319 material is the usual choice for edible oils, fats and food manufacture. Technical grade may suit selected personal-care, biodiesel or industrial oil systems. Describe the application and any specification limits so the suitable grade can be quoted.
Is TBHQ used in palm oil and oleochemical processing?
Yes. Buyers in palm oil and oleochemical work commonly specify TBHQ as an oil-phase antioxidant for refined oils and related fat streams. Suitability depends on the process, dose target and required specification, so include those details in the enquiry.
Can COA, MSDS and packing be confirmed with the quotation?
Yes. List the documents and preferred pack format in the enquiry. Availability, packing and supporting documentation are confirmed for the quoted grade rather than assumed as a fixed set.
What details are needed for a TBHQ price enquiry?
Provide the grade, application, target specification, quantity and delivery location. Mention any preferred packing, documentation needs and required timing so the quotation can address the complete requirement.
