Applications
AMMONIUM PERSULFATE is a white crystalline solid. A strong oxidizing agent. Does not burn readily, but may cause spontaneous ignition of organic materials. Used as a bleaching agent and as a food preservative.
Ammonium persulfate is a standard ingredient in hair bleach.
Dosage and directions
The most important application for Ammonium Persulfate is in the water-based emulsion polymerisation of organic monomers in aqueous systems. The monomers are either sufficiently soluble in water and precipitate during polymerisation or polymerisation takes place in an aqueous emulsion of the monomers, as with styrene-butadiene and Acrylonitrile.
Other applications of Ammonium Persulphate (APS)
- In the cosmetics industry as a booster for hair bleaches and an oxidizer in hair dyes
- In the paper industry for re-pulping and de-inking
- In order to recover metals and metal salts, for oxidative treatment of high grade metal ores
- In the photographic industry for regenerating bleaching baths for color stock
- For the production of desinfectants
- In-situ decontamination of industrial areas: degradation of chlorinated hydrocarbons
- In Oil Drilling

The substance may be toxic to upper respiratory tract. Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage.
Eye Contact: Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Cold water may be used. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact : In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Cold water may be used.Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical attention.
Serious Skin Contact: Wash with a disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream. Seek immediate medical attention.
Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.
Serious Inhalation: Evacuate the victim to a safe area as soon as possible. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. WARNING: It may be hazardous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation when the inhaled material is toxic, infectious or
corrosive. Seek medical attention.
