Salts or esters of thioglycolic acid:
Our thioglycolates
Thioglycolates are the salts or esters of thioglycolic acid. Apart from the carboxyl group they contain the functional SH group (thio group).
Used in cosmetics
Thioglycolates are above all used in cosmetics as wavy-hair products (chemical perms) or for depilation purposes.
Used in chemical synthesis
In addition, they are also used in chemical synthesis as reducing agents, e.g. to reduce carbonyl compounds and transform them into alcohols.

Sodium thioglycolate as an aqueous solution is used in leather and cleaning Industries.
In leather Industry, NaTG29 is used as an active ingredient to remove hair from hides and thus prepare the surface of the leather for tanning or dyeing.
In the cleaning Industry, NaTG45 or NaTG45+ as well is used to dissolve stubborn dirt and effectively clean surfaces or special materials. The start of the reaction indicates the cleaning effect, for example in wheel cleaners, by means of a violet color. So NaTG also serves as an indicator of effectiveness.

Thioglycolic Acid 70 %
Thioglycolic acid is a pure organic acid.
It has an acid and a mercaptan group as functional groups in the molecule.
Therefore, TGA serves as a reducing agent in an alkaline environment.
Their salts are used in the cosmetics industry as the main active ingredient for depilatory products as well as for permanent waves and hair straightening, and in the cleaning industry to dissolve resistant dirt.
TGA salts are also active ingredients in depilatory solutions in the leather industry.
Iron ions can be detected in the ppm range due to the intensive pink coloring of thioglycolic acid.
Thioglycolic acid and its esters are used in the production of pesticides as well as synthetic intermediates in manufacturing
of tin-organic stabilizers for PVC and used as chain transfer agents in radical emulsions.
