Triclosan Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- 5-Chloro-2-(2,4-Dichlorophenoxy)phenol
- 2,4,4'-Trichloro-2'-Hydroxydiphenyl Ether
Triclosan powder for regulated antimicrobial formulations in personal-care and selected technical systems in Malaysia. It is a chlorinated diphenyl ether active, not chloroxylenol (PCMX) and not a finished disinfectant brand.
Technical and high-purity powders differ on residual solvents and assay. Personal-care grades are chosen against the finished-product standard and local composition rules for the category.
Rinse-off wash and hygiene formulators use triclosan only where the category still permits it. Institutional cleaning concentrates may include technical grades. Textile and polymer treatments can request powder for masterbatch or finish baths.

Common questions about triclosan
Is triclosan the same as PCMX or chloroxylenol?
No. Triclosan is a chlorinated diphenyl ether antimicrobial active. PCMX is chloroxylenol and is covered on a separate catalogue page with different identity and use patterns.
What physical form is usually supplied?
Commercial triclosan is typically a free-flowing white to off-white powder. Assay, residual solvents and particle size depend on the technical or personal-care grade selected.
Can triclosan be used in any personal-care product?
Only where the finished product category still permits this active. Buyers should confirm category rules and labelling requirements before locking a formulation around triclosan.
What belongs in a triclosan raw-material enquiry?
State technical or personal-care grade, target assay, quantity in kilos, preferred documentation and the delivery location so the quotation can match the requirement.
Are kill-rate or finished disinfectant claims published here?
No. This page describes the bulk active for industrial formulation only. Efficacy and label claims belong to the finished product dossier and are not asserted as stock facts.
How is triclosan priced for bulk buyers?
Bulk triclosan is priced on enquiry with a validity period that reflects purity, quantity and the documentation package requested with the order.
