Thiocare® C102L 46% is a clear, nearly colourless to a red-violet solution with a characteristic odour, consisting of appr. 46 %w/w Sodium Thioglycolate and appr. 54 %w/w water. Thiocare® C102L 46% is used mainly as a cleaner. On one side the reducing properties of the Thioglycolid Acid or the Thioglycolate and on the other hand the capability to form metal-thioglycolate complexes, especially with iron are responsible for the excellent performance in the cleaning of metal surfaces and other applications.
