The portion of a chemical mixture or compound which furnishes oxygen for burning a fuel or propellant, creating an oxide.
chemical which burns up organic matter. See above.
a substance that supplies oxygen to support combustion of normally non-flammable material. Ammonium Nitrate Hydrogen Peroxide Nitric Acid Chlorates
The component of a propellant which provides the combustion supporting element (generally Oxygen, but can be Fluorine, Chlorine, Sulfur, etc.)
A chemical capable of reacting with other chemicals in an “oxidation” reaction. Chemical reactions involving strong oxidizers may release heat or be explosive.
a chemical that makes things burn more rapidly
a material that will readily promote the release of oxygen
a material which essentially provides oxygen for any type of a reaction to take place
an agent that releases oxygen for combination with a fuel
an ingredient of pyrotechnic materials
a product that when decomposed will readily release oxygen, release its own oxygen
A substance that gives up oxygen readily. Presence of an oxidizer increases the fire hazard.
Materials that release oxygen or act like oxygen; materials that attract electrons.
A material that may, generally by providing oxygen, cause or increase the burning of other materials more than air does.
A compound or element that contains oxygen or is capable of giving up oxygen when heated; gases that increase oxygen concentration and support combustion.
A shocking or sanitizing compound that removes or destroys built-up contaminants and chloramines in pool water. Most chlorinating, brominating, and oxygenating compounds are considered oxidizers. Usually the fast dissolving oxidizers which contain chlorine, such as hypochlorites, are typically used to "superchlorinate" the water.
Is a substance that gives up oxygen easily to stimulate combustion of organic material.
Non-chlorine shock chemical that destroys organic wastes without raising chlorine levels.
(symbol o, used as subscript). Specifically, a substance (not necessarily containing oxygen) that supports the combustion of a fuel or propellant.
A material which may cause the ignition of combustible materials without the aid of an external source of ignition or which, when mixed with a combustible material, increases the rate of burning once ignited.
(1) A substance (compound) that will accept electrons from another compound, thus changing (oxidizing) the other compound. (2)A material which may cause combustible materials to ignite without the aid of an external ignition source (such as flame) or which, when mixed with combustible materials, increases the rate of burning of these materials.
A substance which readily yields oxygen or equivalent to stimulate the combustion (oxidation) of organic matter.
A chemical other than a blasting agent or explosive that initiates or promotes combustion by spontaneously evolving oxygen either at room temperature or under slight heating. These chemicals can react with organic material or intensify fires.
a reactive substance that produces oxygen compounds.
A substance that yields oxygen.
Chemical that burns up organic matter. Ozonator: A device used to generate ozone. Assists in disinfection, deodorizing and flocculating.
A chemical other than blasting agent or explosive that contains oxygen and may start or assist combustion in other materials. Examples are chromic acid, concentrated nitric acid, and potassium permanganate.
An oxidizing chemical used to prevent the buildup of contaminants, maximize sanitizer efficiency, minimize combined chlorine and improve water clarity.
A hazardous material containing oxygen that can combine with adjacent fuel to start or feed a fire.
A chemical which when mixed with combustible or flammable material will start a fire or make an existing fire worse. An abbreviation for "para". Referring to a particular arrangement of elements within a chemical molecule.
A chemical, other than a blasting agent or explosive, that initiates or promotes combustion in other materials, thereby causing fire either of itself or through the release of oxygen or other gases; any substance that will oxidize. Most oxidizers are compounds of oxygen. Fluorine, chlorine, and bromine are elements that are also used as oxidizers. Also referred to as an oxidizing agent, causes another substance to lose electrons. Oxygen is the most common oxidizer in our environment. Oxidizers are said to be reduced when they gain the electrons lost by the material, which they are oxidizing.
A material that causes oxidation. An additive that increases the oxygen content of an air/fuel mixture.
A mild chemical solution that causes un-coated areas of brass and aluminium to turn black.
