Succinic Acid Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Butanedioic Acid
- Ethylenesuccinic Acid
- Amber Acid
- E363
Succinic acid supplier for resin, coatings, polymer, food and pharmaceutical buyers in Malaysia. Also known as butanedioic acid, ethylenesuccinic acid, amber acid and E363, this white crystalline dicarboxylic acid is traded as powder or granules for industrial and formulated use.
Commercial grades include technical powder for polyester, alkyd and polyurethane chemistry, food grade for acidulant and flavour work, and pharmaceutical grade for salt and intermediate applications. Buyers may also specify bio-based fermentation-route material or petrochemical-route acid when origin matters.
Applications span unsaturated polyester and biodegradable polymer production, coatings and plasticiser chemistry, food and beverage formulations, pharmaceutical intermediates, selected metal-finishing baths, and surfactant chemistry. It is not succinic anhydride, fumaric acid, malic acid or tartaric acid.

Succinic Acid 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 grade succinic acid powder | crystalline powder or granules | — | Unsaturated polyester and alkyd resin manufacture, polyurethane intermediates, coatings chemistry, plasticiser routes and general industrial organic synthesis. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Food grade succinic acid (E363) | crystalline powder | — | Food and beverage acidulant and flavour use where a food-grade dicarboxylic acid is specified. Suitability depends on the application and required grade. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Pharmaceutical grade succinic acid | crystalline powder | — | Salt formation, intermediate chemistry and formulated pharmaceutical work where a pharmaceutical-grade specification is required. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Bio-based succinic acid | crystalline powder | — | Buyers who specify fermentation-route material rather than petrochemical-route succinic acid. Origin and any supporting documentation are confirmed with the quotation for the requested grade. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Safety and handling
Keep sealed in a cool, dry place away from strong bases and oxidising agents. Control dust during powder handling and follow the safety information supplied with the quoted grade.
Common questions about succinic acid
Is succinic acid the same as succinic anhydride?
No. Succinic acid is the dicarboxylic acid butanedioic acid (CAS 110-15-6). Succinic anhydride is a different chemical with different handling, reactivity and uses. State the acid identity clearly in the enquiry so the correct product is quoted.
How does succinic acid differ from fumaric, malic or tartaric acid?
All are organic acids used in industrial or food chemistry, but they are distinct compounds with different structures, solubility and application profiles. Succinic acid is the saturated C4 diacid; do not substitute it for fumaric, malic or tartaric acid without checking the formulation.
Which succinic acid grade should I request?
Technical grade powder is commonly used for resins, coatings and industrial synthesis. Food grade (E363) is selected for food and beverage acidulant use, and pharmaceutical grade is requested when a pharmaceutical specification is required. Bio-based material is an origin option when fermentation-route acid is preferred.
What is bio succinic acid, and can I specify it?
Bio succinic acid usually means material produced by a fermentation route rather than from petrochemical maleic anhydride chemistry. Buyers who need that origin should state it in the enquiry so the quoted grade and any supporting documentation can be matched.
What packing is available for succinic acid powder?
Industrial succinic acid is typically supplied in bags or other sealed dry packs suited to crystalline powder or granules. Preferred pack size and format should be listed in the enquiry and are confirmed with the quotation.
What details are needed for a succinic acid price enquiry?
Provide the grade, form, target specification, quantity and delivery location. Mention any preference for bio-based or petrochemical-route material, documentation needs and timing so the quotation can address the full requirement.
