Ammonium Persulphate is a strong oxidising agent
Ammonium Persulfate manufacturers, suppliers and exporters. Well known Bleaching agent for food starch Ammonium persulfate (NH4)2S2O8 is a strong oxidizing agent. It is very soluble in cold water, a large fall of temperature accompanying solution. It is a radical initiator. It is used to etch copper on printed circuit boards as an alternative to ferric chloride solution. It is also used along with tetramethylethylenediamine to catalyze the polymerization of acrylamide in making a polyacrylamide gel.
Application
AMMONIUM PERSULFATE is a white crystalline solid. A strong oxidizing agent. Does not burn readily, but may cause spontaneous ignition of organic materials. Used as a bleaching agent and as a food preservative.
Ammonium persulfate is a standard ingredient in hair bleach.
Dosage
The most important application for Ammonium Persulfate is in the water-based emulsion polymerisation of organic monomers in aqueous systems. The monomers are either sufficiently soluble in water and precipitate during polymerisation or polymerisation takes place in an aqueous emulsion of the monomers, as with styrene-butadiene and Acrylonitrile.
