Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ Chloroacetic acid (CAA, monochloroacetic acid, MCAA) is a halogenated aliphatic carboxylic acid generally used as herbicide and preservative. Its mutagenic effects have been studied in Rattus norvegicus. The rate of degradation of MCA by photocatalysis using TiO2 at pH 3 is reported to be enhanced under the influence of ozone. It is an irritant that hydrolyzes proteins resulting in degradation of the cells. This property has been applied in treating plantar warts._x000D_ Application_x000D_ Chloroacetic acid may be used to synthesize the following:_x000D_ • Thiocarbamoylthioacetic acid derivatives._x000D_ • 4-Thiazolone derivatives._x000D_ • Triazinothiazolone derivatives._x000D_ • Water soluble carboxymethyl chitosan._x000D_ Packaging_x000D_ 1 kg in poly bottle_x000D_ 25 g in poly bottle
