Produktinformation

• Name: Mercaptoacetic acid sodium salt
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: Mercaptoacetic acid sodium salt (MAS) is an oxidation catalyst that is used to convert ethyl alcohol into acetic acid. It has been shown to be a good catalyst for the oxidation of hydroxyl groups in the presence of metal hydroxides or inorganic acids, such as sodium carbonate. MAS has also been shown to be toxic to human serum and is not recommended for use in humans. The toxicity of MAS may be due to its ability to react with fatty acids and form mercaptans, which are volatile compounds that can cause irritation. Mercaptoacetic acid sodium salt reacts with potassium dichromate and forms mercaptans and other products, which may contribute to its toxicity.
