Sodium Thioglycolate 40% / Sodium Mercaptoacetate ≥ 40%

Sodium Thioglycolate 40% High-Strength Depilatory & Perm Agent for Cosmetics & Industry

We supply concentrated sodium thioglycolate 40% solution at a guaranteed strength of ≥ 40%. This powerful reducing agent breaks disulfide bonds in keratin. Consequently, the personal care industry uses it as the active ingredient in hair relaxers, cold wave perms, and depilatory creams. Moreover, industrial applications utilize it as a key reagent in chemical synthesis and as a stabilizer in polymer production.

Core Industrial Applications and Uses

This versatile Sodium Thioglycolate 40% serves critical roles in both consumer products and industrial manufacturing. Its unique reactivity makes it indispensable in specific, high-value processes.

First, the cosmetics and personal care industry relies on sodium thioglycolate 40% for hair restructuring and removal. Specifically, it enables the permanent waving of hair by breaking and reforming bonds to create curls. Similarly, depilatory creams use it to degrade hair protein for smooth, pain-free hair removal.

Second, various industrial chemical processes employ it as a specialized reducing agent and stabilizer. For example, it acts as a chain transfer agent in PVC production to control molecular weight. Furthermore, analytical laboratories use it as a titrant for determining oxidizing agents, and it serves as an intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis.
