Production of potassium peroxodisulphate

Potassium sulphate serves as a raw material for the production of potassium peroxodisulphate via electrolysis.

Potassium peroxodisulphate is a commonly used initiator for polymerisation in emulsions or in solutions, such as in the production of polyacrylates, polyvinyl acetate and polyvinyl chloride, as well as in co-polymerisation in emulsion of acrylonitrile, butadiene, styrene and other monomers.
