Barium Chlorate [Ba(ClO3)2•H2O] White powder. Oxidizer. 

Was once used to create greens, but must be used only with compounds that will reduce sensitivity to shock and friction. Barium chlorate is used as an oxidiser in green color compositions. Fierce burning and high color purity compositions can be made with it. Used when deep green colours are needed. It is one of the more sensitive chemicals which are still used, best to avoid if possible, but if used it should be in combination with chemicals which will reduce its sensitivity.

 PLEASE NOTE THAT Barium chlorate is poisonous and a dust mask should be worn at all times when handling it. Barium chlorate should never be mixed with sulfur or sulfides or allowed to come in contact with mixtures containing sulfur or sulfides since this could result in spontaneous ignition. Sulfur reacts with water and air to form small amounts of sulfuric acid. Sulfuric acid and chlorates react producing ClO2, an explosive gas that will ignite many organic materials on contact. Mixtures made with barium chlorate are often especially sensitive to friction and shock (even more so than potassium chlorate based mixtures) and should be handled with extra care
