Ammonium peroxydisulfate, ACS, 98.0% min
Description
Ammonium peroxydisulfate is used as an oxidizer, a bleaching agent, in the field of photography, to make aniline dyes, electroplating and in analytical chemistry for determination of manganese.Ammonium peroxydisulfate is widely utilized as an oxidizing agent and radical initiators in the polymerization of certain alkenes. It is actively involved in in the synthesis of commercially important polymers like styrene-butadiene rubber and polytetrafluoroethylene. It combines with tetramethylethylenediamine to catalyze the polymerization of acrylamide. Due to its oxidizing properties, it can be employed to etch copper on printed circuit boards which is an alternative to ferric chloride solution. Also, it acts as oxidants in organic synthesis.
