Thioglycolic acid (TGA) is the organic compound HSCH2CO2H. TGA is often called mercaptoacetic acid (MAA). It contains both thiol (mercaptan) and carboxylic acid functional groups. It is a colorless liquid with a strong unpleasant odor. TGA is miscible with polar organic solvents.
TGA is used as a chemical depilatory and is still used as such, especially in salt forms, including calcium thioglycolate and sodium thioglycolate. TGA is the precursor to ammonium thioglycolate that is used for permanents. TGA and its derivatives break the disulfide bonds in the cortex of the hair. One reform these broken bonds in giving hair a "perm." Alternatively and more commonly, the process leads to depilation as is done commonly in leather processing. It is also used as an acidity indicator, manufacturing of thioglycolates, and in bacteriology for preparation of thioglycolate media. In fact, this glycolysis reaction is used on condensed tannins to study their structure.
Organotin derivatives of thioglycolic acid isooctyl esters are widely used as stabilizers for PVC. These species have the formula R2Sn(SCH2CO2C8H17)2.
Applying TGA can soften nails and then fix pincer nails in the correct position.
Sodium thioglycolate is a component of a special bacterial growth media: thioglycolate broth. It is also used in so-called "fallout remover" or "wheel cleaner" to remove iron oxide residue from rims. Ferrous iron combines with thioglycolate to form red-violet ferric thioglycolate.
