Potassium Bromate

Product Description:Potassium Bromate

Potassium Bromate (KBrO₃) is a powerful oxidizing agent appearing as a white crystalline powder or granule. It is primarily used in laboratory analysis, chemical synthesis, and select industrial processes. Known for its strong oxidative properties, potassium bromate has historically been used in the baking industry as a flour improver, though such use is now restricted or regulated in many regions due to health concerns.
In laboratory and industrial applications, it serves as a reliable reagent and oxidant in various chemical reactions.
