How/Where do I get potassium perchlorate?

So naturally, I was trying to buy potassium perchlorate online, but I only found it in a few places. And the places that did sell it were incredibly expensive ($124 for 500 grams). Are there any websites I can order from that aren't super expensive? (I don't live in the US) Is there some way I can make this salt myself? I look forward to hearing from you.

Shock sensetivity of sulfamic acid and ammonium perchlorate.

Does anybody know if it’s shock sensitive? I’m going to be using it as a smoke compound for a launched smoke bomb. I’m pretty sure it’s not impact sensitive based off of this video but I just want to be extra sure. This is the mixture I’m using.

anyone ever taken a run at nitronium perchlorate?

yeah, i know. the name sounds like something this place would use as a punchline when talking about cursed energetics. the notion of using nitronium as a counterion sounds fake as shit, but evidently it is real, and is the subject of a handful of patents for rocket fuel compositions (which, uh, yeah, it's probably a very oxidize-y oxidizer).

the wiki page has nothing on synthesis, and i'm not sure how one would go about it. nitric:sulfuric + perchloric acid would be my guess but yowza that sounds like a hot gravy. anyone ever mess with this stuff? how dangerous is it? what kinds of fuels does it pair well with? does it form any other stable salts?

seems like it'd be ideal for a reverse hybrid rocket motor, if it weren't for the whole "detonation" thing. it's probably hypergolic with lots of fuels. i bet UDMH would be pretty vigorous.

EDIT: wait, perchloric acid is stronger than sulfuric or nitric. could you produce it by treating KNO3 with perchloric acid? would that kick out nitronium ions?

EDIT 2: as an additional curiosity, N2O5 is actually ionic when it's solid, and is properly named "nitronium nitrate"

Discussion: Chlorate/Perchlorate Toxicity (Chronic Exposure)

Hello all, I figured I'd open a discussion thread of sorts, on the topic of Chlorate/Perchlorate toxicity given chronic, persistent exposure (such as workplace settings). It recently has come up in discussions elsewhere.

I understand that the perchlorate anion basically blocks iodine uptake, causing the thyroid to have a generally bad time. This apparently has been reported amongst people working with propellants, etc.

As for chlorates, which were once common as weedkiller, I am less sure of the mechanism of action there with regards human toxicity. They seem to stuff up your red blood cells by oxidizing them? Link.

I'd be interested to hear about case studies, etc. I'll post some ones I find in the comments below, but figure having some input from actual toxicologists and industrial safety types would be neat. Also, its quiet around here.

Note to mods: I have a few similar discussion-threads in mind, various topics from common plants to the wild world of watercolour pigments. Let me know if this kind of thread is welcome.

Why did HTPB and PBAN become the default binders for ammonium perchlorate composite propellant?

I've been doing some reading on the history of solid rocket propellants. I stumbled upon an article that mentioned a peculiar solid rocket propellant formulation with an average ISP of about 240, consisting of 60% ammonium perchlorate, 20% polyvinyl chloride, and 20% aluminium. It got me thinking, why did HTPB and PBAN become the default binders for solid rocket propellants? Why are other materials not used instead of these? Plastics like PVC are cheaper, for example. Plastics like polyethylene glycol have better oxygen balances than HTPB and PBAN and would require less ammonium perchlorate to oxidize them. Why aren't substances that appear to be easier to implement, easier to manufacture, and cheaper used as binders now?

Can you make potassium perchlorates or potassium chlorates at home and it having the same effect as commercial?

potassium perchlorate: how to make

simple to make potassium chlorate by boiling bleach, cooling it, and mixing in a saturated solution of salt substitute in water. The synthesis works because potassium from the salt substitute displaces sodium from the sodium chlorate made by boiling the bleach

I'm guessing the salt substitute is potassium chloride?

for potassium chlorate l did search it up and found the exact same procedure for potassium perchlorate.

l just want a better insight from people that actually know what their doing.

Credits to the guy that did it, it sounds horrendously dangerous as the product - ethyl perchlorate - was a very strong and sensitive explosive.
