China and India are the leading exporters of Glyceryl monothioglycolate (CAS 30618-84-9), accounting for the majority of global export volume in recent years, while the United States, Germany, and South Korea represent the largest importing markets. Import volumes in North America and Western Europe have remained relatively stable since 2022, with modest upward pressure on Glyceryl monothioglycolate prices observed amid tightening supply from key Asian producers.
Glyceryl monothioglycolate (CAS 30618-84-9) is a colorless to pale yellow, viscous liquid with a faint sulfurous odor; it is non-volatile and has a high boiling point, typically decomposing before reaching a definitive boiling point. It is classified as an organic thiol ester and functions primarily as a specialty chemical intermediate. Its principal industrial use is in the synthesis of thioglycolic acid derivatives and as a crosslinking agent or modifying monomer in polymer chemistry. It finds application in the production of hair-waving agents, UV-curable resins, and functionalized polymeric materials for coatings and adhesives.
Glyceryl monothio-glycolate is a component in "acid" permanent waving formulations, mainly for use in hairdressing salons.
