Oxone (potassium monopersulfate compound) is a powerful oxidizing agent widely used in water treatment, wastewater purification, and advanced oxidation processes for degrading organic pollutants. It efficiently breaks down contaminants without generating harmful byproducts like chlorine. This chemical is also utilized in pharmaceutical synthesis, textile bleaching, and disinfection applications due to its controlled release of active oxygen. Oxone has the CAS number 70693-62-8, a molecular formula of KHSO₅·0.5KHSO₄·0.5K₂SO₄ (also written as the doubled form 2KHSO₅·KHSO₄·K₂SO₄), and a molecular weight of 307.38 g/mol. It is stable at ambient storage conditions and carries the signal word Danger, with hazard statements H302, H314 (sub-category 1B), H317, H332, H334 and H410. Molekula supplies Oxone from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
