oxidizers
Chemicals enabling burning
Oxidizers are substances that cause or support combustion by providing oxygen or accepting electrons from other materials.
Common oxidizers include oxygen itself, hydrogen peroxide, and chlorine.
In rocketry, the oxidizer combines with fuel to enable burning in the absence of atmospheric oxygen.
Warning labels identify oxidizers because they intensify fires and can ignite combustible materials on contact.
