Potassium thioglycolate

Description:

Potassium thioglycolate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula C2H5KO2S, commonly used in various applications, particularly in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. It appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder that is soluble in water, making it easy to incorporate into formulations. This compound is the potassium salt of thioglycolic acid and is known for its reducing properties, which allow it to break disulfide bonds in keratin, making it effective in hair treatments such as perming and straightening. Additionally, potassium thioglycolate has applications in depilatory products due to its ability to dissolve hair proteins. It is important to handle this substance with care, as it can be irritating to the skin and eyes. In terms of stability, it should be stored in a cool, dry place away from strong oxidizing agents. Overall, potassium thioglycolate is valued for its versatility and effectiveness in both cosmetic and industrial applications.

Mercaptoacetic acid potassium, 40 to 44% aqueous solution

CAS: 34452-51-2

Mercaptoacetic acid potassium is a conditioning agent that is used to promote the uniformity of the particle size and distribution of hydrophobic materials, such as fatty acids and films. Mercaptoacetic acid potassium can be used as a toxicity study for anti-fungal agents. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of yeast cells by binding to their cell wall. This chemical also binds with iron oxides and forms a skeleton that prevents the growth of bacteria. Mercaptoacetic acid potassium is soluble in water, but insoluble in organic solvents such as acetone or ether. The chemical can react with anhydrous hydrochloric acid to form mercaptoacetic acid hydrochloride, which is soluble in organic solvents.
