Product Overview & Quality

Product Name: Ammonium persulfate (Ammonium peroxydisulfate)
Brand: Kemaus (Product Code: KA-053)
Grade: Analytical Reagent (AR Grade) with a premium purity of 98 percent or higher. Rigorously manufactured under Kemaus strict laboratory quality standards to ensure exceptionally low trace levels of heavy metals, chlorides, and water-insoluble matter, providing maximum reliability for quantitative assays and molecular biochemistry.
Physical Properties: Odorless, white crystalline powder or colorless crystals.
Solubility: Highly soluble in water; yields a mildly acidic aqueous solution and releases minor thermal energy upon dissolution.
Key Use: Heavily utilized as a powerful polymerization initiator (commonly paired with TEMED) for preparing polyacrylamide gels (PAGE) used in protein and nucleic acid electrophoresis within molecular biology laboratories. Functions as a premium strong oxidizing agent in analytical chemical reactions, and applied as a specialized chemical etchant for metal and electronic circuit board processing in materials science research.

Safety & Hazards (Critical & Oxidizing)

Classification: May intensify fire; oxidizer (Oxidizing solid). Harmful if swallowed. Causes skin irritation. Causes serious eye irritation. May cause allergy or asthma symptoms or breathing difficulties if inhaled. May cause an allergic skin reaction.
Health Risks: Direct skin or eye contact triggers significant irritation, painful stinging, and chemical redness. Inhalation of fine airborne dust particles aggressively irritates the respiratory tract and may induce severe respiratory sensitization, asthma-like symptoms, or chronic dermal allergies.
First Aid Measures: Immediately flush affected eyes or skin with plenty of flowing water for at least 15 minutes. If inhaled, move the victim to fresh air immediately. Seek prompt medical evaluation if respiratory distress or localized irritation develops.

Handling & Storage

Storage: Oxidizing and Hygroscopic. It decomposes slowly in high ambient humidity and can accelerate the combustion of surrounding materials. Must be stored in its original, strictly dry, and tightly sealed Kemaus container inside a dedicated cool, dry, and well-ventilated chemical safety cabinet at stable room temperature (below 30 degrees Celsius). Keep completely away from flammable materials, organic compounds, strong reducing agents, metal powders, direct heat, and moisture.
Precautions: Comprehensive PPE is mandatory, including laboratory chemical gloves, protective safety goggles, and a fine particulate dust mask. Avoid generating dust clouds and prevent contamination from dirty tools during routine handling.
