Thioglycolic Acid (Tga)

Thioglycolic  acid, also known as thioglycolic  acid, ethyl thioglycolic  acid, hydrogen thioglycolic  acid, is a sulfur-containing organic compound, colorless transparent liquid, has a strong pungent odor. Thioglycolic  acid and water miscible, can be miscible in ethanol, ether, soluble in common solvents; It is mainly used in the production of epoxy resin, and is the catalyst of bisphenol A, the main raw material of cold ironing essence of daily cosmetics and hair removal agent.

Thioglycolic acid is widely used in the fields of PVC stabilizers, down-hole acidizing, corrosion inhibition in the oil field industry, manufacturing of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and dyes, shrink-resistant treatment of wool, fabric dying, leather processing.

It is an intermediate in the production of thiomethoprol (captoril), biotin, thiozinc acid, sodium dithiosuccinate and other pharmaceutical products, and is also an intermediate in the synthesis of cysteine, hormonal agent, industrial disinfectant and synthetic An important raw material for sulfuric acid.

The factories we cooperate with have large shipments of Diethanolamine, rapid delivery and fresh production dates. This can help some suppliers and buyers to buy high-quality Diethanolamine with fresh production date from us. We will not sell products near the expiration date to customers like others, because transportation takes time, so our delivery cycle is usually arranged in 10-15 days, and orders under 10 tons will be shipped within 10 days.

Thioglycolic acid is mainly used as curling agent, depilatory agent, low-toxic or non-toxic stabilizer of polyvinyl chloride, initiator, accelerator and chain transfer agent of polymerization reaction, and metal surface treatment agent. In addition, thiochemicalbook acetic acid is a sensitive reagent for the determination of iron, molybdenum, aluminum, tin, etc.; it can also be used as a crystallization nucleating agent during polypropylene processing and molding, as well as a modifier for coatings, fibers, and a speed-conditioning agent for carpets.

TGA is used as a chemical depilatory and is still used as such, especially in salt forms, including calcium thioglycolate and sodium thioglycolate. TGA is the precursor to ammonium thioglycolate that is used for permanents. TGA and its derivatives break the disulfide bonds in the cortex of hair. One reforms these broken bonds in giving hair a "perm." Alternatively and more commonly, the process leads to depilation as is done commonly in leather processing. It is also used as an acidity indicator, manufacturing of thioglycolates, and in bacteriology for preparation of thioglycolate media. In fact thioglycolysis reactions used on condensed tannins to study their structure.
