Thionyl Chloride Supplier in Malaysia
Thionyl chloride supplier for pharmaceutical, agrochemical, fine-chemical and battery manufacturers in Malaysia. Identified by CAS 7719-09-7, this colourless to pale-yellow liquid is ordered as a reactive process reagent against defined purity, moisture and related-impurity requirements.
Commercial choices include industrial material for general processing, synthesis grade for tightly controlled reactions, battery-grade thionyl chloride and high-purity material. Assay, water, acidity, colour, related chlorides and non-volatile residue are central grade-selection parameters.
Chemical manufacturers use thionyl chloride for selected chlorination and dehydration steps in pharmaceutical, agrochemical and specialty synthesis. Battery producers specify a distinct grade for lithium-thionyl chloride cells, with acceptance limits set by the cell process.
Send the required grade, assay and impurity limits, application, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, compatible containment, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Thionyl Chloride 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Industrial-grade thionyl chloride | colourless to pale-yellow liquid | — | General chlorination, dehydration and intermediate manufacture where the buyer specifies purity, colour, related chlorides and residue limits. | Confirm the required containment and handling format with the quotation. |
| Synthesis-grade thionyl chloride | clear liquid | — | Pharmaceutical, agrochemical and fine-chemical processes that require a more tightly controlled assay and impurity profile. | Confirm the required containment and handling format with the quotation. |
| Battery-grade thionyl chloride | high-purity liquid | — | Lithium-thionyl chloride battery production where water, acidity, colour, residue and trace-impurity limits are controlled by the cell manufacturer. | Confirm the required containment and handling format with the quotation. |
| High-purity thionyl chloride | clear liquid | — | Specialised synthesis and electronic-material processes that require tighter moisture and related-substance controls than a general industrial grade. | Confirm the required containment and handling format with the quotation. |

Common questions about Thionyl chloride
What is thionyl chloride used for in manufacturing?
Thionyl chloride is used as a chlorinating and dehydrating reagent in selected pharmaceutical, agrochemical, fine-chemical and inorganic processes. State the reaction duty and impurity specification so the appropriate industrial or synthesis grade can be considered.
Is thionyl chloride the same as sulfuryl chloride?
No. Thionyl chloride and sulfuryl chloride are separate compounds with different composition and reaction behaviour. They should not be treated as aliases or substituted solely because both are reactive sulphur chlorides.
Which thionyl chloride grade should a buyer request?
Industrial grade suits general process use, synthesis grade serves more tightly controlled pharmaceutical or agrochemical reactions, and battery grade focuses on water, acidity, residue and trace impurities. Include the current specification with the enquiry.
Can thionyl chloride be requested for lithium battery production?
Yes. State that the requirement is for lithium-thionyl chloride cells and provide the water, acidity, colour, residue and trace-impurity limits used by the cell manufacturer. A general industrial grade should not be assumed suitable.
What specifications should be provided for thionyl chloride?
Include assay or purity, appearance and colour, water, acidity, related chlorides and non-volatile residue. Add the intended process, quantity and delivery location for a complete quotation.
How should a buyer distinguish thionyl chloride from other chlorinating reagents?
Name thionyl chloride and CAS 7719-09-7 directly, then state the reaction and required impurity limits. Phosphorus oxychloride, benzoyl chloride, chlorine and other chlorinating materials are separate products with their own uses.
Can containment and product documents be requested?
Yes. State the compatible containment and connection requirements and list the product documents needed for review. Suitable arrangements and available documentation are confirmed for the selected grade with the quotation.
What details are needed for a thionyl chloride price enquiry?
Send the grade, assay and impurity specification, process use, quantity and delivery location. Include containment, documentation and timing needs so the offer is based on the intended material.
