Description

Calcium Chlorate is an inorganic salt widely recognized for its strong oxidizing properties. This compound is essential in industrial processes where controlled oxidation is required, offering a reliable source of chlorate ions. It serves as a critical raw material for manufacturers in the agrochemical, pyrotechnics, and water treatment sectors, where its performance and consistency are paramount.

Application

• Herbicide Production: A key intermediate in the synthesis of certain non-selective herbicides and defoliants.
• Pyrotechnics and Matches: Acts as an oxidizing agent in colored flares, fireworks, and safety match compositions.
• Water Treatment: Used in specific disinfection and oxidation processes for industrial wastewater.
• Textile Processing: Employed as a bleaching agent for natural fibers and pulps.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a precursor for producing other chlorate and perchlorate compounds.
• Oxygen Generation: A component in chemical oxygen generators for emergency and aerospace applications.

Quality Control

Our Calcium Chlorate is manufactured under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. We provide comprehensive quality assurance, with product specifications meeting relevant industrial and safety standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles are available for every shipment upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its hygroscopic and oxidizing nature, keep containers tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption and store separately from combustible materials, reducing agents, and strong acids. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C.
