Potassium Perchlorate
Potassium perchlorate (KClO4) is a strong oxidizer used in pyrotechnics, fireworks, and airbag inflators. Classified under HTS 2829.90.61.00 as an 'other' perchlorate, it qualifies as a peroxysalt of inorganic bases per Chapter 28 notes. Its high stability makes it preferred over perchloric acid derivatives.
