Epichlorohydrin Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- ECH
- 1-Chloro-2,3-Epoxypropane
- Chloromethyloxirane
Epichlorohydrin supplier for epoxy resin, polymer, water-treatment and speciality chemical manufacturers in Malaysia. Commonly abbreviated ECH, this clear reactive liquid contains both epoxide and chloromethyl functionality and is purchased to a defined feedstock specification.
Technical, epoxy-resin and high-purity grades can be requested. Purity, water, colour and related impurities matter because they can influence reaction control, yield and the quality of downstream resins or glycidyl intermediates.
The principal application is epoxy resin manufacture, including bisphenol-based glycidyl ether resins. Epichlorohydrin also serves as a building block for elastomers, cationic process polymers, ion-exchange materials, wet-strength resins and other speciality derivatives.
Send the required grade, purity and impurity limits, process application, quantity and delivery location. Availability, liquid packing and documentation are confirmed for the quoted epichlorohydrin specification.

Epichlorohydrin 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 epichlorohydrin | clear volatile liquid | — | General industrial synthesis of epoxy intermediates, elastomers, resins and other glycidyl or chlorohydrin derivatives. | Liquid pack format is confirmed with the quotation. |
| Epoxy-resin-grade epichlorohydrin | clear colourless liquid | Purity, water and hydrolysable impurity limits confirmed against the specification | Feedstock for bisphenol-based epoxy resin production where water and impurity controls affect reaction and finished-resin quality. | Liquid packing is confirmed for the quoted epoxy grade. |
| High-purity epichlorohydrin | clear colourless liquid | Purity and trace impurity profile confirmed as specified | Controlled synthesis of speciality glycidyl derivatives, ion-exchange materials and process polymers requiring tighter feedstock quality. | Pack format is confirmed for the selected purity and quantity. |

Common questions about epichlorohydrin
What is epichlorohydrin used for?
Its largest industrial route is epoxy resin manufacture. Epichlorohydrin is also used to make glycidyl derivatives, speciality elastomers, cationic polymers, ion-exchange materials and selected paper-process resins.
Is epichlorohydrin the same as epoxy resin?
No. Epichlorohydrin is a reactive raw material used to manufacture many epoxy resins. A buyer needing finished liquid or solid epoxy resin should specify the resin chemistry, epoxy equivalent weight and viscosity separately.
Which epichlorohydrin grade is used for epoxy resin manufacture?
Epoxy producers normally specify a feedstock grade with controlled purity, water, colour and related impurities. Send the plant specification because the accepted limits depend on the resin process and finished quality target.
What does ECH mean on a chemical specification?
ECH is the common industrial abbreviation for epichlorohydrin. Include the full name, CAS 106-89-8, required purity and water limit so it is not confused with another process abbreviation.
What details are needed for an epichlorohydrin quotation?
Provide the grade, purity and impurity limits, end-use process, quantity, preferred liquid pack and delivery location. Available documentation and packing are confirmed with the quotation.
