Applications:
- Used as an oxidizer in solid rocket propellants and explosives
- Serves as a denaturant in biochemical applications, such as DNA extraction and hybridization reactions
- Utilized in the manufacturing of certain herbicides, such as ammonium perchlorate
- Acts as an oxidizing agent in various organic synthesis processes
- Employed as a background electrolyte in analytical chemistry
Hazard Identification:
- GHS Classification: Oxidizing Solid; Health Hazard
- Hazard Statements:
- H271: May cause fire or explosion; strong oxidizer
- H302: Harmful if swallowed
- H314: Causes severe skin burns and eye damage
- Precautionary Statements:
- P210: Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and hot surfaces
- P280: Wear protective gloves, protective clothing, and eye protection
- P305+P351+P338: IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes
Storage and Safety:
- Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from flammable materials and reducing agents
- Handling: Use appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves, eye protection, protective clothing). Avoid inhalation of dust and contact with skin and eyes
- Fire Safety: Sodium perchlorate is a strong oxidizer; mixing it with organic materials can lead to vigorous combustion reactions. In case of fire, use dry chemical extinguishers, dry sand, or alcohol-resistant foam. Do not use water or carbon dioxide extinguishers
