When the night is torn apart by gorgeous fireworks, the brilliant bloom of each firework is inseparable from the blessing of potassium perchlorate, the "energy magician", and the quality protection of Hunan United.
Potassium perchlorate is the core oxidant in fireworks. Its powerful oxidizing ability provides the driving force behind the chemical reactions. In fireworks production, it's used alongside various colorants and adhesives. When the ignition mechanism is triggered, potassium perchlorate rapidly triggers a violent reaction, releasing a massive amount of heat and light, propelling the fireworks to burst into life in the night sky, creating a visual feast of rich, vibrant colors, as seen in the images.
It not only imbues fireworks with breathtaking explosive power but also precisely controls the rhythm of combustion, lending a touch of artistic quality to the fireworks' shapes and color transitions. From the low-altitude blooming of golden chrysanthemums to the high-altitude dancing of silver dragons, every graceful movement of fireworks stems from the precise release of energy by potassium perchlorate. It can be said that without potassium perchlorate, fireworks would lose their soul, and the night sky would be much darker. It is the unsung hero of pyrotechnic art, weaving scenes of fairy tales in the night sky with chemical energy that amaze the world.
