Used primarily as a bleaching activator in laundry detergents, it enhances the performance of bleach at lower temperatures, making it effective in cold water washing. It is also employed in the textile industry for bleaching fabrics, ensuring they achieve a high degree of whiteness without damaging the material. Additionally, it finds application in hair care products, where it acts as a gentle bleaching agent for hair treatments. Its ability to release active oxygen makes it valuable in cleaning and disinfection processes, particularly in environments where low-temperature efficacy is crucial.
