Ammonium persulfate(persulphate)

Key Attributes.

Name : Ammonium persulfate Molecular formula: (NH4)2S2O8 Molecular weight: 228.20 Characteristics: Ammonium persulfate is a white, crystalline, odourless salt. It is used as initiator for the polymerization of monomers and as a strong oxidizing agent in many application. It has the particular advantage of being almost nonhygroscopic, of having a particularly good storage of stability as a result of its extremely high purity and of being easy and safe to handle. Specification: Assay 98.5%MIN Active oxygen 6.91% MIN Residue after ignition0.02% MAX Chloride and chlorate 0.001% MAX Heavy metals 0.0005%MAX Iron 0.0005% MAX Manganese 0.00005% MAX Moisture 0.10% MAX Application: APS is a suitable initiator for the emulsion or solution polymerization of acrylic monomer, vinyl acetate, vinyl acetate, vinyl chloride etc. and for the emulsion copolymerisation of styrene, acrylonitrile, butadiene etc.. Aps is also a kind of oxidizing agent: (1) Used in cleaning and picking of metal surface.
