Description

Bis(Tetra-n-Butylammonium) Peroxydisulfate is a specialized quaternary ammonium salt of peroxydisulfate, offering unique solubility and reactivity profiles compared to common alkali metal peroxydisulfates. This compound serves as a powerful and versatile oxidizing agent and radical initiator in non-aqueous and phase-transfer catalytic systems. It is particularly valuable for researchers and manufacturers in the fields of polymer chemistry, organic synthesis, and advanced material science who require controlled oxidation or initiation in organic solvents.

Application

• Polymerization Initiator: Used as a radical initiator for the polymerization of vinyl monomers (e.g., styrene, acrylates) in organic media, enabling controlled molecular weight and polymer architecture.
• Organic Synthesis: Employed as a strong, soluble oxidizing agent for selective oxidation reactions in synthetic organic chemistry, including the conversion of alcohols to carbonyl compounds.
• Electrochemical Applications: Utilized in the preparation of conductive polymers and in electrochemical synthesis where its organic cation improves compatibility with non-aqueous electrolytes.
• Surface Modification: Applied in the surface treatment and functionalization of materials to introduce sulfate or other reactive groups for improved adhesion or wettability.
• Cross-linking Agent: Acts as an initiator for the cross-linking of polymers and resins, enhancing thermal and mechanical properties.
• Research & Development: A key reagent in R&D laboratories for developing new synthetic methodologies and studying radical reaction mechanisms.

Quality Control

Our Bis(Tetra-n-Butylammonium) Peroxydisulfate is manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high performance. Each lot is analyzed to confirm identity, purity, and absence of critical impurities. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific test results are provided with every shipment. We support compliance with relevant research and industry standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature and properties as a strong oxidizer, it must be kept separate from reducing agents, combustible materials, and strong acids. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for extended stability.
