The Item for sale is 5 Ounces of Sodium Persulfate (Na2S2O8), also known as Sodium Peroxodisulfate. Sodium Persulfate is commonly used as an etchant for copper, iron, brass, and other metals. Unlike Ferric Chloride, Sodium Persulfate makes a colorless, clear solution allowing for easy monitoring of the etching process. Etching with Sodium Persulfate requires no heating baths and produces hardly any fumes. For other popular etchants, including Ferric Chloride and Ammonium Persulfate, check out our other listings.
