Barium chlorate appears as a white crystalline solid. Forms very flammable mixtures with combustible materials. Mixtures may be ignited by friction and may be explosive if the combustible material is finely divided. Contact with concentrated sulfuric acid solutions may cause fires or explosions. May spontaneously decompose and ignite when mixed with ammonium salt. May explode under prolonged exposure to heat or fire. Used in explosives and pyrotechnics, in dyeing textiles, and to make other chlorates.

Barium chlorate must be stored to avoid contact with organic or combustible materials (such as wood, paper, oil, fuels and starch) and other easily oxidizable materials (such as sulfur, aluminum, cooper, metal sulfides, ammonium salts, etc.) since violent reactions occur. Store in tightly closed containers on non-wood floors in a cool, well-ventilated area. Wherever barium chlorate is used, handled, manufactured, or stored, use explosion-proof electrical equipment and fittings.

Prolonged exposure of the material to fire or heat can result in an explosion.
