Vitamin E Acetate (Tocopheryl Acetate) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Alpha-Tocopheryl Acetate
- Dl-Alpha-Tocopheryl Acetate
- DL-Alpha-Tocopherol Acetate
Vitamin E acetate supplier in Malaysia for feed premix, food fortification, pharmaceutical and personal-care buyers. The material is alpha-tocopheryl acetate, written as tocopheryl acetate on cosmetic ingredient lists and as dl-alpha-tocopheryl acetate on most feed and premix specifications (C31H52O3). It is the acetate ester, which is a different material from free and mixed tocopherols and from tocotrienols.
Two forms of vitamin E acetate carry almost all of the trade. A clear viscous oil at nominally 96 to 98% is charged neat into liquid premixes and oil phases. A dry product at nominally 50% activity on a silica, gelatin or starch carrier handles like any other powder, which is why premix plants specify it.
Feed premix and compound feed work is the largest industrial outlet, followed by fortification blends, softgel and topical pharmaceutical formulation, and cosmetic emulsions declaring Tocopheryl Acetate. The all-rac (dl) ester and the natural RRR ester are quoted separately, so name the one your standard requires.
Give the ester, form, activity, grade, quantity and delivery location when you enquire. Pack format, documentation, availability and timing follow in the quotation. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.

Vitamin E Acetate 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vitamin E acetate oil | clear pale yellow viscous oil | nominally 96 to 98%, confirmed against the grade offered | Neat ester for liquid premix dosing, oil-phase blending and fortification oil blends, chosen where the concentrated ester can be pumped or metered without a carrier. | Drum, pail or tin formats, confirmed with the quotation. |
| Dry vitamin E acetate 50% | free-flowing powder or granules on a silica, gelatin or starch carrier | nominally 50% activity on the carrier, confirmed against the grade offered | Feed premix and dry blending, where a solid that flows and weighs out on existing powder equipment is wanted rather than a viscous oil. | Bag or fibre drum formats, confirmed with the quotation. |
| Cosmetic grade tocopheryl acetate | clear viscous oil | — | Oil phase of creams, lotions, serums, balms and hair products, declared as Tocopheryl Acetate on the ingredient list rather than as a free tocopherol. | Pail, drum or tin formats, confirmed with the quotation. |
| Pharmaceutical grade vitamin E acetate | viscous oil to a stated monograph or buyer specification | — | Capsule, tablet and topical formulation work selected against a monograph or an existing in-house specification rather than a general technical grade. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Vitamin E Acetate applications
Safety and handling
Keep containers closed in a cool, dry place, protected from light and heat. Reseal part-used oil containers and control dust when handling dry carrier grades. Follow the safety information issued for the grade quoted.
Common questions about vitamin E acetate
Is vitamin E acetate the same as mixed tocopherols?
No, they are separate materials and a formulation should call for one or the other by name. This page covers alpha-tocopheryl acetate, the acetate ester. Free and mixed tocopherols are the unesterified alcohols with their own specifications and their own page in the catalogue.
Is tocopheryl acetate the same as vitamin E acetate?
Yes, the same ester under two names. Tocopheryl acetate is the INCI style naming used on cosmetic ingredient lists, while vitamin E acetate is the trade wording, and dl-alpha-tocopheryl acetate is how a feed or premix specification usually writes it.
Should I order the oil or the dry 50% grade?
The oil suits liquid dosing, oil-phase blending and concentrated charging. The dry 50% product on a silica, gelatin or starch carrier suits premix and dry blending on powder equipment. Tell us the mixing method and the activity you need and both options can be quoted.
What does a 50 designation on a vitamin E acetate product mean?
It refers to a nominal 50% activity of the ester adsorbed onto or encapsulated in a carrier, with the balance being that carrier. It is not a 50% purity version of the oil, so an oil assay and a dry activity figure cannot be compared directly.
Is the dl ester the same as the natural RRR ester?
They are not the same ester and they carry different CAS numbers. The all-rac or dl material is the widely traded synthetic ester, while the RRR form is the single stereoisomer. Specify which one your standard requires, since the two are quoted separately.
What should a vitamin E acetate enquiry include?
Give the ester, the form, the activity, the grade your specification names, the quantity and the delivery location. Add any documentation requirement and the pack size that suits your handling so the quotation answers the whole requirement.
