MONOCHLORACETIC ACID Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Monochloroacetic acid, often abbreviated as MCA and identified by the formula C2H3ClO2, is an organochlorine compound widely used as an intermediate in chemical manufacturing. It is commonly used in the production of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), herbicides, pharmaceuticals, dyes, and specialty chemical products. In industrial equipment handling monochloroacetic acid, compatibility with O-rings, rubber seals, gaskets, and plastic components should be evaluated to prevent degradation or loss of sealing performance. Proper storage, ventilation, safe handling procedures, and appropriate PPE are recommended to ensure safe operation.
