Used in pesticide manufacturing and as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Used as an acidifying agent in starch adhesives. Also an intermediate in dyes, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, synthetic resins, and other organic synthetic materials. Used in the dye industry to produce indigo dye. Chloroacetic acid is also an important carboxymethylating agent, used in the preparation of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, etc., and is also used as a flotation agent for non-ferrous metals and a reagent for chromatographic analysis.
1. Store in a sealed, cool, dry place away from light. 2. Chloroacetic acid is packaged in a polypropylene woven bag lined with a double-layered plastic bag. During transportation, prevent direct sunlight, rain, moisture, and damage to the packaging. Store in a cool, well-ventilated, and dry place, away from fire and heat sources, and keep separate from oxidizers, alkalis, and flammable materials. Shelf life is one year at room temperature; long-term storage is not recommended in high summer temperatures.
