Product Details:

Sodium Monochloro Acetate (SMCA) is the derivative of Monochloroacetic Acid (MCA) obtained by its neutralization with alkali. This is a versatile product and is used as raw material or intimidates in the manufacture of the following important organic & textile chemicals.

• Herbicides such as 2.4D, 2,4,5 Trichlorophenoxyacetic Acid etc.
• Sequestering agents such as Sodium salt of Ethylene Diaminetetria acetic Acid (EDTA), Nitriloacetic Acid etc.
• Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC).
• Carboxymethyl Starch.
• Glycolic Acid
• Trioglycolic Acid
• Cyanoacetic Acid and it its Easters
• Dyes Such as Indigo
• Substituted Guar Gums.

Sodium Monochloroacetate is a white colored free flowing fine powder with a pungent odour. It is readily soluble in water and available as a technically pure grade. We are the Leading Exporter of Sodium Monochloro Acetate (SMCA)

Sodium Monochloro Acetate is available as granule and in powder form (of the two forms, granules have better flowing characteristics and reduced caking behavior, making them easier to use).

Synonyms Names:

• Chloroacetic acid sodium salt.
• Chloroctan sodyn.
• Dow defoliant
• Monoxone
• SMA
• Sodium Monochloro Acetate
• Sodium Monochloroacetate

At room temperature sodium monochloro acetate is a white hygroscopic solid (in powder or granule form). Hydrolysis of aqueous solutions of SMCA very rapidly leads to the formation of sodium glycolate and hydrochloric acid, depending on the temperature and time for which it is kept in open.

Sodium Monochloro Acetate is a hazardous substance and has been officially classified as toxic but unlike MCA, SMCA is not corrosive to the skin. As far as known, it does not penetrate the skin but is absorbed after ingestion, causing systemic poisoning. Prolonged contact should be avoided since SMCA is hygroscopic and hydrolysis may occur on wet skin and eyes.

Sodium Monochloro Acetate is hazardous when ingested or inhaled. Even low concentrations may cause poisoning, associated with vomiting and/or symptoms of shock (agitation and/or confusion, later unconsciousness, pale clammy skin, rapid pulse). This may lead to very serious and even fatal injury if immediate and adequate action is not taken.

Exposure should be as low as possible but at least lower than the limits set by local regulations such as the Maximum Allowable Concentration (MAC) value for a working day of 8 hours.

Expert medical attention should be obtained immediately for anyone who has been in contact with ingested or inhaled SMCA. Personal protection, such as acid resistant gloves and clothing, safety goggles, and dust protection for handling solids, must be used to avoid contact with MCA.

Product Details:

Mono Chloro Acetic Acid, CClH2COOH, (chloroacetic acid, chloroethanoic acid or monochloroethanoic acid) is a carboxylic acid which is formed by chlorinating acetic acid. It is a colorless, deliquescent crystalline solid with an odor. Mono Chloro Acetic Acid is highly soluble in water as well as most of the organic solvents, expects carbon tetrachloride. As its structural formula indicates, it is bi functional; with the groups having the possibility of undergoing a reaction

It is manufactured and marketed in a purified form; having the following details

Monochloroacetic Acid (MCA) 99% minimum
Dichoroacetic Acid (DCA) 0.5 Maximum
Other Acids 0.5 Maximum

Pure Mono Chloro Acetic Acid is available in molten state, as flakes or dissolved in water,ethanol and methanol. At room temperature, MCA solids have the appearance of a hygroscopic crystalline substance with a characteristic acidic odor. We are the Leading Exporter of Monochloro Acetate (MCA)

Monochloroacetic Acid 80% solution (above 18°C.) in water and Monochloroacetic Acid molten (above 62°C), is a clear fluid with a characteristic acidic odor. Depending on the temperature, aqueous solutions are subject to extremely slow hydrolysis that ultimately results in the formation of glycolic acid and hydrochloric acid.

Monochloroacetic Acid liquids are rapidly absorbed through the skin, even at low concentrations and even if the acid has not caused any visible skin lesions. If more than 5% of the surface of the skin has been in contact with monochloroacetic acid, general (systemic) poisoning may occur. This is associated with vomiting and/or symptoms of shock (agitation and/or confusion, later unconsciousness, pale clammy skin, rapid pulse). This may lead to very serious and even fatal injury if immediate and adequate action is not taken.

Monochloroacetic Acid is a hazardous substance and has been officially classified as “toxic and corrosive”. Any contact with the skin and eyes may cause severe chemical burns, with possible permanent damage (scarring). Even solutions diluted to 1% may cause painful red spots and swelling following contact with the skin. Inhalation of MCA vapors has an irritant effect on the respiratory tract

Exposure time to the chemical is an important factor. If the treatment of an monochloroacetic acid skin contamination is delayed, it cannot be excluded that you will be poisoned, even if less than 5% of your skin surface has been exposed.

Immediate treatment of the monochloroacetic acid-exposed victims, with saturated bicarbonate solution (emergency bath) or water (emergency shower) is vitally important to prevent symptoms of poisoning and limit skin damage. Therefore, the sites where MCA products are handled should have emergency bicarbonate baths or at least warm showers (approx. 26°C.).

Expert medical attention should be obtained immediately for anyone who has been in contact with monochloroacetic acid or has ingested or inhaled SMCA.

Personal protection, such as acid-resistant gloves and clothing, safety goggles/face shield, and dust protection for handling solids, must be used to avoid contact with monochloroacetic acid.
