Description

White, water-soluble crystals. Sodium chlorate is a strong bleaching and oxidizing agent. It is used in bleaching paper pulps and was occasionally used for removing stains from archival papers (Roberts and Etherington 1982). However, it can leave residual chloride that is difficult to remove. Sodium chlorate is also used to dye and print textiles and to tan and finish leathers.
