Potassium Permanganate

Product Description

Potassium Permanganate (KMnO₄) is a deep purple to nearly black crystalline inorganic compound and a powerful oxidizing agent. It dissolves in water to give intensely colored purple solutions and is widely used in water treatment, disinfection, analytical chemistry, and organic synthesis. Its strong oxidative properties make it a versatile reagent for redox reactions, decolorization, and removal of contaminants.
