Potassium Chlorate

Application Of Potassium Chlorate:

Potassium chlorate is widely used in explosives, fireworks, firecrackers, advanced safety matches, pharmaceuticals, photographic reagents, analytical reagents, oxidants, rocket and missile propellants, etc.

In the same series of propellants, the propellants containing potassium chlorate burn faster than the propellants containing ammonium chlorate. The lowest pressure at which the combustion can be carried out is higher, and the burning rate index is very high.

It can also be used as antipyretic and diuretic agents. Analytical reagents. Oxidizer. Potassium chlorate can generate potassium chloride and oxygen with manganese dioxide as catalyst under heating conditions. The method of heating potassium chlorate is not commonly used in chemical laboratories to produce oxygen (oxygen is impure and dangerous).
