With increasingly high demands on safety, efficiency and quality of the end products, producers of pyrotechnics are increasing their demands on raw materials and their suppliers. With its supreme quality product, high service level and
advanced knowledge of Health/Safety/Environment,
Nouryon has proven to be an invaluable partner to the pyrotechnical industry. Additionally we produce several grades of potassium chlorate that are
tailor-made to meet the specific demands of match manufacturers in all parts of the world. This is the result of a long and close cooperation with manufacturers around the globe.
Potassium chlorate is a very common oxidiser in pyrotechnics. The large scale production of this compound made the first quality colored fireworks possible, about a century ago. Potassium chlorate is a stronger oxidiser than potassium perchlorate. Similarly, the head of "strike anywhere" matches contain an oxidizing agent such as potassium chlorate together with tetraphosphorus trisulfide, P4S3, glass and binder. The phosphorus sulfide is easily ignited, the potassium chlorate decomposes to give oxygen, which in turn causes the phosphorus sulfide to burn more vigorously.
