asdercks Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 Hi guys, doing some google search for sources of kclo4 I found gfschemicals.com and they sell commercial perchlorate in lots of 10 kilos for $138.80 which I think is a good price, here are some of the specifications of the product (they don't specify particle size) 1. Assay 99.0% min 2. Moisture 0.02% max 3. Chlorides 0.05% 4. Chlorates 0.07% 5. pH of 5% solution 5.5-8.5 @ 25 C 6. Bromates 0.02% 7. Sodium 0.04% 8. Calcium and magnesium salts (as oxides) 0.20% 9. Grit and water insoluble material 0.02% 10. Iron 0.003% do you guys think this a good enough product to use in pyrotechnics? has anyone ever bought from this supplier before?
mkn Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 I don't know on that supplier, but pastimepyrochemicalsupply has Chinese for $25 / 5# I have not used enough Kclo4 in my short pyro time to say one is better than another. I am using pastime now and it seems to be doing the job well.
