About this product

Cocoyl Chloride is supplied to surfactant manufacturers. It is produced by acid chlorination of the corresponding carboxylic acid with thionyl chloride, which Transpek manufactures on site. Because we are backward integrated into thionyl chloride, quality and supply continuity for this product sit within our own control rather than a supplier’s.

Downstream use

Customers use this intermediate in the synthesis of the molecules listed above. If you are working towards one of them — or a structurally related target — our technical team can advise on route, stoichiometry and handling.

Ordering and documentation
