1,3-Propanesultone Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Propane Sultone
- 1,3-PS
- 3-Hydroxypropane-1-Sulfonic Acid Sultone
1,3-Propanesultone supplier for battery-materials and fine-chemical buyers in Malaysia. It is a cyclic sulfonate, the sultone of 3-hydroxypropane-1-sulfonic acid, identified by CAS 1120-71-4 and formula C3H6O3S, and it is sold above all as an electrolyte additive in lithium-ion cell chemistry.
Commercial material may be a colourless to pale yellow liquid or white crystals around normal indoor temperatures and is supplied in high-purity form. Because the ring hydrolyses in contact with water, the product is kept sealed and dry. Grade choice turns on the target assay and the level of water and other impurities the application allows.
Its main use is in lithium-ion battery electrolytes, where it has been studied as a film-forming additive that can improve cycle life and low-temperature behaviour. The same chemistry is useful as a sulfonating intermediate in specialty and pharmaceutical synthesis, and as a research reagent.

1,3-Propanesultone 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Battery-grade 1,3-propanesultone | colourless to pale yellow liquid or white crystalline solid | — | Electrolyte additive in lithium-ion cells, where the cyclic sulfonate is studied and selected for the way it helps build a stable electrode film. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| High-purity assay 1,3-propanesultone | colourless to pale yellow liquid or white crystalline solid | — | Research, synthesis and fine-chemical work that specifies a tight assay and low impurity profile rather than a battery application. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Common questions about 1,3-propanesultone
What is 1,3-propanesultone used for in batteries?
It is used as an electrolyte additive in lithium-ion cells, valued for its role in forming a stable film on the electrode that can extend cycle life. The exact dose and performance depend on the electrolyte system.
What form does 1,3-propanesultone arrive in?
It can be a colourless to pale yellow liquid or a white crystalline solid around normal indoor temperatures. Because it is hygroscopic, the quoted grade is kept sealed in dry packaging and handled away from moisture.
Which grade should I request?
Specify the intended use. Battery electrolyte work generally asks for a high-purity grade with tight water control, while fine-chemical synthesis may accept a standard assay. Give your target specification.
Is 1,3-propanesultone hazardous to handle?
Handle it in a ventilated area with appropriate personal protection and keep it sealed and dry. Supply is subject to applicable requirements; the product documentation for the quoted grade carries the full handling guidance.
What details are needed for a price enquiry?
Provide the grade, minimum assay, quantity, preferred pack and delivery location. The material is quoted on enquiry with a stated validity period.
