Cellulose Acetate Propionate Supplier Malaysia
- Also known as
- Cellulose Propionate Acetate
Cellulose acetate propionate is a mixed cellulose ester used as a film-forming resin in industrial coatings, inks and speciality formulations. ChemTrade handles cellulose acetate propionate supplier enquiries in Malaysia based on the buyer's viscosity, ester composition, hydroxyl content, form and quantity requirements.
The material is commonly described as CAP in formulation work, but that abbreviation can also identify cellulose acetate phthalate and is therefore kept out of the alias list. Commercial cellulose acetate propionate grades are differentiated by acetyl and propionyl balance, hydroxyl content and solution viscosity, and may be supplied as powder, flake or granule.
Typical applications include wood and furniture coatings, automotive finishes, gravure and flexographic inks, overprint varnishes, metal or plastic decorating, nail lacquer, adhesives and speciality films. This solvent-soluble cellulose ester is distinct from water-soluble cellulose ethers and from other cellulose ester families.
Send the intended formulation, viscosity range, composition requirement, physical form, quantity and delivery location with the enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation, price and delivery timing are confirmed against the requested grade in the quotation.
- Grade
- low viscosity, medium viscosity, high viscosity
- Appearance
- white to off-white powder, flake or granule
Cellulose Acetate Propionate grades and forms

Cellulose Acetate Propionate applications
Common questions about cellulose acetate propionate
What does CAP mean in a cellulose ester specification?
In this page, CAP refers to cellulose acetate propionate. State the full product name because the abbreviation can identify a different polymer in other industries.
Which cellulose acetate propionate grade should I request?
Specify the required solution-viscosity range, acetyl and propionyl profile, hydroxyl content, solvent system and intended formulation.
Is cellulose acetate propionate a cellulose ether?
No. It is a solvent-soluble mixed cellulose ester, distinct from water-soluble cellulose ethers such as CMC, HEC and HPMC.
What forms of cellulose acetate propionate are available for enquiry?
Commercial grades may be supplied as powder, flake or granule, with the exact physical form and grade confirmed in the quotation.
What information is needed for a CAP resin quotation?
Provide the full product name, viscosity and composition requirements, quantity, delivery point, application and any document requirements.
