Used in the production of pesticides and as an intermediate in organic synthesis. It serves as an acidifying agent for starch adhesives. Additionally, it functions as an intermediate in the production of dyes, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, synthetic resins, and other organic synthetic materials. Within the dye industry, it is used to manufacture indigo dyes. Chloroacetic acid also acts as a crucial carboxymethylating agent for preparing sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), and other compounds. Furthermore, it is employed as a flotation agent for non-ferrous metals and as a chromatographic analysis reagent.
1. Store in a sealed container in a cool, dry, dark place.
2. Chloroacetic acid is packaged in polypropylene woven bags lined with double-layer plastic bags. During transportation, prevent direct sunlight, moisture (rain exposure, etc.), and package damage. Store in a cool, well-ventilated, dry location away from ignition sources and heat. Keep separate from oxidizers, alkalis, and flammable materials. Shelf life is one year at room temperature; avoid prolonged storage during hot summer months.
