Potassium persulfate is the inorganic compound with the formula K2S2O8. Also known as potassium peroxydisulfate or KPS, it is a white solid that is highly soluble in water. This salt is a powerful oxidant, commonly used to initiate polymerizations.
Application
Potassium persulfate being a strong oxidant, has been very nicely employed used to initiate polymerization reactions, which can indeed found application in the polymer making industries for the synthesis of important polymers, beneficial in medicinal chemistry, or for commercial use.
