Thioglycolic acid(TGA) is the organic compoundHSCH2CO2H. TGA is often called mercaptoacetic acid (MAA). It contains both a thiol(mercaptan)and carboxylic acidfunctional groups. It is a colorless liquid with a strongly unpleasant odor. TGA is miscible with polar organic solvents.
TGA is used as a chemical depilatoryand is still used as such, especially in salt forms, including calcium thioglycolate and sodium thioglycolate. TGA is the precursor to ammonium thioglicolat that is used for permanents. TGA and its derivatives break the disulfidebonds in the cortex of hair. One reforms these broken bonds in giving hair a "perm." Alternatively and more commonly, the process leads to depilationas 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 thioglycolysis reactions used on condensed tanninsto study their structure.
Organotin derivatives of thioglycolic acid isooctyl esters are widely used as stabilizers for PVC.
