Sodium Monochloro Acetate (SMCA) Production Cost Reports

The Sodium Monochloro Acetate (SMCA) production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a Sodium Monochloro Acetate (SMCA) production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of Process Sodium Monochloro Acetate (SMCA). This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.

The report also provides detailed insights into project economics including capital investments, project funding, operating expenses, income and expenditure projections, fixed costs vs variable costs, direct and indirect costs, expected ROI and NPV, profit and loss account, financial analysis, etc.

Sodium mono-chloroacetate (SMCA) is a colourless, hygroscopic, and water-soluble sodium salt of monochloroacetic acid. It is a frequent intermediary in the synthesis of a variety of chemical substances, including carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), glycine, and herbicides. It is created by reacting mono-chloroacetic acid with sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate, yielding SMCA and water. The chemical is used in a variety of industrial applications, including surfactant, emulsifier, and thickening agent. It's also used to make medications, agrochemicals, and personal care items.

It is a white crystalline powder and is highly soluble in water and organic solvents such as methanol, ethanol, and acetone. The melting point of SMCA ranges from 185°C to 190°C and its density is approximately 1.58 g/cm3. It is odourless and colourless.

Sodium mono-chloroacetate (SMCA) is employed as an intermediary in the manufacture of a variety of chemical substances such as carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), glycine, and herbicides. The expansion of these businesses is likely to increase demand for SMCA. It is used in the manufacture of personal care products such as shampoos, soaps, and lotions as a thickening agent and surfactant.

The market for SMCA is likely to be driven by rising demand for these products, particularly in developing countries. Additionally, it is also utilised as an intermediate in the manufacturing of herbicides, which are commonly used to control weeds in agriculture. The growing need for food and the need for improved crop yields are likely to fuel the herbicide industry, and therefore SMCA.
