153 PERCHLORATES 5. production , import / export , USE, AND DISPOSAL production No information is available in the TRI database on facilities that manufacture or process perchlorates because these chemicals are not required to be reported under Section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986) (EPA 1997a). Commercial interest in perchlorates began in the late 1890s/early 1900s in Europe and the United States as a direct result of the pioneering efforts in rockets and their propulsion systems (Mendiratta et al. 1996). The production of ammonium perchlorate, the largest component of solid rocket propellants, far outpaced that of the other perchlorates listed in Table 4-1. Their commercial manufacture began later, and it was not until 1928 when GFS Chemicals began producing magnesium perchlorate for use as a dessicant (GFS 1997) that these salts became available on the market.
