Potassium peroxymonosulfate Use
Disinfection and Sanitization
Potassium peroxymonosulfate is a substance in oxidizing biocide for disinfection and sanitization purposes. It is effective against bacteria, viruses, fungi, and algae. It is widely employed in water treatment for swimming pools, spas, and hot tubs to maintain water hygiene.
Its primary swimming pool use is to oxidize any contaminates in the water, leaving chlorine or bromine sanitizers already present in the water to focus on sanitizing the water.
Cleaning and Stain Removal
Due to its strong oxidizing properties, potassium peroxymonosulfate is material in cleaning products and stain removers. It can help remove organic stains such as coffee, tea, wine, and food stains from various surfaces.
Oxidizing Agent
Potassium peroxymonosulfate is a highly effective oxidizing agent. It releases active oxygen upon dissolution in water, which makes it useful for a wide range of oxidative reactions.
Bleaching Agent
Potassium peroxymonosulfate is a non-chlorine-based bleaching agent. It also a bleaching agent in the textile industry for fabric and fiber bleaching.
