Sodium glycolate Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

White to off-white powder

Uses

Sodium glycolate is used as a disintegrant, suspending agent, gelling agent, buffering agent and in pharmaceutical grade for tablets and capsules. Further, it is used in cosmetics and personal care products primarily as an exfoliant, as pH adjusters, skin-conditioning agents and as a flavoring agent.

Uses

Buffer in electrodeless plating and textile fin- ishing.

Definition

ChEBI: An organic sodium salt comprising equal numbers of sodium and glycolate ions.

Purification Methods

Precipitate it from aqueous solution by adding EtOH and dry it in air. Also recrystallise it from H2O, where its solubility is 38% at 0o and 61% at100o. [Beilstein 3 III 370, 3 IV 573.]
