Propylene Carbonate Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- PC
- 4-Methyl-1,3-Dioxolan-2-One
- Cyclic Propylene Carbonate
- 1,2-Propylene Carbonate
Propylene carbonate supplier for manufacturers that need a polar aprotic cyclic carbonate solvent. Also called PC, 4-methyl-1,3-dioxolan-2-one and cyclic propylene carbonate, this clear high-boiling liquid is valued for strong solvency, low odour and a high dielectric constant in industrial and electrolyte duty.
Commercial options include technical industrial grade for general process solvent work, high-purity or battery electrolyte grade with tighter water and impurity control, and formulation grades used in paint strippers and cleaners. Liquid supply is typically arranged in drums, IBCs or bulk, with packing confirmed at quotation.
Typical applications cover lithium-ion electrolyte co-solvents, coatings and adhesives, industrial cleaning blends, selected gas treating and CO2 absorption work, personal-care carriers and construction chemical formulations. Keep this product distinct from propylene glycol, dimethyl carbonate and ethylene carbonate.
Send the required grade, any water or assay limit, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.

Propylene 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Technical industrial grade | clear colourless liquid | — | General polar aprotic solvent duty in coatings, adhesives, process dissolving, gas treating and industrial formulation work. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| High-purity and battery electrolyte grade | clear colourless liquid | — | Lithium-ion electrolyte co-solvent and other high-purity solvent duty where buyers specify tight water, acid and impurity limits. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Cleaning and paint-stripper formulation grade | clear colourless liquid | — | Co-solvent in paint strippers, industrial cleaners and related formulations that use propylene carbonate for solvency and low-odour handling. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Safety and handling
Keep sealed in a cool, dry place away from strong oxidisers and incompatible materials. Use gloves and eye protection and follow the safety data sheet for the quoted grade.
Common questions about propylene carbonate
What is propylene carbonate used for as a solvent?
Buyers typically specify propylene carbonate as a polar aprotic solvent with a high dielectric constant for battery electrolytes, paint strippers, cleaners, coatings, adhesives and selected gas-treating duty. State the application so the grade and purity target can be matched.
Is battery-grade propylene carbonate different from industrial grade?
Yes. Battery and high-purity grades are usually controlled more tightly for water, acid value and residual impurities than general industrial solvent grade. Send any required limits or a target specification with the enquiry.
Is propylene carbonate the same as propylene glycol?
No. Propylene carbonate is the cyclic carbonate ester of propylene glycol and is a different chemical identity, with CAS 108-32-7. Do not substitute propylene glycol, dimethyl carbonate or ethylene carbonate without checking the formulation.
Which packing formats are available for propylene carbonate?
Commercial supply is commonly arranged in drums, IBCs or bulk liquid consignments. Preferred pack size and format should be listed in the enquiry and are confirmed with the quotation.
How do I request a propylene carbonate price in Malaysia?
Provide the grade, any purity or water limit, quantity, delivery location and preferred packing. Price is issued on enquiry with a stated validity period rather than as a fixed published figure.
Can documentation be supplied with the quotation?
Yes. List the documents you need, such as a certificate of analysis or safety data sheet, in the enquiry. Available documentation is confirmed for the quoted grade before supply is arranged.
