3-MERCAPTOPROPIONIC ACID Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- 3-MPA
- Propanoic Acid, 3-Mercapto-
3-MERCAPTOPROPIONIC ACID is supplied in Malaysia for polymer processing, fine-chemical synthesis and specialty material development. Commonly abbreviated as 3-MPA, it combines thiol and carboxylic-acid functionality in one defined chemical building block.
Polymer-process requirements commonly use the material as a chain-transfer agent where molecular-weight control is important. Synthesis-grade enquiries may support fine chemicals, functional materials, surface chemistry or other reactions requiring a mercapto-functional intermediate.
Customers should specify the intended process and relevant acceptance limits because polymerisation and controlled synthesis can place different demands on quality. Other mercapto acids and thiols are separate products and are not presented as grades of 3-MPA.
Send the required grade, specification, quantity and delivery location for a quotation. Availability, packing, documents and delivery arrangements are confirmed for the stated enquiry, and supply is subject to applicable requirements.

Common questions about 3-MERCAPTOPROPIONIC ACID
What is 3-MERCAPTOPROPIONIC ACID used for in polymers?
It is used as a chain-transfer agent in selected polymerisation systems where the process requires control of polymer chain length or molecular weight.
Is 3-MPA the same as 3-MERCAPTOPROPIONIC ACID?
Yes. 3-MPA is a common abbreviation for 3-MERCAPTOPROPIONIC ACID and refers to the same mercapto-functional carboxylic acid.
Which grade of 3-MERCAPTOPROPIONIC ACID should I specify?
Identify whether the use is polymer processing or controlled synthesis and provide the purity, colour or other acceptance limits required by the process.
What information supports a 3-MPA quotation?
Include grade, specification, quantity, application, delivery location and document requirements so the commercial need can be assessed accurately.
