Sodium Monochloroacetate Supplier Malaysia
- Also known as
- Sodium Chloroacetate
- Sodium Monochloro Acetate
- SMCA
- Chloroacetic Acid Sodium Salt
Sodium monochloroacetate, also called sodium chloroacetate or SMCA, is the sodium salt of monochloroacetic acid and an industrial carboxymethylation intermediate. Buyers seeking a sodium monochloroacetate supplier in Malaysia can enquire using the closed, spaced or shortened chemical name found on their specification.
Market forms include crystalline powder, granules and aqueous solution grades. Buyers commonly define the grade by assay and controls for free monochloroacetic acid, dichloroacetate, moisture and insolubles rather than by the product name alone.
Sodium monochloroacetate is used in carboxymethyl cellulose manufacture, betaine and amphoteric surfactant synthesis, thioglycolate production and selected dye, pigment, agrochemical and fine-chemical routes. The relevant form depends on whether the process is designed for solid charging or liquid dosing.
This product is not monochloroacetic acid, sodium acetate, sodium dichloroacetate or sodium trichloroacetate, and those identities should not be substituted on an enquiry. Send the required form, specification, quantity, delivery location and document needs for a grade-specific quotation.

Sodium Monochloroacetate applications
Common questions about sodium monochloroacetate
What is sodium monochloroacetate used to manufacture?
It is used in carboxymethyl cellulose, betaine and amphoteric surfactant chemistry, thioglycolate production, and selected dye, pigment, agrochemical and fine-chemical routes.
Is sodium monochloroacetate the same as monochloroacetic acid?
No. Sodium monochloroacetate is the sodium salt, while monochloroacetic acid is the free acid and must be treated as a separate product.
Is sodium chloroacetate the same as sodium acetate?
No. Sodium chloroacetate contains a chloro-substituted acetate group and has different chemistry and uses from sodium acetate.
Which grade details should a buyer specify?
State the required form, assay basis and any limits for free monochloroacetic acid, dichloroacetate, moisture or insolubles that matter to the process.
What information is needed for a quotation?
Provide the grade, specification, quantity, delivery location and required documents. Availability, packing and the document set are confirmed with the quotation.
