N-Octyl-2-Pyrrolidone Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- NOP
- 1-Octyl-2-Pyrrolidone
- N-Octylpyrrolidone
- Octyl Pyrrolidone
ChemTrade handles N-octyl-2-pyrrolidone supplier Malaysia enquiries for NOP, a liquid linear N-alkyl-2-pyrrolidone used in formulation work that requires wetting, coupling and solvency. The full chemical name should accompany the NOP abbreviation so the requested product remains unambiguous.
N-octyl-2-pyrrolidone grades are selected for rapid wetting, soil dispersion, pigment wetting, solubilisation and coupling duties. The buyer should state the formulation type and required specification rather than assuming it is interchangeable with another pyrrolidone or surfactant class.
Applications include hard-surface cleaners, industrial degreasers, printing inks, coatings, agrochemical formulations, personal-care systems, and metal or electronics cleaning. NOP is distinct from N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone and from lauryl or other alkyl pyrrolidones with different chain lengths.
Send the application, functional target, required grade, specification, quantity and delivery location for a quotation. Availability, packing, documentation, delivery timing and commercial terms are confirmed for the stated requirement.

N-Octyl-2-Pyrrolidone applications
Common questions about N-octyl-2-pyrrolidone
Is N-octyl-2-pyrrolidone the same as NMP?
No. N-octyl-2-pyrrolidone, or NOP, has a hydrophobic octyl group and is used for wetting and coupling as well as solvency. N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone is a separate chemical and should not be treated as the same grade.
Are other alkyl pyrrolidones grades of N-octyl-2-pyrrolidone?
No. Lauryl and other chain-length pyrrolidones are separate members of the alkyl pyrrolidone family. The enquiry should specify N-octyl-2-pyrrolidone when the octyl product is required.
How is an N-octyl-2-pyrrolidone grade selected?
State the formulation type and whether the main requirement is rapid wetting, soil dispersion, pigment wetting, solubilisation or coupling. Include any physical, colour or formulation-compatibility limits that the grade must meet.
What is needed for an N-octyl-2-pyrrolidone quotation?
Provide the grade, specification, application, quantity and delivery location. Availability, packing and documentation are confirmed with the quotation.
