Oxone™ PS-16

• Nonchlorinated oxidizer in white, granular, free-flowing solid form
• Standard electrode potential of 1.85 V, high enough for many room-temperature oxidations
• High water solubility, above 250 g/L at 20°C
• Solid-state stability, with less than 0.5% relative active oxygen loss per month under recommended storage
• Solution stability at the unmodified acidic pH of the product
• Defined particle size distribution, 99 to 100% through a #16 (1180 µm) screen
• Stain removal and brightening at 20°C
• Rapid action that supports short wash and cleaning cycles
• Same or better cleaning at lower use levels than sodium percarbonate
• Odorless, with no masking of added fragrance
• Degrades into potassium and sulfate salts
• Transport hazard Class 8
• No oxidizer label required
• Highly predictable etch rate for production of microelectronics

Chlorinated oxidizers that are difficult to handle and store
Scale formation and white precipitation caused by calcium hypochlorites and solid-form oxidizers
Oxidizer label required with the use of bleach in formulations
Active oxygen loss during storage of solid peroxygens
Poor stain removal and brightening in cold water washing
Long wash and cleaning cycle times
High use levels required by sodium percarbonate
Chlorine odor in finished cleaning products, and masking of added fragrance
Water spotting and residual staining in machine dishwashing
Logistical risk from oxidizer transport hazard classification
Limited to no control over etching rate in the production of electronics and microelectronics
Pool turns dark or green due to algae bloom
High level of free and combined chlorine in pool and spa applications
Frequent cleaning or replacing paper mill felts
Insufficient bleaching in denture cleansers and cleaning applications
