Thioglycolate Chemicals

Ammonium Thioglycolate

The ammonium salt of thioglycolic acid, used as a rust remover and marble-cleaning agent.

Completes our thioglycolate range, used as a rust remover and marble-cleaning agent where the ammonium salt suits the formulation better than the sodium or potassium form. The ammonium counter-ion is volatile, so it rinses away more cleanly than sodium or potassium after treatment, which matters on surfaces that will be sealed or polished afterwards. Supplied as an aqueous solution at the concentration your process needs.
