Chemical Structure

Basic Info
Ammonia Thioglycolate, a chemical that is used to straighten the hair. This chemical is less damaging to hair and scalp than other products and has a milder taste. Ammonium thioglycolate has the function of making hair follicles permeable, and breaking down disulfide bonding that causes hair to curl. The first step of the hot ion system is ammonium thioglycolate.
Ammonium thioglycolate must be removed by rinsing thoroughly. The next step after styling and straightening the hair is to apply hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide solution can generate new bonds in new hair. In general, the less bonds that are formed, the less curly hair strands you will have. Hair will become fragile if ammoniumthioglycolate is used too often.
Ammonium thioglycolate is a good alternative to sodium hydroxide and guanidine. Ammonium thioglycolate has a pH between 9 and 9.5 while sodium hydroxide can reach up to 14. Low-alkalinity chemicals will not harm the hair or scalp. It is necessary to condition the hair before using hydroxide products. Ammonium thioglycolate should not be used.
Ammonium Thioglycolate does not produce a strong smell when applied to hair. Disulfide chemicals, on the other hand have a pungent smell, while other relaxing chemicals may produce a strong pungent scent. Sulfides are produced by converting mercaptoacetates into chemicals that are non-volatile and non-odorous.

Product Packaging

The chemical formula of ammonium thioglycolate is HSCH 2COONH 4. It is an organic compound containing sulfur that finds use in many fields. Ammonium thioglycolate, with the chemical formula HSCH 2 COONH 4, is a common organic sulfur-containing compound that has a wide range of applications in various fields. Ammonium thioglycolate’s excellent reducibility allows it to break disulfide bond in hair and cause it to rearrange when heated or curled, creating a lasting styling effect. Ammonium thioglycolate is less irritating and has a milder odor than traditional sodium mercaptoacetate. It’s widely used in high end perm products.
Ammonium thioglycolate can also be used in the textile industry to treat protein fibers like wool and silk. This improves the softness of the fibers and their dyeing properties. Ammonium Thioglycolate Treatment breaks the disulfide bond on the surface of the fiber, increasing the hydrophilicity and permeability. This makes the dyeing vibrant and lasting.
Ammonium thioglycolate can be used as a reducing agent in industrial production and chemical experiments. It is also a metal ion-trapping agent. Ammonium thioglycolate can undergo complexation with metal ions like mercury, silver and lead due to its strong nucleophilicity. Ammonium thioglycolate can be used to clean and purify metal surfaces. Ammonium thioglycolate is used in the production of semiconductors and electronic materials to remove metal contamination.
Ammonium thioglycolate can be used in biomedical research as a reducing agent for proteins. Ammonium thioglycolate is used in experiments like protein structure analysis or preparation of reduced protein. It can break down disulfide bonding, keep the protein active and soluble, and help with subsequent research and analysis.
Due to its mild reaction conditions and excellent reducibility, ammonium thioglycolate is used in a variety of fields, including perms, beauty, textiles, electronics, biomedicine, and environmental protection.
