FAQ
Monochloroacetic acid, as an important organic fine chemical intermediate, is a colorless to white crystalline powder with a strong irritating odor. It exhibits deliquescence and extreme corrosiveness. Monochloroacetic acid is readily soluble in water and can dissolve in benzene, chloroform, ethanol, and sulfur dioxide. When heated, it decomposes to form toxic chlorides. Monochloroacetic acid exists in three isomers: α, β, and γ. The α-isomer has a melting point of 63°C, the β-isomer melts at 55–56°C, and the γ-isomer melts at 50°C. As a vital organic fine chemical raw material and intermediate, monochloroacetic acid is widely used in agriculture, pharmaceuticals, dyes, papermaking, daily chemicals, surfactants, chemical reagents, textile auxiliaries, rubber additives, and other fields.
There are many methods for preparing monochloroacetic acid, such as catalytic chlorination of acetic acid, chlorination of hydroxyacetic acid, sulfur-catalyzed chlorination, hydrolysis of chloroacetic chloride, hydrolysis of trichloroethylene, oxidation of chloroethanol, and the trichloroacetaldehyde route.
Process Advantages: Currently, it uses China's advanced acetic acid catalytic method, featuring high automation, zero discharge of “three wastes” (wastewater, waste gas, and solid waste), strong production stability, and consistently high product yields.

Application Field:
Monochloroacetic acid, as an important organic chemical intermediate, is used in a wide range of fields, spanning pesticides, pharmaceuticals, dyes, daily chemicals, papermaking, chemicals, petrochemicals, textiles, electroplating additives, flavorings and fragrances.
- Dyestuff
Monochloroacetic acid is used in the dye industry for the production of indigo dyes and naphthylaminoacetic acid dyes. - Pharmaceuticals
In the pharmaceutical industry, monochloroacetic acid is an intermediate in the production of products such as barbiturates, vitamin B6, vitamin A, and chlortetracycline. It can also serve as a raw material for drugs including caffeine, theobromine, adrenaline, glycine, phenylbutazone, and chloroquine. - Pesticides
Monochloroacetic acid is used in the pesticide industry to produce insecticides, herbicides, and plant growth regulators, such as dimethoate, omethoate, glyphosate, herbicide 2,4-D-butyl ester, 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid, thiocyanatoacetic acid, naphthylacetic acid, metolachlor, acetochlor, butachlor, and 4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid products. - Fine Organic Synthesis
Monochloroacetic acid is a key raw material for producing carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and serves as an important carboxymethylating agent. It is also an excellent raw material for synthesizing fine chemicals such as malonic acid, malononitrile, malonic esters, mercaptoacetic acid, and mercaptoacetic esters. In the personal care and surfactant sectors, monochloroacetic acid is used as a raw material for producing detergents, soaps, and cosmetics. For instance, its derivative betaine acetate functions as an excellent amphoteric surfactant. Beyond these applications, it is used in rubber additives, geological drilling in the petroleum industry, and metal surface treatment in the electroplating industry.
