Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Polyacrylonitrile Polymer
Polyacrylonitrile is supplied for Malaysian industrial, textile, plastics, carbon-fibre and laboratory buyers. It is also called PAN. This synthetic nitrile polymer is specified by form and process requirement rather than as a single undifferentiated material.
Commercial requirements may call for dry PAN polymer or resin powder, a prepared solution or spinning dope, or precursor-grade material for fibre-forming work. The required specification depends on the intended process, including polymer handling, spinning behaviour and downstream treatment, so the enquiry should identify the form clearly.
Applications include acrylic-fibre production, specialty polymer and plastics development, carbon-fibre precursor routes, and laboratory research. PAN fibre used as a precursor should not be confused with finished acrylic fibre, and PAN should not be confused with acrylonitrile monomer, which is a separate product.
Send the required grade or form, specification, concentration where relevant, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

PAN 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Polyacrylonitrile polymer or resin powder | dry polymer powder or resin | — | Polymer processing, specialty resin work and laboratory development where a nitrile-containing synthetic polymer is required in a dry form. | Pack format is confirmed with the quotation for the requested grade and quantity. |
| PAN solution or spinning dope | polymer solution or prepared spinning feedstock | — | Wet-spinning, dry-spinning and process-development work where PAN is formed into precursor filaments or other controlled polymer structures. | Solution container format and concentration are confirmed with the quotation. |
| Precursor-grade polyacrylonitrile | precursor polymer, solution or fibre-forming feedstock | — | Carbon-fibre precursor development and production, with the polymer grade and process specification matched to the required stabilisation and carbonisation route. | Pack format and presentation are confirmed with the quotation. |

Safety and handling
Keep dry polymer forms clean, sealed and protected from heat and contamination. Store solution or spinning-dope forms under the conditions specified for the quoted formulation and follow its safety information. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.
Common questions about PAN
What is polyacrylonitrile?
Polyacrylonitrile, or PAN, is a synthetic polymer with CAS 25014-41-9. It is supplied as a dry polymer or resin, a solution or spinning dope, and in precursor-oriented forms for fibre and carbon-fibre processing. Acrylonitrile monomer is a different chemical and has its own page.
Is polyacrylonitrile the same as acrylonitrile?
No. Acrylonitrile is the liquid monomer used to make polymers and copolymers; polyacrylonitrile is the resulting polymer material. Do not specify the monomer when the process requires PAN resin, powder, solution or precursor.
Which polyacrylonitrile forms are available?
The relevant market forms include dry PAN polymer or resin powder, solution or spinning dope, and precursor-grade material for fibre-forming and carbon-fibre routes. State the required process, specification and presentation so the quotation can be matched to the application.
Is PAN fibre the same as finished acrylic fibre?
Not necessarily. PAN fibre can describe a polyacrylonitrile-based precursor or fibre-forming material, while finished acrylic fibre is a separate textile product. State whether you need the polymer, spinning feedstock, precursor or finished fibre so the enquiry is directed correctly.
Can polyacrylonitrile be used as a carbon-fibre precursor?
Yes. Precursor-grade PAN is used in carbon-fibre routes and may be specified as a polymer, solution, spinning dope or fibre-forming feedstock. Include the required process, form and downstream performance criteria with the enquiry.
What information is needed for a PAN quotation?
Provide the form, intended application, target specification, solution concentration where relevant, quantity, delivery location and document requirements. The quotation can then address the appropriate PAN polymer or precursor presentation.
