Mono-Chloroacetic Acid (MCAA)

Chloroacetic acid, also known as monochloroacetic acid, is a bifunctional compound. It is colorless or light yellow, fine-grained or acicular crystal, with pungent odor. It is soluble in most organic solvents such as water, ethanol, chloroform, ether and benzene, and the product is easy to deliquesce. In recent years, the global total annual consumption has exceeded 800000 tons

Molecular formula : C2H3ClO2
INCI name : Chloroacetic acid
Chemical name : MCAA
Molecular Weight : 94.5 g/mol
Specific Gravity : 1.58g/cm3 (20°C)
Appearance : Powder / Liquid

Application of MCAA

1. Determination of zinc, calcium, silicon and titanium; Synthesis of caffeine, adrenaline, aminoacetic acid and naphthylacetic acid; rust remover;
2. Used as starch adhesive;
3. It is also an intermediate of dyes, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, synthetic resins and other organic synthetic materials;
4. Used to produce indigo dye in dye industry;
5. It is also an important carboxymethylating agent for preparing sodium carboxymethylcellulose, ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid, nonferrous metal flotation agent and chromatographic analysis reagent;
6. MCA esters, carboxymethyl cellulose, carboxymethyl starch, thioglycolic acid, crop protection chemicals (MCPA, 2,4-D, dimethoate, glyphosate), cyanoacetic acid (incl. esters), barbiturates, malonic acid (incl. esters and derivates), vitamins, sequestering agents (EDTA), glycine, dyes (indigo and derivates), chloroacetylchloride (CAC), surfactants

After a long period of research and development and production practice, Synopsis Chemitech has developed Acetic Anhydride Catalyzed acetic acid chlorination method with continuous MCAA production process.

Major Raw Material: Acetic anhydride Acetic Acid; Chlorine gas and others; Cl2 gas and NaOH to be build inhouse by later stage and supply to both MCAA plant.

Mono-Chloroacetic Acid (MCAA) plants build by Synopsis Chemitech based on Non-sulfur technology will have following advantages:

1. Our technologies covered both Food Pharma Grade & Detergents Grade.
2. Non-sulfur technology.
3. High products quality (Monochloroacetic acid ≥98-99%).
4. Zero waste, 100% recirculation internally.
5. Good hydrogenation with Low investment.
6. Modern plant. Higher level of automation process to increasing that precision control. Full automatic centrifuge is used for continuous separation of products with stable output.
7. Lower that labor intensity to avoid the mistake.
8. Wide range of raw materials available in most of counties.
9. Lower requirements for production conditions. manufacturers easy to meet the process requirements.
10. Standard single set of reactor to procedure high capacity up to 10,000 tons / year.
11. Strong adaptability to meets most of production conditions.
