Sodium Thioglycolate

About Sodium Thioglycolate

Sodium Thioglycolate is a white solid chemical compound which acts as a reducing agent and consist of a thioglycolate(1-). It is hygroscopic in nature and is harmful and irritant in nature and can be stored at a temperature of -20 degree Celsius. It is mostly used as reducing agent for anaerobic and microaerophilic bacterial growth. Sodium Thioglycolate can also be used as a dipilatory, irritant and chelating agent. It has a chemical formula of C2H3NaO2S with a molecular weight of 114.1grams per mol. This compound is corrosive and acutely toxic in nature which may cause skin burns and severe eye damage.Sodium Thioglycolate Key Features: Usage in cold hair waving Best functions as a depilatory and reducing agent Accepts 3 and donates 1 hydrogen bond Colorless with the blunt irritating smell Product Details: Product Name : Sodium Thioglycolate Chemical Names : SODIUM THIOGLYCOLATE; 367-51-1; Sodium mercaptoacetate; Mercaptoacetic acid sodium salt; Mollescal SF; Sodium 2-sulfanylacetate Molecular Formula : C2H3NaO2S Molecular Weight : 114.094 g/mol IUPAC Name : sodium;2-sulfanylacetate PubChem CID : 23690444 CAS No : 367-51-1 EC Number : 206-696-4 Monoisotopic Mass : 113.975 g/mol Exact Mass : 113.975 g/mol Physical Description : It is a white powder with a slight odor.
