29309070 | [Safety Profile]
Poison by intravenous and intraperitoneal routes. Moderately toxic by ingestion. A human skin irritant. This material yields hydrogen sulfide on decomposition. A death has been attributed to the absorption of toxic decomposition products from the use of this material in a hair permanent-waving solution. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of SOx and Na2O. See also SULFIDES and MERCAPTANS. | [Toxicity]

Hazard Information | Back Directory | [General Description]
White powder with a slight odor. Used in cold-waving of hair and as a dipilatory. | [Reactivity Profile]
THIOGLYCOLIC ACID, SODIUM SALT(367-51-1) is hygroscopic and sensitive to air. Discolors if exposed to iron . May generate flammable and toxic hydrogen sulfide with strong reducing agents. | [Air & Water Reactions]
Hygroscopic. Discolors on exposure to air. Water soluble. | [Hazard]
Yields toxic hydrogen sulfide on decompo-
sition, may be toxic by skin absorption.
| [Fire Hazard]
Flash point data for this chemical are not available. THIOGLYCOLIC ACID, SODIUM SALT is probably combustible. | [Chemical Properties]
White solid | [Uses]
dipilatory, irritant, chelating agent | [Uses]
In cold-waving of hair; as depilatory; in bacteriology for the preparation of thioglycolate media; as analytical reagent, see Thioglycolic Acid. | [Flammability and Explosibility]
Nonflammable | [Biochem/physiol Actions]
Sodium thioglycolate is a commonly used reagent for bacteriological research to maintain reducing conditions in media. Thioglycolate can also protect enzymes against inactivation by maintaining protein thiol groups in the reduced state. Thioglycolate medium is frequently used in inflammation research to elicit a neutrophil and macrophage response in vivo. | [Purification Methods]
It crystallises from 60% EtOH (charcoal). It is hygroscopic.[Beilstein 3 IV 600.] |
