Understanding Cocoyl Chloride: Properties, Production, and Safety
NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is dedicated to providing comprehensive information on the chemicals we supply, including Cocoyl Chloride CAS 68187-89-3. Understanding its fundamental properties, production methods, and safety protocols is crucial for effective and secure utilization in various industrial processes.
Chemically, Cocoyl Chloride is classified as a mixed acid chloride. It's composed of a mixture of fatty acid chlorides, predominantly featuring carbon chains from C8 (octanoyl chloride) to C18 (octadecanoyl chloride), with a significant proportion of C12 (lauroyl chloride). This composition contributes to its versatility. Physically, it appears as a colorless to pale yellow transparent oily liquid. It possesses a distinct pungent odor and is notable for its high reactivity, particularly its tendency to decompose upon contact with water and alcohol. Its solubility in organic solvents like ether makes it amenable to various organic synthesis reactions.
The production of Cocoyl Chloride typically involves reacting coconut acid with chlorinating agents such as phosphorus trichloride, thionyl chloride, or phosgene. While various methods exist, the phosgene method is commonly employed due to its efficiency. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. ensures that the Cocoyl Chloride we supply adheres to high purity standards, often exceeding 98.0% content, with controlled levels of free chlorine.
Safety is paramount when handling Cocoyl Chloride due to its corrosive and irritating nature. Direct contact with skin or eyes can cause severe burns and irritation. Therefore, strict adherence to safety guidelines is mandatory. This includes wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and protective clothing. Operations should always be conducted in well-ventilated areas to prevent the buildup of volatile fumes, which can irritate the respiratory tract. In case of inhalation, immediate removal to fresh air is necessary. For skin or eye contact, thorough flushing with water followed by prompt medical attention is essential.
Storage and transportation also require careful consideration. Cocoyl Chloride should be stored in sealed containers in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from heat sources, direct sunlight, and incompatible substances like strong oxidizers. During transport, measures must be taken to prevent package damage and exposure to moisture. Emergency response equipment should always be readily available.
