Undecylenic Acid Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- 10-Undecenoic Acid
- Undec-10-Enoic Acid
Undecylenic acid supplier in Malaysia for personal-care formulators, surfactant producers, fragrance manufacturers, polymer developers and laboratories seeking an unsaturated fatty-acid intermediate. Also called 10-undecenoic acid, it has a carboxylic-acid group and terminal double bond available for further reaction.
Personal-care grade is selected for formulation work that defines purity, colour, odour and compatibility, while technical grade serves synthesis of surfactants, esters, fragrances and functional materials. Reagent grade supports laboratory and development work with tighter analytical controls.
Buyers commonly compare assay, acid value, iodine value, moisture, colour and application-specific impurity limits. Undecylenic acid may appear as a liquid or low-melting crystalline material, but its salts, esters and formulated products remain separate identities.
Send the required grade, specification, application, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Undecylenic Acid 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Personal-care grade undecylenic acid | liquid or low-melting crystalline material | — | Functional fatty-acid ingredient or intermediate for selected skin-care, hair-care, nail-care and toiletries formulations against a defined purity and sensory specification. | Pack format is confirmed with the quotation. |
| Technical-grade undecylenic acid | liquid or crystalline material | — | Intermediate for surfactants, fragrances, esters, polymers and other speciality derivatives that use its terminal double bond and carboxylic-acid group. | Pack format is confirmed with the quotation. |
| Reagent-grade undecylenic acid | high-purity liquid or crystalline material | — | Laboratory synthesis, reaction development and analytical work where the buyer specifies tighter assay, colour and impurity controls. | Pack format is confirmed with the quotation. |

Safety and handling
Keep tightly closed in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place away from heat and incompatible materials. Protect from contamination and follow the handling information for the quoted form and grade.
Common questions about undecylenic acid
Is undecylenic acid the same as 10-undecenoic acid?
Yes. 10-Undecenoic acid and undec-10-enoic acid are alternate chemical names for undecylenic acid. Buyers should still state the grade and impurity specification because personal-care, technical and reagent requirements differ.
Why can undecylenic acid appear as a liquid or solid?
Undecylenic acid has a low melting range, so its physical state can change near normal handling temperatures. A liquid or crystalline appearance does not by itself indicate a different chemical, but the quoted grade information should be used for storage and processing.
Is undecylenic acid the same as zinc undecylenate?
No. Undecylenic acid is the free fatty acid, while zinc undecylenate is a metal salt with different physical and formulation properties. Esters and other undecylenate salts are also separate product identities.
Which specifications are useful for undecylenic acid?
Buyers commonly state assay, acid value, iodine value, moisture, colour and any process-specific impurity limits. Personal-care enquiries should also identify odour, sensory and formulation-compatibility requirements.
Can undecylenic acid be requested for personal-care formulations?
Yes, as a grade selected for the intended skin-care, hair-care, nail-care or toiletries formulation. State the intended function, product format, purity and documentation requirements so the grade can be reviewed.
What details are needed for an undecylenic acid quotation in Malaysia?
Send the grade, application, assay and quality specification, quantity, preferred packing, required product documents and delivery location. Available packing, documentation and timing are confirmed with the quotation.
