Ammonium Persulfate has the appearance of a white crystalline solid. It is highly soluble in water. Chemical Applications and Strengths Ammonium Persulfate is an extremely useful chemical compound and therefore, has many industrial applications. Its main applications and strengths are: Ammonium Persulfate is most commonly used as an oxidising agent and a source of radicals. It is a strong oxidising agent that is used in polymer chemistry as an etchant. It is used as a cleaning and bleaching agent. It is used as a radical initiator in the polymerisation of specific alkenes. Important polymers prepared with this include styrene butadiene rubber and polytetrafluoroethylene. Because of its strong oxidising properties it is used to etch copper on printed circuit boards as a ferric chloride solution alternative.
