Product Information
Name:Potassium chlorate
Controlled Product
Brand:Biosynth
Description:Potassium chlorate is a strong oxidizing agent and a salt of potassium and chlorate. Potassium chlorate is used as an oxidizer in fireworks, propellants, and for the treatment of wastewater. It can also be used to generate chlorine dioxide, which is used as a disinfectant. Potassium chlorate has been shown to have genotoxic effects on rat liver cells, which may be due to its ability to induce transcriptional regulation by altering DNA methylation status. Chronic exposure to high concentrations of potassium chlorate can cause apical necrosis in rats. This type of necrosis is caused by the accumulation of potassium ions that lead to a disruption in membrane integrity. Chlorates are also known to cause chronic renal toxicity via oxidative stress mechanisms.
