99.8% potassium chlorate is a white crystalline or powder high-purity potassium chlorate substance. Its molecular formula is KClO3. It generally occurs as a white color or colorless, water-soluble and crystalline solid. It is a strong oxidant and reacts easily with carbon, phosphorous, sulfur, and organic compounds. It is insoluble in water. It is produced commercially by passing chlorine into hot milk of lime and consequently adding potassium chloride. Furthermore, it can be manufactured in small quantities by passing chlorine gas into the hot solution of caustic potash. It is used as an ingredient in smoke compositions for instance smoke grenades. It is also used in educational institutions and laboratories to generate oxygen gas. It is used as a pesticide owing to its weed killer applications. It is used in chemical oxygen generators which are used as oxygen supply systems of aircraft, space stations, and submarines. It displays effective antimicrobial properties due to its chemical nature. Potassium chlorate is used in making potent disinfectants and used to treat drinking water from pathogens. In addition, it is used as a basic raw material for safety match work industries and as a whitening agent in the textile industry. Furthermore, it can be mixed with an appropriate fuel to form a short-tempered material called sprengel explosive.
