About Potassium Permanganate. Potassium Permanganate (a.k.a. KMnO4) is a purple crystalline, water-soluble, oxidative solid with a sweet taste. Even though it is noncombustible, it accelerates the burning of combustible material. Liquid and finely divided combustible materials must not be in contact with potassium permanganate as it may result in spontaneous ignition causing the mixture to be explosive.
Potassium Permanganate is a dangerous fire and explosion risk in contact with organic materials and a powerful oxidizing agent. It should be stored well closed and separated from combustible substances, powdered metals, and reducing agents. Packaging is in steel drums or, for large users, bulk containers, bulk cars, and trucks. It must be stored in an area without drain or sewer access. The following transportation regulations are applicable: IMDG code D 5187, class 5; RID/ADR class 5.1, number 9 c; UN no. 1490; CFR 49: 172.101 oxidizing material.
Raw materials and the respective production processes employed in the manufacturing of Potassium Permanganate are listed below.
- Manganese ores + potassium hydroxide (thermal oxidation/electrolytic oxidation)
The uses and applications of Potassium Permanganate may vary according to its specification. The main forms of Potassium Permanganate are technical grade; chemically pure (CP) grade; and United States Pharmacopeia (USP) grade.
