Physical & Chemical Properties

Physical description & handling notes

• White solid; [HSDB] Faintly beige powder; [MSDSonline]
• White, crystalline powder
• Prismatic rod crystals. Odorless or faint mercaptan odor; somewhat astringent and fetid taste. Slowly loses H2O above 95 °C, darkens at 220 °C and partially fuses with decompn at 280-290 °C. Sol in water; very slightly sol in alcohol, chloroform; practically insol in ether, petr ether, benzene. Solns readily absorb CO2 from air, percipitating CaCO3. /Trihydrate/
• STABLE /TRIHYDRATE/
• White powder. Loses water at 100 °C. Decomposes at 250 °C. Slightly soluble in ether; insoluble in alcohol. /Trihydrate/
• THE MININUM ACTIVE CONCN OF THIOGLYCOLIC ACID & CALCIUM THIOGLYCOLATE IN DEPILATORIES IS 5% & 7% RESPECTIVELY, & THE OPTIMUM PH IS 11.8-12.
