Potassium Chlorate

CAS 3811049 HS Code 2829191000 Packing 25kgbag Application Potassium chlorate KClO is a colorless flake crystalline or white granular powder with a salty and cool taste and a strong oxidizing agent Stable at room temperature decomposition and release of oxygen above 400 and reducing agents organic matter flammable materials such as sulfur phosphorus or metal powder can be mixed to form an explosive mixture rapid heating can explode Therefore potassium chlorate is a highly sensitive explosive agent such as mixed with certain impurities sometimes even in the sun exposure to selfexplosion It explodes when exposed to concentrated sulfuric acid It can react with manganese dioxide as a catalyst to generate oxygen under heating conditions Its made of ions Potassium chlorate should never be used to react with hydrochloric acid to produce chlorine gas because explosive chlorine dioxide is formed and pure chlorine gas cannot be obtained at all Glossy crystalline or white particles or powder When the temperature is above the melting point it is decomposed into potassium perchlorate and potassium chloride and almost no oxygen is released and when the temperature is higher potassium perchlorate can liberate oxygen 1g slowly dissolves in 165ml water 18ml boiling water about 50ml glycerin and almost insoluble in ethanol The relative density is 232 and the melting point is 356 It reacts with concentrated sulfuric acid to produce highly explosive chloric acid and chlorine dioxide and grinds with some organic matter sulfur phosphorus sulfite hypophosphate and other easily oxidized substances which can cause combustion and explosion
