Our Product Portfolio

We have gained expertise in Chlorination chemistry through rich experience of manufacturing. Today we can provide high quality multifunctional Acid Chlorides that serve the purpose of various renowned entities belonging to Pharmaceutical, Agro Chemical, Peroxide & Fragrance industry.

As a result of our unremitting efforts towards developing new products, we have become the largest company based in India that manufactures the extensive range of Acid Chloride. Apart from Acid Chloride, we have also commenced manufacturing Fatty Acid Chlorides and Alkyl Chlorides.

Introduction to Acid Chloride

In organic chemistry, an Acyl Chloride (or Acid Chloride) is an organic compound which is a reactive derivative of a carboxylic acid. As part of its molecular structure, an Acid Chloride has the reactive functional group -CO-Cl and has the general formula RCOCl, where R is an organic radical group.

Acid Chlorides are a subset of Acid Halides and undergo many of the same chemical reactions. A specific example of an Acid Chloride is Acetyl Chloride, CH3COCl.

Acid Chlorides tend to be liquids, which may react with atmospheric moisture to give fumes in air. Lacking the ability to form hydrogen bonds, they have lower boiling points than similar carboxylic acids (e.g. acetic acid, b.p. 118 °C; acetyl chloride, b.p. 51 °C).

Introduction to Fatty Acid Chloride

Fatty Acid Chlorides are manufactured by chlorinating fatty acids derived from vegetable fats. Shiva Pharmachem produces various fatty acid chlorides whose carbon numbers range from C6 to C18. These products are used as raw materials for pharmaceutical drugs and synthetic intermediates.

Introduction to Alkyl Chloride

Shiva Pharmachem is producing alkyl chlorides using various fatty alcohols derived from vegetable oils as raw materials. Alkyl Chlorides are used as starting materials for photographic chemicals and pharmaceutical intermediates.
