Description :

Overview of Potassium Persulfate

Potassium Persulfate is a strong inorganic oxidising agent widely used in polymerisation, electronics, water treatment, textiles, and speciality industrial chemical processing. Chemically, the potassium persulfate formula is K₂S₂O₈, consisting of potassium ions and the persulfate anion. Its high oxidation potential makes it especially effective as a radical initiator and surface treatment agent.

In appearance, Potassium Persulfate is a white crystalline powder that is odourless and stable under dry storage conditions. It is soluble in water and decomposes upon heating to release active oxygen species. Due to these properties, it is preferred in controlled industrial reactions where strong yet predictable oxidation is required.
