Sodium Sarcosinate Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Sodium N-Methylglycinate
- Sodium Methylglycinate
- Sarcosine Sodium Salt
Sodium sarcosinate supplier enquiries in Malaysia cover the sodium salt of sarcosine, also known as sodium N-methylglycinate. It is used primarily as a specialty intermediate for sarcosinate surfactants and other derivatives rather than as a finished lauroyl or cocoyl surfactant.
Commercial requirements may specify an aqueous solution at a stated active concentration, crystalline powder for dry charging or a high-purity intermediate grade. Assay, water or concentration, pH, colour, free sarcosine and related substances should be matched to the synthesis route.
Applications include manufacture of sodium lauroyl sarcosinate and other N-acyl sarcosinates, specialty chemical synthesis, pharmaceutical-related processing and laboratory development. Sodium sarcosinate is distinct from free sarcosine and from sodium lauroyl sarcosinate.
Send the required form, assay or concentration, purity limits, downstream use, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing and documentation are confirmed with the quotation.

Sodium Sarcosinate 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sodium sarcosinate aqueous solution | clear colourless to pale yellow liquid | — | Pumped intermediate feed for manufacture of sarcosinate surfactants and other specialty derivatives at a stated active concentration. | Confirm the required liquid pack format with the quotation. |
| Sodium sarcosinate powder | white to off-white crystalline powder | — | Dry charging, synthesis and formulation work where low water addition and a defined sodium sarcosinate assay are required. | Confirm the required protective dry packing with the quotation. |
| High-purity sodium sarcosinate | crystalline powder or controlled aqueous solution | — | Specialty intermediate and pharmaceutical-related synthesis requiring tighter colour, moisture, assay and related-substance limits. | Confirm the pack format appropriate to the quoted form. |

Safety and handling
Keep powder grades sealed and dry. Protect solutions from contamination and extremes of temperature, and follow the handling information for the quoted grade.
Common questions about sodium sarcosinate
Is sodium sarcosinate the same as sarcosine?
No. Sarcosine is the free N-methylglycine compound, while sodium sarcosinate is its sodium salt. They have separate specifications and should be ordered by the exact form required by the process.
Is sodium sarcosinate the same as sodium lauroyl sarcosinate?
No. Sodium sarcosinate is a small-molecule intermediate, while sodium lauroyl sarcosinate is a finished N-acyl surfactant made with a lauroyl group. The two are not interchangeable.
Which sodium sarcosinate form should I request?
Aqueous solution suits pumped intermediate dosing, while crystalline powder suits dry charging and low-water synthesis. State the target active content or assay and the downstream reaction.
What specifications matter for sodium sarcosinate?
Assay or active content, water or solution concentration, pH, colour, free sarcosine and related substances are common controls. Add any limits from the derivative-manufacturing process.
What information is needed for a Malaysia quotation?
Provide the exact sodium sarcosinate form, assay or concentration, purity limits, intended derivative or process, quantity, delivery location and document requirements.
