Why is potassium chlorate used in match heads?

Safety match heads contain minuscule amounts of potassium chlorate, as an oxidizer. When a match is struck, the friction generated between the match head and the box is sufficient to ignite the red phosphorus. Again sufficient heat is generated to prompt the decomposition of the potassium chlorate in the head. At this point the extra oxygen aids the fuel in the match stick and the wood itself catches fire.
