Methyl Thioglycolate is an organic chemical compound with a wide range of applications across multiple industrial sectors. It is widely used as an ingredient in hair removal creams, lotions, and solutions due to its ability to break down disulfide bonds in hair. It also serves as an important intermediate in the synthesized anti-inflammatory drugs like aspirin and ibuprofen. It is also used as a nucleophile in various chemical processes, such as thioglycolysis reactions, and as a sulfur transfer agent for sulfonyl chloride synthesis. It also finds its application as an intermediate in the production of various agrochemicals.
The versatility of the compound and its demand as a crucial intermediate in chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing drives the market for Methyl Thioglycolate. Its usage as an intermediate in the preparation of various drugs due to its antibacterial properties largely promotes its demand in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Its application as a chemical intermediate in the production of MTG derivatives and several agricultural chemicals also contributes to its demand in the chemical and agrochemical industries.
Its utilization as a depilatory agent in hair removal products further boosts its demand in the cosmetics and personal care industries. Industrial Methyl Thioglycolate procurement is directly affected by variations in the cost and availability of raw materials, such as thioglycolic acid and methanol, which further impact its production. Compliance with regulations and safety standards associated with its application in skin care products further impacts methyl thioglycolate production cost and its procurement strategies.
Raw Material for Methyl Thioglycolate Production
According to the Methyl Thioglycolate manufacturing plant project report, the major raw materials for Methyl Thioglycolate production include Thioglycolic Acid-Methanol.
Manufacturing Process of Methyl Thioglycolate
The extensive Methyl Thioglycolate production cost report consists of the following industrial manufacturing process:
- Production from Thioglycolic Acid: In this method, thioglycolic acid and methanol are used as the main starting materials for the synthesis of methyl thioglycolate as the product. The synthesis begins with the chemical reaction of thioglycolic acid (70-96% pure) and methanol (95-99.9% pure) (industrial grade anhydrous) in a reaction vessel. Further, an activating agent is added to the mixture, which is stirred and heated to initiate and maintain the reaction. Once the reaction is complete, the resulting product is subjected to separatory distillation to isolate and purify the desired methyl thioglycolate.
Methyl thioglycolate is a colorless to almost colorless clear liquid with an unpleasant odor similar to allicin. The compound is also known as methyl mercaptoacetate. This organic compound has a molecular formula of C3H6O2S and a molecular weight of 106.14 g/mol. It has a density of 1.187 g/mL at 25°C. The melting point of the compound is -24°C and its boiling point is around 42-43°C at 10 mmHg. Methyl thioglycolate is soluble in water with a solubility of 40 g/L at 20°C. The flash point of the compound is 51°C. It is a thioglycolate ester with a methoxy group and is both air and moisture-sensitive. This compound is flammable and stable under normal conditions but should be stored under inert gas below 30°C in a cool, dark place. However, it is toxic if swallowed and can cause skin and eye irritation, requiring careful handling in industrial applications.
