Sodium chlorate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula NaClO3. It is a white crystalline powder that is readily soluble in water. It is hygroscopic. It decomposes above 300 C to release oxygen and leaves sodium chloride. Several hundred million tons are produced annually, mainly for applications in bleaching pulp to produce high brightness paper. The main commercial use for sodium chlorate is for making chlorine dioxide (ClO2). The largest application of ClO2, which accounts for about 95% of the use of chlorate, is in bleaching of pulp. All other, less important chlorates are derived from sodium chlorate, usually by salt metathesis with the corresponding chloride. All perchlorate compounds are produced industrially by the oxidation of solutions of sodium chlorate by electrolysis.

Sodium chlorate is a chemical compound primarily known for its use in the production of herbicides and weed killers. It is a powerful herbicide that effectively eliminates various types of unwanted vegetation. Sodium chlorate is applied to crops, forests, and industrial areas to control the growth of weeds and plants that can interfere with agriculture and land management. Its herbicidal properties stem from its ability to disrupt the photosynthesis process in plants, ultimately leading to their death. While it has essential agricultural applications, sodium chlorate must be handled and used with caution due to its potential environmental impact and safety considerations.
