Potassium persulfate (K₂S₂O₈) is a high-performance strong oxidizing agent within the persulfate family. This high-purity (99%) white crystalline powder or granules offers superior aqueous solution stability compared to its ammonium counterpart. It efficiently decomposes under heat or specific conditions to generate highly reactive sulfate radicals (SO₄⁻*), making it indispensable for polymer synthesis, electronics manufacturing, textile bleaching, and environmental remediation.
Core Applications & Technical Advantages
Polymer Industry Initiator
Essential water-soluble initiator for emulsion and solution polymerization
Efficiently initiates free-radical polymerization of acrylates, styrene, acrylonitrile, and vinyl acetate
Core raw material for acrylic emulsions, styrene-acrylic emulsions, styrene-butadiene latex, and polyacrylamide flocculants
Potassium salt formulation eliminates odor and nitrogen interference issues
