Sodium persulfate

Product Name: Sodium Persulfate (Sodium Peroxydisulfate)

Chemical Formula: Na₂S₂O₈

Key Features: White crystalline powder, strong oxidizing agent, high solubility in water, stable at room temperature, free-flowing.

Main Applications by Industry:

• Electronics & PCB Manufacturing: Used for copper etching, printed circuit board (PCB) microetching, and cleaning of electronic components.

• Polymer Industry: Acts as an initiator for emulsion polymerization in the production of acrylics, styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).

• Water & Wastewater Treatment: Used for oxidation of organic contaminants, cyanide destruction, and hydrogen sulfide control in industrial effluents.

• Cosmetics & Personal Care: As a bleaching agent in hair color removers and as a booster for hair bleach formulations.

• Textile Industry: Applied for desizing agents, whitening, and color stripping in fabric processing.

• Oil & Gas: Used as a breaker fluid in hydraulic fracturing to reduce polymer viscosity and improve well productivity.

• Pulp & Paper: Used for repulping wet-strength paper, de-inking of recycled fibers, and bleaching pulp.

• Soil & Groundwater Remediation: As a source of sulfate-free radicals for in-situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) of contaminants like BTEX, TCE, and PFOA.

• Household & Industrial Cleaning: Found in cleaning boosters and as a bleaching agent in certain laundry products.

• Photography: Used in fixing solutions and as a rapid reducer.

Handling & Safety:
Strong oxidizer; may cause fire when in contact with combustible materials. Irritating to skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. Use gloves, goggles, and protective clothing. Keep away from reducing agents, organic materials, and moisture. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area.
