Details

Trichloroacetic Acid , also known as TCA, is a monocarboxylic acid. Structurally, it is acetic acid in which all three hydrogens on the methyl group have been substituted with chlorine atoms. It is a water-soluble, colorless, crystalline solid.

Trichloroacetic Acid is used in the cosmetic industry as a chemical peel and wart remover. It is also used in biochemistry to help the precipitation of macromolecules.

Trichloroacetic Acid, 50% Solution contains 50% by weight of Trichloroacetic Acid mixed in 50% by volume of Deionized Water and appears as a colorless liquid. Chemically pure or Laboratory reagents are two terms often used to describe Lab Grade chemicals. Lab Grade chemicals do not meet any accepted quality or purity requirements such as the ACS Grade, the USP Grade, and the FCC Grade, despite their acceptable purity.

Peeling agent to remove wrinkles

Laboratory reagent in organic synthesis
