Tolyltriazole (TTA) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- TTA
- Tolytriazole
- Tolyl Triazole
- Methylbenzotriazole
Tolyltriazole supplier for water-treatment, coolant and metalworking buyers in Malaysia. Also known as TTA, tolytriazole, tolyl triazole and methylbenzotriazole, this copper corrosion inhibitor forms a thin passivating film on copper and copper-alloy surfaces in cooling circuits and formulated fluids.
Commercial supply covers solid tolyltriazole crystalline powder or granules and sodium tolyltriazole aqueous liquid. Solid TTA is chosen for formulation and dissolving before use, while the sodium salt liquid suits pump dosing in cooling water where ready aqueous addition is required.
Industrial cooling programmes use TTA wherever copper tubing or exchangers are present. Automotive and manufacturing formulators add it to engine coolants, brake fluids, antifreeze and metalworking fluids to protect yellow metals under service conditions.
Send the required solid or sodium-salt liquid form, assay or strength, application, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Tolyltriazole 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tolyltriazole solid (TTA) | white to pale yellow crystalline powder or granules | typically 99% minimum, or as specified | Copper and copper-alloy corrosion inhibitor where solid TTA is dosed, dissolved or formulated into cooling-water packages, coolants and metalworking fluids. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Sodium tolyltriazole liquid | aqueous sodium-salt solution | — | Pump or continuous dosing in industrial cooling water and other aqueous treatment programmes that specify the sodium salt of tolyltriazole rather than the free solid. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Common questions about tolyltriazole
What is tolyltriazole (TTA) used for?
Tolyltriazole is a copper corrosion inhibitor. Water treaters dose it in cooling systems that contain copper tubing or heat exchangers, and formulators use it in coolants, antifreeze, metalworking fluids and other packages that must protect yellow metals in service.
What is the difference between solid tolyltriazole and sodium tolyltriazole liquid?
Solid TTA is the free crystalline product, typically selected for formulation or dissolving before use. Sodium tolyltriazole is the sodium salt, usually supplied as an aqueous liquid for direct dosing into water-treatment systems. State the dosing method and target residual so the correct form can be quoted.
Are TTA, tolytriazole and methylbenzotriazole the same product?
Yes. TTA, tolytriazole, tolyl triazole and methylbenzotriazole are common alternate names for tolyltriazole (CAS 29385-43-1, typically a mixture of 4- and 5-methyl isomers). Still state solid or sodium-salt liquid form and assay in the enquiry.
Is tolyltriazole suitable for cooling-water copper protection?
Yes. Industrial cooling programmes commonly use TTA to protect copper and copper alloys. Suitability depends on system metallurgy, water chemistry and the full treatment package, so describe the circuit and target residual with the enquiry.
What specifications should a buyer provide for tolyltriazole?
State solid or sodium-salt liquid form, assay or solution strength, appearance preference, and any impurity or programme limits required by the water treatment, coolant or metalworking formulation. An existing specification sheet helps match the quotation more closely.
What details are needed for a tolyltriazole price enquiry?
Provide the form, application, target specification, quantity and delivery location. Mention any preferred pack format, documentation needs and required timing so the quotation can address the complete requirement.
