Overview of Potassium Permanganate

Potassium Permanganate is a powerful inorganic oxidising agent widely used in water treatment, chemical processing, textiles, pharmaceuticals, and industrial manufacturing. Chemically, the potassium permanganate formula is KMnO₄, consisting of potassium, manganese, and oxygen. Due to its strong oxidation potential, it is highly effective in purification, disinfection, and controlled oxidation reactions.

In appearance, Potassium Permanganate is a dark purple to black crystalline solid that readily dissolves in water to form a deep purple solution. It is stable under normal storage conditions but reacts vigorously with reducing agents and organic materials. Its reliability and versatility make it one of the most commonly used oxidisers in industrial operations.
