Dimethyl Oxalate Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Dimethyl Ethanedioate
- Oxalic Acid Dimethyl Ester
Dimethyl oxalate is a crystalline oxalate ester supplied to Malaysian manufacturers and formulators as a reactive organic intermediate. Also called dimethyl ethanedioate or oxalic acid dimethyl ester, it is selected for synthesis routes where solid form, purity and impurity control matter.
Industrial, synthesis and high-purity grades may be specified by assay, moisture, acidity, colour, residue and particle form. The required limits should follow the downstream reaction and product-quality target rather than a generic solvent specification.
Dimethyl oxalate is used in specialty chemical manufacture, fine-chemical synthesis and selected resin or materials routes. It is a distinct crystalline compound and should not be confused with liquid glycol ether acetates or dimethyl carbonate.
Send the required grade, assay, impurity profile, particle form, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing and documentation are confirmed for the quoted dimethyl oxalate specification.

Common questions about dimethyl oxalate
What is dimethyl oxalate used for industrially?
It is procured mainly as a reactive oxalate ester for organic synthesis, specialty materials and downstream chemical-intermediate production.
Which dimethyl oxalate specifications should be supplied?
State the required assay, moisture, acidity, colour, residue or other impurity limits, together with the intended reaction route.
Is dimethyl oxalate supplied as a liquid solvent?
No. Dimethyl oxalate is normally handled as a white crystalline solid, unlike many common ester solvents used in coatings.
Can a high-purity dimethyl oxalate grade be requested?
Yes. Send the complete purity and impurity profile needed for the synthesis or qualification programme so a suitable grade can be assessed.
How are packing and documentation confirmed?
Include the preferred pack format and required safety or quality documents. Available options are confirmed with the dimethyl oxalate quotation.
