Product Description
Potassium Thioglycolate is a technical-grade organic acid that is highly soluble in water. With a purity level of 99%, this product is ideal for industrial use. It is commonly used in hair removal creams and lotions due to its ability to break down keratin, a protein found in hair. This chemical works by disrupting the disulfide bonds in keratin, which weakens the hair and allows it to be easily removed. This makes it a popular ingredient in depilatory products for both men and women. Potassium Thioglycolate is also used in the production of photographic film and as a reducing agent in chemical processes. Its high solubility in water makes it easy to handle and use in a variety of applications.
