  • Applications

    Mercaptoacetic acid, strontium salt (CAS 38337-95-0) is used as a metal-chelating agent in detergents, cleaners, and textile-processing formulations to sequester metal ions and improve formulation stability; its thiol group also enables it to function as a reducing agent in certain cosmetic hair-treatment formulations (perm solutions and relaxers); it serves as a synthetic intermediate and thiol-containing ligand source for metal complexes in catalysis, polymer chemistry, and coatings; it may be employed as a processing aid or stabilizer in plastics and coatings to enhance thermal stability and control metal-related reactions; it can also act as a building block for chelating ligands and specialty chemical syntheses.
