Before your inquiry

What is EC?

Ethylene carbonate · CAS 96-49-1 · C₃H₄O₃ · 88.06 g/mol.

Where is it used?

Grade-qualified electrolyte formulations; Organic-synthesis intermediate. Suitability must be validated for your formulation and process.

Which specification applies to the order?

Listed grades: Industrial grade, Battery grade. Website values are unverified procurement references, not a batch guarantee. Confirm the controlled TDS and actual batch COA.

How is packaging and shipping confirmed?

Reference packaging: 250 kg steel drums / IBC totes (temperature-controlled or solid delivery). Confirm net weight, material compatibility, SDS classification and carrier acceptance before ordering.

Packaging & documents

250 kg steel drums / IBC totes (temperature-controlled or solid delivery) · TDS / SDS / COA
