CMC
MCA is one of the major ingredients used in the manufacturing of CMC. CMC is used in a wide range of products including food, pharmaceuticals, oil field admixtures, cosmetics, and textiles. CMC is produced by reacting MCA with cellulose in an alkali-catalyzed reaction, followed by the addition of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to produce sodium salts. CMC can be produced in three grades.

The resultant mixture from the initial reaction called technical CMC is used mainly in the production of detergents. A more purified form which is obtained after the removal of salts is used in industries such as food, pharmaceutical, and oral health care. An intermediate form of CMC is used in the paper industry to restore old documents for archives.

Agrochemicals
In agrochemicals, MCA is mainly used as a chemical intermediate for the formulation of herbicides and pesticides. Chloroacetic acid and methyl chloroacetate are also used for producing insecticides, such as dimethoate, 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (MCPA), benazoline, and methyl b-naphthyloxyacetate. These are prepared by alkylation with chloroacetic acid and are some of the most widely used herbicides and pesticides, globally.

Surfactants

MCA is also used in the production of mild betaine amphoteric surfactants, for instance, N-alkyl betaine, which are used in cleaners and personal care products. Amphoteric surfactants are chemicals, which can form cation or anion from hermaphroditic ions. They are mainly formed through the alkylation of chloroacetic acid. Amphoteric surfactants have low toxicity, antibacterial properties, excellent resistance to hard water, and good compatibility with various kinds of surfactants. These are used in the personal care products, such as shampoos, shower gels, liquid soaps, and other cosmetics. These are also used in the production of liquid detergents used in applications such as dishwashing liquids, all-purpose cleaners, and car cleaners.
