potassium perchlorate is the inorganic salt with the chemical formula kclo. like other perchlorates, this salt is a strong oxidizer although it usually reacts very slowly with organic substances. this, usually obtained as a colorless, crystalline solid, is a common oxidizer used in fireworks, ammunition percussion caps, explosive primers, and is used variously in propellants, flash compositions, stars, and sparklers. it has been used as a solid rocket propellant, although in that application it has mostly been replaced by the higher performance ammonium perchlorate. kclo has the lowest solubility of the alkali metal perchlorates (1.5 g in 100 ml of water at 25 °c).
