Trichloroacetic Acid Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Trichloroethanoic Acid
- 2,2,2-Trichloroacetic Acid
- TCA
- CCl3COOH
Trichloroacetic acid supplier enquiries in Malaysia cover the crystalline chlorinated organic acid also known as trichloroethanoic acid or TCA. This page covers CAS 76-03-9 and formula CCl3COOH, not ordinary acetic acid or another chlorinated acid.
Commercial choices include technical grade crystalline material, reagent or high-purity grade, and buyer-specified aqueous solutions. Assay, moisture, concentration and impurity limits should be matched to the process or analytical method rather than assumed from the TCA abbreviation alone.
Trichloroacetic acid is used in selected chemical synthesis, fine-chemical and pharmaceutical-intermediate processing, laboratory sample preparation and analytical methods including protein precipitation. Buyers should identify whether the requirement is for crystalline material or a prepared solution.
Send the required grade, assay or solution concentration, specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. A 500 g pack is a known option for crystalline material, while availability, exact packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.
- CAS number
- 76-03-9

Trichloroacetic 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 trichloroacetic acid | colourless to white crystalline solid | Confirmed against the required industrial specification. | Chemical synthesis and industrial processing where trichloroacetic acid is specified by identity, assay and controlled impurity limits. | A 500 g pack is a known option; format and availability are confirmed with the quotation. |
| Reagent or high-purity trichloroacetic acid | high-purity crystalline solid | Purity and impurity limits confirmed against the buyer's analytical specification. | Laboratory preparation, analytical work and controlled fine-chemical or biochemical processing requiring tighter purity documentation. | Packing is confirmed against the required grade and quantity. |
| Buyer-specified trichloroacetic acid solution | aqueous solution at the stated concentration | Concentration confirmed against the buyer's requirement. | Processes or laboratory methods that require a prepared solution rather than crystalline material, subject to concentration and impurity limits. | Solution availability and packing are confirmed with the quotation. |

Safety and handling
Keep tightly sealed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from bases, oxidisers and incompatible materials. Protect crystalline material from moisture and handle according to the safety data for the quoted grade. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.
Common questions about trichloroacetic acid
Is trichloroacetic acid the same as trichloroethanoic acid?
Yes. Trichloroacetic acid, trichloroethanoic acid and 2,2,2-trichloroacetic acid refer to the same chemical identity, CAS 76-03-9. TCA is a common abbreviation, although it can be ambiguous outside a chemical specification.
Is trichloroacetic acid the same as acetic acid?
No. Trichloroacetic acid is a chlorinated organic acid with three chlorine atoms, while acetic acid is a different compound. They have different properties and are not interchangeable in a formulation or analytical method.
Should I request technical or reagent grade trichloroacetic acid?
Technical grade is generally selected for industrial synthesis and process work. Reagent or high-purity material is used where assay and impurity limits are more tightly controlled for laboratory, analytical or fine-chemical work. Send the method or specification with the enquiry.
Can trichloroacetic acid be supplied as a prepared solution?
Prepared aqueous solutions are a genuine commercial form, but the required concentration must be stated. Include the solution strength, grade, quantity and impurity limits so availability and packing can be confirmed.
Can a 500 g pack and product documents be requested?
A 500 g pack is a known option for crystalline material. List the preferred format and required documents, and available packing and documentation will be confirmed for the quoted grade.
