1,3-Propanediol Supplier in Malaysia
1,3-Propanediol supplier enquiries in Malaysia cover formulation and polymer uses for the defined 1,3-isomer. Commonly written 1,3-propanediol and identified by CAS 504-63-2, it is a clear, colourless, water-miscible diol used as a humectant, solvent and chemical intermediate.
Personal-care grades are selected for purity, colour, odour and skin-feel requirements, while cleaning grades serve solvent, coupling and stability duties. Polymer and industrial grades are purchased against assay, water and impurity limits set by the synthesis or process.
Cosmetics and toiletry formulators use 1,3-propanediol as a humectant and carrier, while detergent formulators use it in suitable solvent and enzyme systems. Polyester, resin and fine-chemical manufacturers specify it as a diol monomer or intermediate and keep it separate from 1,2-propanediol.
Send the required grade, target assay, water or colour limits, application, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Common questions about 1,3-Propanediol
Is 1,3-propanediol the same as propylene glycol?
No. Propylene glycol is 1,2-propanediol, while this page covers 1,3-propanediol, CAS 504-63-2. The hydroxyl groups sit in different positions, so the two materials have different process behaviour and should not be substituted without formulation assessment.
Which 1,3-propanediol grade should I request?
Personal-care grades focus on purity, colour, odour and formulation feel. Cleaning grades are selected for solvent, coupling and stability duties, while polymer grades need the assay, water and reactive-impurity controls stated by the synthesis process.
How is 1,3-propanediol used in personal-care formulations?
It can function as a humectant, solvent and carrier in creams, serums, lotions, deodorants and hair-care products. Compatibility, use level and finished-product performance remain decisions for the formulator.
Can 1,3-propanediol be used in detergent and enzyme systems?
It is used as a solvent, coupling aid and enzyme-stabilising component in suitable cleaning formulations. Provide the detergent type, enzyme system and required grade specification so the enquiry can be assessed against the actual formula.
What specifications matter for polymer-grade 1,3-propanediol?
State the minimum assay and limits for water, colour, acidity and relevant process impurities. Polymer synthesis can be sensitive to moisture and reactive impurities, so the purchase specification should identify the process controls that matter.
What packing and documents can be requested for 1,3-propanediol?
State the preferred pack format and required product documents with the enquiry. Available packing, documentation and commercial details are confirmed for the quoted grade.
What is needed for a 1,3-propanediol price enquiry in Malaysia?
Send the grade, target specification, application, quantity and delivery location. Include packing and document preferences so the quotation can cover the complete requirement and state its validity period.
