Anthracene Supplier in Malaysia
Anthracene supplier in Malaysia for chemical synthesis, dye and pigment development, materials work and laboratory use. Anthracene is a defined fused-ring aromatic hydrocarbon under CAS 120-12-7, supplied as colourless to pale yellow crystals or flakes.
Commercial requirements include technical, synthesis and laboratory grades. Buyers compare purity, related aromatic hydrocarbon limits, colour, moisture and physical form against the needs of the process.
Anthracene serves as a specialised organic intermediate and research reagent. It is not the same product as anthracene oil, coal tar, creosote or phenanthrene, each of which has a different composition or identity.
Send the required grade, purity and impurity specification, form, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Anthracene 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Technical anthracene | pale yellow crystals or flakes | — | Industrial synthesis and process work where anthracene identity, purity and related aromatic hydrocarbon limits are defined by the buyer. | Confirm the required solid-material pack format with the quotation. |
| Synthesis-grade anthracene | crystalline solid | — | Chemical intermediate and dye or pigment development requiring a tighter purity and impurity profile than a broad coal-tar fraction. | Confirm packing and documentation with the quotation. |
| Laboratory-grade anthracene | purified crystals | — | Analytical preparation, materials research and laboratory synthesis against a stated purity and test specification. | Laboratory pack format is confirmed with the quotation. |

Safety and handling
Keep tightly closed in a cool, dry, ventilated area away from ignition sources and incompatible materials. Control dust and follow the safety information for the quoted grade.
Common questions about Anthracene
Is anthracene the same as anthracene oil?
No. Anthracene is the defined crystalline compound, while anthracene oil is a coal-tar-derived mixture containing several aromatic substances.
Is anthracene the same as phenanthrene?
No. They are different fused-ring aromatic compounds with separate structures, identities, impurity profiles and process specifications, so one must not be ordered as the other.
Which anthracene grade should I request?
Technical grade suits process work, synthesis grade controls impurities more closely, and laboratory grade is selected for analytical or research use.
What specifications matter for anthracene?
State purity, related aromatic hydrocarbon limits, colour, moisture and crystal or flake form, together with the intended process.
What details are needed for an anthracene quotation?
Provide grade, purity and related aromatic impurity profile, crystal or flake form, application, quantity, packing preference and delivery location so the offered material can be matched to the receiving specification.
