Potassium persulfate

Description:
Potassium persulfate, with the chemical formula K2S2O8 and CAS number 7727-21-1, is an inorganic compound that appears as a white crystalline solid. It is a strong oxidizing agent, commonly used in various applications, including as a radical initiator in polymerization processes and as a bleaching agent in the textile and paper industries. Potassium persulfate is highly soluble in water, producing a solution that can generate sulfate radicals, which are effective in initiating chemical reactions. It is stable under normal conditions but can decompose when exposed to heat or certain catalysts, releasing oxygen and potentially causing explosive reactions if not handled properly. The compound is generally considered safe when used according to guidelines, but it can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are recommended when handling potassium persulfate to mitigate any risks associated with its oxidizing properties.
