정의
The sodium salt of thioglycolic acid.
일반 설명
White powder with a slight odor. Used in cold-waving of hair and as a dipilatory.
공기와 물의 반응
Hygroscopic. Discolors on exposure to air. Water soluble.
반응 프로필
Sodium thioglycolate is hygroscopic and sensitive to air. Discolors if exposed to iron . May generate flammable and toxic hydrogen sulfide with strong reducing agents.
위험도
Yields toxic hydrogen sulfide on decompo-
sition, may be toxic by skin absorption.
화재위험
Flash point data for Sodium thioglycolate are not available. Sodium thioglycolate is probably combustible.
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.
Purification Methods
It crystallises from 60% EtOH (charcoal). It is hygroscopic.[Beilstein 3 IV 600.]
