Acrolein Supplier in Malaysia for Industrial Processing
- Also known as
- 2-Propenal
- C3H4O
Acrolein supplier for chemical manufacturing, industrial water treatment and oilfield process buyers in Malaysia. Also called 2-propenal, acrolein is a volatile, highly reactive unsaturated aldehyde used where a process specifically requires C3H4O chemistry.
Commercial selection commonly separates stabilised technical material for industrial reaction routes from high-purity or laboratory grades with tighter impurity controls. Buyers should state the assay, stabiliser basis and any limits for water or related aldehydes rather than relying on the grade name alone.
Chemical manufacturers use acrolein as an intermediate for acrylic acid, methionine, glutaraldehyde and specialty synthesis. It also serves as active chemistry in specified microbial-control programmes for industrial process water and selected oilfield systems.
Send the required grade, specification, process use, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.

Acrolein 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stabilised technical grade acrolein | clear, colourless to pale yellow volatile liquid | — | Industrial intermediate for acrylic acid, methionine, glutaraldehyde and other chemical synthesis routes where the receiving process defines the assay and stabiliser requirements. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| High-purity or laboratory grade acrolein | stabilised clear liquid | — | Laboratory reaction work, method development and specialty synthesis that require tighter control of purity, water and related aldehyde impurities than a general technical grade. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Acrolein applications
Safety and handling
Acrolein is a volatile and highly reactive industrial liquid. Store and handle it only under the temperature, stabiliser and segregation conditions stated for the quoted grade, using the supplied safety information and appropriate engineering controls. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.
Common questions about Acrolein
What grades of acrolein can buyers specify?
Technical stabilised acrolein is used for industrial reaction routes, while high-purity or laboratory grades are selected for specialty synthesis and method work with tighter impurity limits. State the assay, stabiliser basis and controlled impurities needed by the process.
Why is commercial acrolein supplied as a stabilised liquid?
Acrolein is highly reactive and can polymerise if its handling conditions are unsuitable. The required stabiliser system and storage conditions form part of the grade specification and are confirmed for the quoted material; one grade should not be substituted without process review.
Is 2-propenal the same chemical as acrolein?
Yes. 2-propenal is the systematic name and C3H4O is the formula for acrolein. These names identify the same unsaturated aldehyde, although technical and high-purity grades may carry different specification limits.
What is acrolein used for in chemical manufacturing?
It is a reactive intermediate in routes to acrylic acid, methionine, glutaraldehyde and other specialty chemicals. Buyers should provide the intended reaction, required assay and limits for water or related impurities so the offered grade can be assessed.
Can acrolein be specified for industrial water treatment?
Acrolein is used for microbial and biofilm control in selected process-water and oilfield systems. The operator must define the intended system, dosing basis and handling controls. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.
What details are needed for an acrolein quotation?
Provide the grade, assay and stabiliser requirements, intended use, controlled impurity limits, quantity and delivery location. State any pack preference and documentation needs so availability and commercial terms can be confirmed with the quotation.
