Anthraquinone Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- 9,10-Anthracenedione
- C14H8O2
Anthraquinone supplier for pulp and paper, dye-intermediate, chemical synthesis and laboratory buyers in Malaysia. Also known as 9,10-anthracenedione, this pale-yellow crystalline compound is selected by purity, particle size and impurity profile for process and intermediate use.
Pulping-grade anthraquinone is supplied as a fine powder for selected kraft mill processes where dispersion and dosing behaviour matter. Technical grade serves organic synthesis and the manufacture of anthraquinone derivatives, while high-purity material supports controlled reaction and laboratory requirements.
The parent compound is not a finished dye and should not be confused with the wider family of substituted anthraquinones used as dyes, pigments or specialty actives. It is practically insoluble in water, so aqueous process enquiries should state the required particle and dispersion approach.
Send the required grade, purity, particle-size or impurity limits, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation, delivery timing and anthraquinone price are confirmed with a quotation carrying a stated validity period.

Anthraquinone 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 grade anthraquinone | pale-yellow to yellow crystalline powder | — | Chemical synthesis and manufacture of anthraquinone intermediates, dyes, pigments and specialty organic products where the buyer specifies the parent compound and an industrial purity profile. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Pulping grade anthraquinone | fine pale-yellow powder | — | Kraft pulping process additive where anthraquinone identity, particle size, purity and dispersion behaviour are matched to the mill's dosing system and process specification. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| High-purity and reagent grade anthraquinone | crystalline powder or crystals | — | Laboratory redox work, reference preparations and controlled synthesis that require tighter purity and impurity limits than a general technical grade. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Common questions about anthraquinone
Is anthraquinone the same as anthracene?
No. Anthraquinone, also called 9,10-anthracenedione, contains two carbonyl groups and has different chemical behaviour from anthracene. State CAS 84-65-1 or formula C14H8O2 when the identity must be unambiguous.
Is anthraquinone a finished dye?
The parent anthraquinone is mainly an intermediate and redox-active process material. Many dyes and pigments are substituted anthraquinone derivatives, but those derivatives have their own identities and colour properties. Ordering generic anthraquinone does not specify a finished dye.
Which anthraquinone grade suits kraft pulping?
Request a pulping grade and state the required purity, particle-size or dispersion profile, dosing method and any mill-specific impurity limits. Fine powder handling and compatibility with the dosing system are more useful selection points than a generic technical-grade label.
What specifications matter for anthraquinone used as a chemical intermediate?
State the minimum anthraquinone purity and any limits for moisture, particle size, colour, insoluble matter and named organic impurities. Include the downstream synthesis so the technical or high-purity grade can be matched to the process.
Can anthraquinone be mixed directly into water?
Anthraquinone is practically insoluble in water, so an aqueous process must address dispersion, particle size and dosing method rather than assuming a true solution. Provide the receiving process and required physical form in the enquiry.
What information is needed for an anthraquinone price quotation?
Provide the grade, purity and particle or impurity specification, application, quantity and delivery location. Mention preferred packing and required product documents so availability and commercial details can be confirmed with the quotation.
