Ethephon Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- 2-Chloroethylphosphonic Acid
- CEPA
Ethephon supplier for agricultural, rubber and agrochemical formulation buyers in Malaysia. Also known as 2-chloroethylphosphonic acid or CEPA, ethephon is a water-soluble plant growth regulator selected by active content, formulation format and the crop or process in which it will be used.
A 40% aqueous solution is a recognised commercial option, including a 250 kg reference size. Technical-grade ethephon is a separate formulation input, so buyers should state whether they need a defined liquid concentrate or high-active material for downstream manufacture.
Agricultural programmes use ethephon for controlled plant responses such as flowering induction, maturation, ripening or harvest management, while rubber estates use formulated material in latex-stimulation programmes. The page does not prescribe application rates because crop, formulation and use conditions must be established for the buyer's programme.
Send the required active content, technical or solution form, intended use, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.

Ethephon 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ethephon 40% solution | aqueous liquid concentrate | 40% ethephon | Agricultural and rubber-sector programmes that specify a liquid ethephon concentrate at this active content for controlled downstream dilution or formulation. | A 250 kg size is a known reference option; final pack format is confirmed with the quotation. |
| Technical-grade ethephon | high-active technical material | Confirm the required active content and impurity limits with the quotation. | Agrochemical formulation and manufacturing where the buyer controls the final concentration, solvent system and quality specification rather than purchasing a finished retail treatment. | Confirm the required net weight and container with the quotation. |

Safety and handling
Store sealed in a cool, dry, ventilated place and protect the material from incompatible alkaline contamination. Use the safety data and handling instructions for the quoted ethephon grade.
Common questions about ethephon
What is ethephon and how is it used?
Ethephon is 2-chloroethylphosphonic acid, a plant growth regulator that can release ethylene in plant tissue. Buyers use it within crop-specific or rubber-sector programmes, so the intended crop, process and concentration must accompany the enquiry.
Is ethephon 40% the same as technical-grade ethephon?
No. The 40% option is an aqueous concentrate at a defined active content, while technical material is purchased for further formulation and can have a different concentration and impurity profile. Specify which form your process requires.
Is ethephon the same as ethylene gas?
No. Ethephon is a chemical active ingredient that releases ethylene under suitable conditions; ethylene gas is a separate product and delivery system. They should not be substituted without process and agronomic review.
Which crop or rubber use should be stated in an ethephon enquiry?
State the crop or rubber application, target active concentration, current formulation format and quantity. This helps distinguish a technical formulation requirement from a ready liquid concentrate. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.
What packing and documents can be requested for ethephon?
A 250 kg reference size is known for the 40% solution. Pack format and document sets vary by grade, so list the required specification, safety data and certificate needs for confirmation with the quotation.
What details are needed for an ethephon price enquiry?
Provide the active content, technical or solution form, crop or manufacturing use, quantity, preferred packing, documentation and delivery location. Price and validity are then quoted for the defined requirement.
