Cobalt Acetate Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- cobalt(II) Acetate
- Cobaltous Acetate
- Cobalt Diacetate
Cobalt acetate supplier enquiries in Malaysia cover cobalt(II) acetate, also called cobaltous acetate or cobalt diacetate. It is a soluble cobalt salt used in catalyst preparation, materials chemistry, metal finishing and laboratory synthesis.
The main commercial choice is between cobalt acetate tetrahydrate and anhydrous cobalt acetate. Hydration state affects the composition carried into the process, so a buyer should state the form, purity or impurity limits and physical form rather than asking for cobalt acetate without a specification.
Technical and higher-purity grades serve different process needs. Catalyst and electronic-material work may set tighter trace-metal limits, while ceramic, glass and general cobalt chemistry buyers may select a technical crystalline grade against their own formulation.
Send the hydration state, grade, specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation, route and timing are confirmed with the quotation, and supply is subject to applicable requirements.
- Formula
- Co(C2H3O2)2

Cobalt Acetate 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cobalt acetate tetrahydrate | pink to red crystals or crystalline powder | — | General cobalt salt, catalyst-precursor and process chemistry where the tetrahydrate is the specified commercial form. | Packing format is confirmed with the quotation. |
| Anhydrous cobalt acetate | crystalline solid | — | Synthesis and materials processes where water of crystallisation cannot be carried into the charge and the anhydrous salt is specified. | Packing format is confirmed with the quotation. |
| Higher-purity cobalt acetate | crystalline powder | — | Catalyst preparation, electronic-material work and laboratory synthesis that require tighter impurity controls than a general technical grade. | Packing format is confirmed with the quotation. |

Common questions about cobalt acetate
Which hydration form of cobalt acetate should I request?
Cobalt acetate tetrahydrate is a common commercial crystalline form, while anhydrous cobalt acetate is specified when water of crystallisation cannot be carried into the process. State the hydration state, purity and application with the enquiry so the two forms are not treated as interchangeable.
Is cobalt acetate the same as cobalt sulphate?
No. They are different cobalt salts with different anions and process behaviour. Cobalt acetate is selected when the acetate counter-ion and the specified hydrate are wanted, while cobalt sulphate has its own grade and specification. Order the salt named by the formulation.
Can cobalt acetate be requested for catalyst preparation?
Yes, catalyst and catalyst-precursor enquiries can be considered for a grade with the required cobalt basis and impurity limits. Send the support, reaction route, hydration state and quantity so the material can be matched to the process specification.
What is the difference between cobalt acetate and cobalt drier?
Cobalt acetate is a defined cobalt(II) salt, while cobalt drier is a formulated coating additive based on a separate cobalt carboxylate system. They are not interchangeable catalogue identities, so state the exact material required by the coating formulation.
What details are needed for a cobalt acetate quotation?
Provide the hydration state, grade, purity or impurity limits, intended use, quantity and delivery location. Add particle form, documentation requirements and any catalyst or electronic-material specification that controls the quote.
How should cobalt acetate be stored?
Keep the crystals or powder sealed in a dry store, protect them from contamination and minimise dust during weighing. Follow the safety information issued with the quoted grade and the buyer's own workplace handling procedure.
