Potassium perchlorate is an inorganic salt known for its exceptional oxidizing properties. It offers stability and reduced sensitivity compared to chlorates, making it a preferred choice among pyrotechnicians.
Potassium perchlorate is widely used in fireworks for its ability to enhance effects and colors. It is also used in ammunition percussion caps, explosive primers, propellants, flash compositions, stars, and sparklers.
Our premium potassium perchlorate empowers pyrotechnic compositions with stunning effects. Its versatility and reliability make it a trusted ingredient among industry experts, ensuring high-quality fireworks displays.
When using potassium perchlorate, it is important to store it away from strong mineral acids and reducing agents. Sealed containers provide suitable containment, and a dry environment is not necessary due to its non-hygroscopic nature.
Potassium perchlorate is considered safe for the environment when used properly. However, care should be taken to dispose of it responsibly to minimize any potential impact.
Safety is paramount when handling potassium perchlorate, as it is moderately toxic. It is important to wear breathing protection and protect your skin during handling to avoid any potential health risks.
To prevent clumping and ensure optimal flow, our product contains a small amount of Cabosil, a carefully chosen additive. Store potassium perchlorate in sealed containers away from strong mineral acids and reducing agents.
Our potassium perchlorate undergoes thorough quality control processes to ensure purity levels of 99.2% or better. It is ready to use straight from the container, requiring no further processing.
Research in pyrotechnics may lead to innovations in the use of potassium perchlorate. New formulations and applications could enhance its performance and effectiveness in future fireworks displays.

I’ve purchased P.P. from every retailer that offers it for sale online. This is by far the highest quality and its an extremely fine and free flowing “clump” free chemical, versus the typical chunky chemical in need of further processing that most other retailers are peddling. Fireworkscookbook doesn’t drag their feet in getting orders out the door. Don’t waste your time looking elsewhere, you’ll never find better product for any price and you’ll never find a more trustworthy place to purchase the majority of your firework related needs. Thanks again!
