Evonik’s sodium, ammonium and potassium persulfates are strong oxidants that have proven to be economical and boast an excellent shelf life. These qualities make our persulfates the perfect ingredient for things that unfortunately, regularly need repeating — like at-home hair dyes and bleaches.
At Evonik, we strive to consistently supply high quality, stable chemistries for hair colorant and bleach production. And your locks will agree, consistency in hair color make the rinsing phase of a new hair product a little less dramatic.
Sodium persulfate acts as a polymerization initiator in polymer chemistry, as an etchant and cleaner in the manufacturing of printed circuit boards, as a booster in hair bleaching formulations in cosmetics.
Potassium persulfate is used as an initiator for emulsion polymerization reactions, in the preparation of acrylic, vinyl, styrene, neoprene, styrene-butadiene and other resins. It is also used in depolymerization in modification of starch, as a booster in hair bleaching formulations in cosmetics and as a gel breaker in the oil and gas industry.
