Thioglycolic acid solution - Use
| use | Used as a chemical reagent |
| use | TGA has both the reaction characteristics of hydroxy acid and the reaction characteristics of sulfhydryl groups. The most important reaction is the reaction with disulfide. Especially under alkaline conditions, it reacts with cystine in the hair to cut off the (-S-S-) bond of cystine to generate cysteine that is easy to curl. Mainly used as a rolling agent, depilating agent, polyvinyl chloride low-toxic or non-toxic stabilizer, polymerization initiator, accelerator and chain transfer agent, metal surface treatment agent. In addition, thioglycolic acid is a sensitive reagent for the determination of iron, molybdenum, aluminum, tin, etc.; it can also be used as a crystallization nucleating agent for polypropylene processing and molding, as well as a modifier for coatings and fibers, and a blanket agent. |

Thioglycolic acid solution - Production method
It is obtained by the reaction of organic or inorganic sulfur compounds with sodium and potassium salts of monochloroacetic acid. For example, monochloroacetic acid reacts with sodium sulfide and sulfur to form dithiodiacetic acid, which is then reduced with zinc and acid; or thiocarbamate reacts with monochloroacetic acid, and its product is obtained by hydrolysis; monochloroacetic acid reacts with thiourea to generate isothiourea acetic acid, then barium hydroxide is used to convert the precipitation, and then sulfuric acid is acidified to make a thioglycolic acid.

| Application | thioglycolic acid (TGA) is mainly used as a raw material for blanket finishing agent and cold-stamping liquid. TGA has the reaction characteristics of hydroxy acid, the reaction is characterized by a thiol group, the most important of which is the reaction with the disulfide. In particular, under alkaline conditions, it reacts with cystine in the hair to cut off the (-S-S-) bond of cystine to generate cysteine which is easy to curl. It is mainly used as hair rolling agent, hair removal agent, polyvinyl chloride low toxicity or non-toxic stabilizer, polymerization initiator, accelerator and chain transfer agent, metal surface treatment agent. In addition, thioglycolic acid is a sensitive reagent for the determination of iron, molybdenum, aluminum, tin and the like; It can also be used as a crystal nucleating agent in the processing and molding of polypropylene, as well as a modifier for coatings and fibers, and as a blanket agent. It is an intermediate for the production of drugs such as methyl thiopropyl (captoli), biotin, thizinc acid, and sodium dithiosuccinate. It is also a synthetic cysteine, hormonal agent, industrial disinfectants and important raw materials for the synthesis of sulfuric acid. In addition to being used as an intermediate of Cefivitril, thioglycolic acid is also widely used as a hair rolling agent, depilatory agent, PVC low toxicity or non-toxic stabilizer, metal surface treatment agent and polymerization initiator, accelerators and chain transfer agents. sensitive reagents of iron, molybdenum, silver and tin. Its ammonium salt and sodium salt are used as hair-cutting agent, calcium salt is hair-removing agent |
