N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone (NMP) Solvent Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- NMP
- NMP Solvent
- N-Methylpyrrolidone
- 1-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone
NMP supplier for resin dissolution, electrode processing and high-boiling process chemistry in Malaysia. The full name N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone appears on labels and CoAs alongside the NMP abbreviation.
Industrial drums suit general coatings and cleaning. Electronic and battery grades add tighter control of water, metals and colour. Anhydrous NMP is requested when moisture would spoil a sensitive reaction or slurry.
Coatings formulators use NMP with polyurethanes and other hard-to-dissolve resins. Battery and electronics plants use controlled-purity solvent in electrode and cleaning steps. Synthesis labs may ask for higher-purity material for small-scale work.
Specify industrial, electronic, battery or anhydrous NMP, any impurity limit, quantity and site. Pack and paperwork for that lot are set on the quotation.

N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone 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 solvent grade | clear colourless liquid | — | General process solvent for coatings, resins, polymer processing, extraction and routine industrial dissolving or cleaning duty. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Electronic and high-purity grade | clear colourless liquid | — | Electronics cleaning, photoresist processing and other duties that need tighter purity or residual impurity control than standard industrial NMP. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Battery-grade NMP | clear colourless liquid | — | Lithium-ion battery electrode slurry preparation and related battery manufacturing steps where low water and controlled purity are specified. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Anhydrous and low-water grade | clear colourless liquid | — | Moisture-sensitive synthesis, formulation and process solvent work where a stated water limit is part of the purchase specification. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Common questions about N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone
What is NMP solvent used for?
NMP is a high-boiling polar aprotic solvent used in coatings and resins, polymer processing, electronics cleaning and photoresist work, lithium-ion battery electrode slurry, petrochemical extraction and industrial cleaning. State the application when enquiring so the grade can be matched to the duty.
Is NMP the same as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone?
Yes. NMP is the common abbreviation for N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, also written as N-methylpyrrolidone, 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, 1-methylpyrrolidin-2-one and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone. This page covers that solvent only, not polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) or other pyrrolidone derivatives.
Which NMP grade should I request?
Industrial solvent grade suits coatings, resins, extraction and routine process work. Electronic or high-purity grades are preferred for photoresist and electronics cleaning. Battery-grade and anhydrous or low-water grades are selected when moisture and purity limits are tight. Send the target specification with the enquiry.
What specifications matter for N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone?
Buyers commonly confirm appearance, assay, water content and any impurity limits required by the process. For battery or electronics work, state the water limit and residual impurity targets. Include the current specification or a sample requirement so the quoted grade can be checked against them.
Can documentation and packing be confirmed with the quotation?
Yes. List any required product documents and preferred pack format in the enquiry. Available documentation, packing and commercial details are confirmed for the quoted grade.
How do I get an NMP solvent price in Malaysia?
Send the grade or purity target, application, quantity and delivery location. Mention water limits, documentation needs and preferred packing so the quotation can address the complete requirement. Prices are given on enquiry with a stated validity period.
