Product Description:
Thioglycolic acid is widely used in the cosmetics industry, particularly in hair care products. It serves as a key ingredient in hair perm solutions and depilatory creams. In hair perming, it breaks the disulfide bonds in keratin, allowing hair to be reshaped into curls or waves. For depilatory products, it weakens the keratin structure in hair, making it easy to remove from the skin.
In the chemical and manufacturing sectors, thioglycolic acid is utilized as a reducing agent and stabilizer in various processes. It is also employed in the production of PVC stabilizers, which enhance the thermal stability of PVC materials during processing and use.
Additionally, it finds application in the textile industry as a reducing agent in dyeing processes, helping to improve color fastness and uniformity. Its versatility and effectiveness make it a valuable compound across multiple industries.
