Sodium thioglycolate (CAS 367-51-1) is the sodium salt of thioglycolic acid, primarily produced via neutralization of thioglycolic acid with sodium hydroxide. Its molecular formula is C2H3NaO2S. This water-soluble reducing agent acts as a depilatory and hair softening agent in industrial formulations.
Store in tightly closed containers at cool, dry temperatures away from oxidizers. Avoid skin contact and inhalation due to corrosive properties. Not intended for direct clinical injection without specific pharmaceutical-grade processing.
