Sodium perchlorate (CAS 7601-89-0) is an inorganic salt composed of sodium and perchlorate ions, primarily used as an oxidizer in pyrotechnics, explosives, and rocket propellants, as well as in analytical chemistry and certain industrial processes. It appears as a white, hygroscopic crystalline solid with a molecular formula of NaClO₄ and a molecular weight of 122.44 g/mol. It must be stored at ambient conditions in a cool, dry place, away from incompatible substances, and handled with care due to its hazardous nature (Signal Word: Danger). Molekula supplies sodium perchlorate from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
