China and India are the leading exporters of Trichloroacetic acid (CAS 76-03-9), accounting for the largest share of global shipments in recent years, while the United States, Germany, and South Korea remain the top importers. Imports into the U.S. and EU have remained relatively stable since 2022, with modest growth in demand from pharmaceutical and analytical reagent sectors influencing Trichloroacetic acid prices.
Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) is a white crystalline solid at room temperature, with a sharp, pungent odor and high hygroscopicity; it melts at approximately 57 °C and decomposes before boiling. It is a chlorinated aliphatic carboxylic acid and strong organic acid, commonly used as a reactive intermediate in chemical synthesis. Its primary industrial applications include the production of pharmaceuticals (e.g., antifungal agents and herbicidal analogs), agrochemicals (notably certain selective herbicides), and dyes. TCA is also employed in the synthesis of chlorinated solvents and as a reagent in analytical and biochemical laboratories for protein precipitation and tissue fixation.
Traditionally used to precipitate protein. Has been used to determine protein concentration by quantitative precipitation. Used as decalcifier and fixative, as a laboratory reagent, a herbicide, in medicine, and in microscopy.
Trichloroacetic acid is a colorless crystalline solid which is used in liquid solutions.
