HSN Code : 29154010 Synonyms : Sodium Chloroacetate, Chloroacetic acid sodium salt, Monochloroacetic acid sodium salt, Monochloroethanoic acid sodium salt, Chloroethanoic acid sodium salt, SMCA, SMA, Monoxone CAS No. : 3926-62-3 Molecular Formula : C2H2ClNaO2 Application : Sodium Monochloro Acetate is a white free flowing powder with penetrating-burning odour. SMCA is widely used in various industrial applications, including textiles, agrochemicals, herbicides, and cellulose ethers. Textiles: SMCA is widely used in the textile industry for the production of cellulose ethers, which are essential components in textile sizing and finishing processes. It improves the strength, stability, and quality of textile materials. Agrochemicals: Sodium Monochloro Acetate serves as a key ingredient in the formulation of herbicides and plant growth regulators. It helps in weed control and promotes healthy plant growth in agricultural applications. Cellulose Ethers: SMCA is a crucial intermediate in the synthesis of various cellulose ethers, including carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC). These cellulose derivatives find applications in food, pharmaceuticals, personal care, and other industries. Specialty Chemicals: Sodium Monochloro Acetate is used in the production of specialty chemicals, including surfactants, polymers, and fine chemicals. It acts as a building block in the synthesis of these compounds.
