The backbone to GFS Chemicals hasbeen based on Perchlorate chemistry.Perchlorates are used in applicationsfor oxidations, catalysis, electrolytes,and desiccants.Perchlorates are stable, provide anexcellent source of oxygen, completelydissociate from the supporting cation insolution, and are uniquely soluble innon-aqueous environments.Our main products include:• Perchloric Acid – catalyst, oxidizer,

etchant, analytical reagent• Magnesium Perchlorate – dessicant,

batteries, catalyst

• Lithium Perchlorate – batteries, catalyst

• Potassium Perchlorate – oxidizer, propellants

• Sodium Perchlorate – propellantsAsk us how perchlorates might helpsolve your problem today. Additionalinformation is available.
