Formamide Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Methanamide
Formamide supplier in Malaysia for chemical synthesis, pharmaceutical process and laboratory buyers. Also called methanamide, formamide is a clear, hygroscopic polar liquid used as a reaction medium, reagent and intermediate where its specific chemical identity is written into the process.
Commercial selection ranges from industrial material for routine synthesis to high-purity grades with tighter assay, water, colour and residue controls. Molecular biology grade is a separate quality level for nucleic-acid denaturation and hybridisation methods, where the method and required documents should be stated with the enquiry.
Manufacturers use formamide in heterocyclic and other nitrogen-containing chemical routes, while pharmaceutical and agricultural producers may specify it in approved intermediate chemistry. It is not dimethylformamide and not formic acid, despite the related names and nearby uses as process chemicals.
Send the required grade, specification, application, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. A 500 mL laboratory pack is a known option, while current availability, other pack formats, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Formamide 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 formamide | clear, colourless hygroscopic liquid | — | Polar process solvent and chemical intermediate in synthesis routes that specify formamide, including heterocyclic and specialty chemical production. | Confirm the required commercial pack format with the quotation. |
| High-purity formamide | clear, colourless liquid with tighter water and impurity control | — | Pharmaceutical intermediate, controlled synthesis and laboratory reagent duty where the buyer sets assay, water, colour and residue limits. | A 500 mL laboratory pack is a known option. Other pack sizes and current availability are confirmed with the quotation. |
| Molecular biology grade formamide | clear, colourless liquid prepared for nucleic-acid methods | — | Denaturing and hybridisation procedures where nuclease control and method-specific quality requirements are more important than an industrial grade designation. | Confirm the required laboratory pack and documentation with the quotation. |

Formamide applications
Safety and handling
Keep the container tightly closed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from incompatible materials. Formamide absorbs moisture, so minimise exposure during sampling and follow the safety data sheet for the quoted grade. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.
Common questions about formamide
Are formamide and methanamide the same product?
Yes. Methanamide is the systematic name for formamide, the compound at CAS 75-12-7. Both names may appear on specifications and laboratory methods.
Is formamide the same as dimethylformamide or formic acid?
No. Formamide, dimethylformamide and formic acid are separate chemicals with different structures and process behaviour. A purchase order should state formamide or methanamide and the CAS number when the name could be confused.
Which formamide grade should I request?
Industrial grade suits general synthesis and intermediate duty. High-purity material is selected when assay, water, colour or residue limits are tighter, while molecular biology grade is intended for nucleic-acid methods with method-specific quality controls.
Why does water content matter for formamide?
Formamide is hygroscopic and takes up moisture from the air. Extra water can affect reaction concentration, analytical methods and nucleic-acid work, so buyers should state the maximum water level their process accepts.
Is 500 mL packing available for formamide?
A 500 mL laboratory pack is recorded as a known option. Current pack format, availability, grade and documentation are confirmed when the quotation is prepared.
What details are needed for a formamide price enquiry?
Provide the grade, assay and water limits, application, quantity, delivery location and required documents. For laboratory use, include the method and preferred bottle size so the offer matches the work.
