Description

Application
Thioglycolic acid is widely used as a reducing agent in cosmetics pharmaceutical manufacturing analytical chemistry and the production of specialty chemicals.

Purpose
Its purpose is to break disulfide bonds reduce metal ions and serve as a chemical intermediate making it useful in hair treatment products chemical synthesis and laboratory applications.

General Description
Thioglycolic acid (also known as mercaptoacetic acid) is an organosulfur compound that contains both a thiol (-SH) and a carboxylic acid (-COOH) functional group giving it strong reducing and metal-chelating properties.
