Thiodiglycol Supplier Malaysia
- Also known as
- Bis(2-Hydroxyethyl) Sulfide
- 2,2-Thiodiethanol
Thiodiglycol is a sulfur-containing diol used as an industrial intermediate and process chemical. It is also identified as bis(2-hydroxyethyl) sulfide or 2,2-thiodiethanol and is normally handled as a clear hygroscopic liquid.
Commercial selections include technical, high-purity and low-colour grades. Buyers may specify assay, colour, water, acidity and selected organic impurities according to the downstream synthesis or appearance requirements.
Uses include the manufacture of selected dyes and textile chemicals, speciality inks, coatings, resins and other organic intermediates. Thiodiglycol is a distinct chemical from diethylene glycol, ethylene glycol and mercaptoethanol despite related naming or hydroxyl functionality.
Provide the application, required grade, analytical limits, volume, packing preference and delivery location. Availability, documentation and commercial arrangements are confirmed with the quotation. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.

Thiodiglycol 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 thiodiglycol | clear to pale yellow liquid | Assay, colour, water and acidity confirmed against the industrial specification | Intermediate and solvent component in dye, textile, ink, resin and speciality chemical manufacture. | Drum or IBC format is confirmed with the quotation. |
| High-purity thiodiglycol | clear colourless liquid | Tighter assay, water and impurity limits matched to fine-chemical processing | Controlled synthesis and formulation work requiring lower colour and more consistent impurity levels. | Sealed drum packing is confirmed with the offer. |
| Low-colour formulation grade | clear low-colour liquid | Colour stability, water and acidity limits defined for appearance-sensitive systems | Printing, coating and speciality formulation routes where raw-material colour must be controlled. | Drum or smaller commercial liquid packing is confirmed with the quotation. |

Common questions about thiodiglycol
What is thiodiglycol used for industrially?
Thiodiglycol is used as an intermediate or process component in selected dyes, textile chemicals, inks, resins and speciality organic synthesis.
Is thiodiglycol the same as diethylene glycol?
No. Thiodiglycol contains sulfur in the central linkage, while diethylene glycol contains oxygen. They are separate chemicals and should be ordered by exact name.
Which thiodiglycol grade should I request?
Technical grade may suit general synthesis, while high-purity or low-colour material is considered when impurity or appearance controls are tighter.
What specifications are commonly requested for thiodiglycol?
A purchasing specification may include assay, appearance, colour, water, acidity and selected organic impurities, together with the required analytical document.
How can I request a thiodiglycol quotation in Malaysia?
Send the intended use, grade, analytical limits, quantity, container preference and delivery location. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.
