Potassium Perchlorate

This inorganic perchlorate salt is highly soluble in water and is prized for its role in pyrotechnics, aerospace propulsion, and pharmaceutical manufacturing. Sourced from premium-grade materials, our Potassium Perchlorate ensures consistent purity levels exceeding 99%, making it a reliable choice for demanding processes.

Key Specifications

These specifications position Potassium Perchlorate as an essential reagent for oxidation reactions and energy-release formulations.

Primary Applications

Potassium Perchlorate's versatility stems from its strong oxidizing nature, enabling efficient oxygen release in controlled environments. Common uses include:

• Pyrotechnics and Fireworks: Acts as an oxidizer in flash powders and colored flares, providing bright, stable combustion without excessive smoke.

  
  

• Aerospace and Propellants: Integral to solid rocket fuels, where it supports high-thrust, reliable performance in space exploration and missile systems.

  
  

• Pharmaceuticals: Employed in thyroid medications and as a reagent in synthetic drug production, leveraging its biocompatibility in trace amounts.

  
  

• Analytical Chemistry: Used in gravimetric analysis and as a supporting electrolyte in electrochemical cells for precise measurements.

  
  

• Explosives and Safety Devices: Found in airbag inflators and detonators, ensuring rapid, safe gas generation.

  
  

By incorporating Potassium Perchlorate, manufacturers achieve enhanced efficiency and safety in oxygen-dependent processes.

Benefits of High-Purity Potassium Perchlorate

• Superior Stability: Resists decomposition under standard conditions, reducing handling risks and extending shelf life up to 2 years when stored properly.

  
  

• Consistent Performance: Uniform particle size (typically 50-100 μm) ensures predictable reaction rates, minimizing batch variability.

  
  

• Eco-Friendly Profile: Low toxicity in controlled applications; biodegradable byproducts from combustion.

  
  

• Cost-Effective: High yield in reactions translates to lower overall production costs for end-users.

Our product undergoes rigorous quality control, including ICP-MS testing for trace metals, to meet international standards like those from the American Chemical Society.

Safety and Handling Guidelines

While Potassium Perchlorate is stable, it poses risks as an oxidizer. Always adhere to these protocols:

• Wear protective gear (gloves, goggles, respirators) during handling.

  
  

• Store in sealed containers below 30°C, segregated from combustibles.

  
  

• In case of fire, use water or CO₂ extinguishers; avoid organic solvents.

  
  

• Emergency response: Flush skin/eyes with water for 15 minutes; seek medical attention for ingestion or inhalation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the primary use of Potassium Perchlorate CAS 7778-74-7?

Potassium Perchlorate is mainly used as an oxidizer in pyrotechnics, rocket propellants, and pharmaceutical synthesis due to its ability to release oxygen efficiently during decomposition.

Is Potassium Perchlorate safe for industrial handling?

Yes, when handled with proper precautions, it is stable and low-risk. It is non-flammable on its own but enhances combustion of other materials, so storage away from fuels is essential.

What purity levels are available for your Potassium Perchlorate?

We offer ≥99% purity for industrial applications, with custom options for ultra-high purity (up to 99.9%) upon request.

How should Potassium Perchlorate be stored to maintain quality?

Keep in a cool, dry place in airtight containers, avoiding direct sunlight and humidity to prevent moisture absorption.

Can Potassium Perchlorate be shipped internationally?

Absolutely. We comply with global regulations like IATA and DOT for safe, compliant shipping worldwide.

What is the shelf life of Potassium Perchlorate?

Under ideal conditions, it remains effective for 2-3 years, with periodic testing recommended for long-term storage.
