Product Overview
Ammonium Persulphate 98% AR/ACS is a high-purity, water-soluble crystalline powder widely used as a powerful oxidizing agent in laboratories. With a minimum assay of 98%, it meets stringent AR (Analytical Reagent) and ACS (American Chemical Society) standards, ensuring reliability for critical applications. This compound decomposes upon heating, releasing oxygen, making it effective for polymerization reactions, particularly in acrylate and vinyl systems. Its stability under controlled conditions and compatibility with aqueous solutions enhance its utility in etching processes, such as printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing. The AR/ACS grade guarantees minimal impurities, reducing the risk of side reactions in sensitive procedures. Store in a cool, dry place, away from organic materials and reducing agents, to maintain its potency. Ideal for researchers and professionals requiring consistent, high-performance oxidizers, this product delivers precision and reproducibility in experimental setups.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of Ammonium Persulphate 98% AR/ACS?
When stored in a sealed container under recommended conditions, it retains stability for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture.
2. Can this be used as a substitute for potassium persulphate?
Yes, it can replace potassium persulphate in most applications, though reaction rates may vary due to differences in solubility and dissociation.
3. Is this product compatible with non-aqueous solvents?
It is primarily soluble in water. For non-aqueous systems, pre-dissolution in water or compatibility testing is advised.
4. How should spills of Ammonium Persulphate be handled?
Sweep up carefully, avoiding dust inhalation, and neutralize with a reducing agent like sodium bisulfite before disposal as per local regulations.
5. Does this product require special shipping conditions?
It is classified as an oxidizer (UN 1444) and must be shipped in compliance with hazardous material transportation guidelines.
