Potassium perchlorate w anti cake ?

[BG1980]

Hey guys, well the title says it all really ,just came across a certain potassium perchlorate with anti cake , my question is ,what does anti cake mean when speaking of pp ? Is it different than regular potassium perchlorate? If so how ? Is it better, worse or no difference between potassium perchlorate vs potassium perchlorate with anti cake ? Thanks guys ,any help would be greatly appreciated

ACA (anti caking agent) is a material added to a chemical which prevents it from caking. Caking in the sense, particular chemical while storing becomes rock hard & forms hard lumps as time passes due to property of that material.

If you're in the U.S. the majority of KP for sale is going to have anti cake in it. If it doesn't state otherwise. It is also usually the cheapest. Being of Chinese origin. High purity KP without anti cake. Usually goes for a premium, like Swedish or B&C.

If you are hobbyist and have time to pulverize chemicals in small quantities you can buy without ACA version.
