Valeric Acid Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Pentanoic Acid
- N-Valeric Acid
Valeric acid supplier for chemical, flavour, feed and pharmaceutical buyers in Malaysia. Valeric acid, also called pentanoic acid or n-valeric acid, is a colourless liquid carboxylic acid supplied for ester production, flavour work and feed formulation.
Technical, flavour and analytical grades can be requested. The material is used as an intermediate for valerate esters and lubricant additives, as a flavouring ingredient in selected food and beverage systems, and as a feed additive where the buyer defines the specification.
Valeric acid carries a strong, pungent odour, so packing and handling documentation are confirmed with each quotation. Send the technical, flavour or analytical grade, purity and application specification, quantity and delivery location. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.

Common questions about valeric acid
What is valeric acid used for?
Valeric acid, also called pentanoic acid, is used as an intermediate for valerate esters and lubricant additives, as a flavouring ingredient, as a feed additive and in pharmaceutical synthesis work.
Which valeric acid grade should I request?
Technical grade suits ester and intermediate work, flavour grade is quoted for food and beverage flavouring, and analytical grade is quoted for laboratory use. State the end use and required specification with the enquiry.
Is valeric acid the same as isovaleric acid?
No. Isovaleric acid is a branched structural isomer with its own CAS reference and specification. This page covers the straight-chain acid, n-valeric acid.
How is valeric acid packed?
State the quantity, receiving method and preferred handling format with the enquiry. The available compatible liquid pack is confirmed with the quotation for the selected valeric acid grade.
How is valeric acid priced in Malaysia?
Price depends on technical, flavour or analytical grade, purity, quantity, packing and delivery location. Send those details so the quotation can state its price basis and validity period.
