Product Overview
Sodium persulfate BAKER™ is a highly effective, water-soluble oxidizing agent widely recognized for its stability and purity in laboratory settings. This fine, white crystalline powder serves as a powerful initiator for polymerization reactions, particularly in the production of acrylics, vinyls, and other synthetic polymers. Its strong oxidative properties also make it indispensable in printed circuit board (PCB) etching processes, where precision and consistency are critical. Unlike organic peroxides, Sodium Persulfate BAKER™ decomposes into non-toxic byproducts (sodium sulfate and oxygen), ensuring safer handling and disposal in controlled environments. The laboratory-grade formulation guarantees minimal impurities, reducing the risk of side reactions that could compromise experimental integrity. With a shelf life of up to 24 months when stored under recommended conditions, this reagent offers long-term reliability for repetitive or large-scale applications. Its compatibility with a broad pH range (2–12) further enhances its versatility across diverse chemical processes. Whether used as a standalone oxidant or in combination with catalysts like silver or iron salts, Sodium Persulfate BAKER™ delivers reproducible results, making it a staple in analytical, industrial, and research laboratories.
FAQs
1. What is the solubility of Sodium Persulfate BAKER™ in water?
Sodium persulfate is highly soluble in water, with a solubility of approximately 550 g/L at 20°C, forming a clear, colorless solution.
2. Can this product be used with reducing agents in the same reaction?
No, Sodium Persulfate BAKER™ is a strong oxidizer and will react violently with reducing agents, leading to rapid decomposition and potential hazards.
3. What precautions should be taken during storage to maintain stability?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, moisture, and incompatible substances like organic materials or metals. Keep the container tightly sealed.
4. Is Sodium Persulfate BAKER™ compatible with glassware and standard lab equipment?
Yes, it is compatible with borosilicate glass and most lab-grade plastics like PP or HDPE, but avoid prolonged contact with metals to prevent corrosion.
5. How does the purity of this grade compare to technical-grade sodium persulfate?
This laboratory-grade product undergoes stricter purification processes, resulting in lower heavy metal and insoluble impurity content compared to technical-grade variants.
