Ethylene Carbonate Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- 1,3-Dioxolan-2-One
Ethylene carbonate supplier in Malaysia for battery electrolyte, fine-chemical and industrial formulation buyers. Also named 1,3-dioxolan-2-one, this cyclic carbonate (CAS 96-49-1, C3H4O3) is a colourless crystalline material that becomes a clear liquid when warmed.
Industrial, high-purity and electrolyte grades share the same chemical identity but differ in assay, water, acidity, colour and trace-impurity controls. Its normal solid-to-liquid phase change can affect storage and transfer planning without indicating a change in product identity.
Ethylene carbonate is used as a polar solvent, diluent and synthesis building block, and as a high-purity component in lithium-ion battery electrolyte formulations. It is distinct from propylene carbonate and dimethyl carbonate, although buyers may evaluate those separate products in related formulation work.
Send the required grade, purity, water and impurity limits, application, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Ethylene Carbonate 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Industrial-grade ethylene carbonate | colourless crystals or clear liquid when warmed | — | Polar solvent, diluent and cyclic carbonate intermediate for industrial synthesis, resin and specialty formulation work. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| High-purity ethylene carbonate | colourless crystalline material with controlled water and impurities | — | Fine-chemical and electronic applications where the receiving specification sets tighter purity, acidity, water and colour limits. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Electrolyte-grade ethylene carbonate | high-purity crystalline solid or warmed liquid | — | Lithium-ion battery electrolyte formulation where trace water, acidity and impurity limits are defined by the electrolyte producer. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Ethylene Carbonate applications
Safety and handling
Keep ethylene carbonate tightly sealed and protect it from moisture, heat and incompatible materials. Control temperature where solidification or liquefaction affects transfer, and follow the safety information for the quoted grade.
Common questions about Ethylene carbonate
Why can ethylene carbonate arrive as crystals or liquid?
Ethylene carbonate can be crystalline at ordinary storage temperatures and becomes a clear liquid when warmed. This phase change does not create a different chemical grade, although handling and transfer procedures should follow the product information for the quoted material.
Which ethylene carbonate grade should a buyer request?
Industrial grade suits general solvent and intermediate work. High-purity or electrolyte grade is appropriate when the process sets tighter limits for water, acidity, colour and trace impurities.
What specifications matter for electrolyte-grade ethylene carbonate?
Electrolyte producers normally define assay, water, acidity, colour and a detailed impurity profile. Send the receiving specification rather than relying on the words battery grade alone.
Is ethylene carbonate the same as propylene carbonate?
No. Both are cyclic carbonate solvents, but they are separate chemicals with different identities and physical behaviour. The enquiry should state the exact carbonate and CAS number required by the formulation.
Is ethylene carbonate the same as dimethyl carbonate?
No. Ethylene carbonate is a cyclic carbonate that can be crystalline near ordinary temperatures, while dimethyl carbonate is a different molecular product and liquid solvent. They may be used in related electrolyte work but are not grades or aliases of one another.
What packing and documents are available for ethylene carbonate?
Pack format and supporting documents depend on the grade and supply arrangement. State the preferred pack and document list so availability can be confirmed with the quotation.
What details are needed for an ethylene carbonate price in Malaysia?
Send the grade, assay, water and impurity requirements, application, quantity and delivery location. Pricing is issued on enquiry with a stated validity period, and delivery timing is confirmed in the offer.
