Sodium Monochloro Acetate (SMCA)
Sodium Monochloro Acetate (SMCA) is a white crystalline powder widely used as a versatile intermediate in the synthesis of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), agrochemicals, and surfactants. It is the sodium salt of monochloroacetic acid and offers excellent reactivity, especially in etherification and substitution reactions. SMCA plays a crucial role in industries such as textiles, pharmaceuticals, and oil field chemicals due to its functional properties and ease of handling.Chemical Formula: C₂H₂ClNaO₂
Chemical Code: CAS 3926-62-3
