Description
Gandi Chemical Solutions supplies Sodium Thioglycolate / Sodium Mercaptoacetate ≥40% (CAS 367-51-1) to manufacturers, water treatment plants and industrial processors. At minimum 40% this is the concentrated solution, specified for continuous dosing where both the dissolving step and the dust of handling a solid are worth removing. Enquiries for Sodium Thioglycolate 40% are quoted against this listing. Priced by quotation, with a current safety data sheet on every consignment.
Sodium thioglycolate is a mercaptan-based reducing agent that breaks disulfide bonds in keratin, making it the active ingredient in hair-straightening/perming products and chemical hair-removal (depilatory) creams. It has a strong sulfurous odor and is corrosive/irritating in concentrate, so it should be handled with gloves and eye protection and stored sealed.
Where sodium thioglycolate 40% is used
- Reducing agent in industrial process chemistry
- Cosmetic depilatory and hair treatment formulation at controlled dilution
- Oxygen scavenging and metal ion control
- Intermediate in organosulphur and stabiliser manufacture
Key features
- CAS 367-51-1, C2H3NaO2S.
- Also ordered as Sodium Thioglycolate, Sodium mercaptoacetate, Mercaptoacetic acid sodium salt.
- Packed to your requirement at minimum 40%.
Specification and grade
Sodium thioglycolate solution at minimum 40%, CAS 367-51-1, formula C₂H₃NaO₂S — the concentrated solution grade. It removes the dissolving step and the solid-handling dust while still carrying most of its mass as active material, which makes it the usual choice for continuous dosing.
Handling and storage
Harmful if swallowed, skin and eye irritant, and it releases hydrogen sulphide on contact with acid. Solutions oxidise in air, so keep tanks closed and blanketed and turn stock over. Store cool and sealed, segregated from acids and oxidisers, in a ventilated area. Solutions attack copper and its alloys.
Packaging and supply
Packed to your requirement at minimum 40%. Tell us your dosing arrangement and consumption rate — thioglycolate solutions lose activity in an oversized, open day tank faster than most buyers expect.

Common questions
40% or 20% solution?
40% carries twice the active per litre, so freight and storage volume are lower, and it suits higher consumption. 20% is easier to dose accurately at low rates and is less aggressive to handle. Match the strength to your metering pump's turndown.
How quickly does the solution lose strength?
Faster than most people plan for, because thiols oxidise on air contact. A covered, blanketed tank sized for a few days of use holds well; an open day tank sized for a month does not. Assay if in doubt.
Which materials should be avoided?
Copper, brass and bronze — thioglycolate attacks them. Use stainless steel, HDPE or PP for tanks, lines and pump heads.
