Ammonium per sulfate is a powerful oxidizing agent primarily used as a polymerization initiator. It is essential for the production of acrylic resins and synthetic rubber compounds.
In the textile industry, it serves as a high-performance desizing agent and bleach booster. Its strong oxidation potential allows for the rapid removal of starch and impurities from fibers.
This chemical is also widely used in electronics manufacturing for etching printed circuit boards (PCBs). It ensures high precision and clean surfaces during the metal removal process.
SoleChem, an ISO 9001:2015 certified chemical supplier based in Türkiye, delivers Ammonium Per Sulfate (CAS 7727-54-0) to customers in more than 40 countries.
