Potassium Permanganate is also known as Potassium Permangenate and KMnO4. In a solid state Potassium Permanganate is close to purple in colour, whilst solutions are different shades of pink, depending on the strength. KMnO4 is strongly oxidising and may cause stains; therefore it should only be handled by suitably qualified persons, having carefully consulted the Material Safety Data Sheet beforehand.  ReAgens is able to provide other solid chemicals.

Similar to Sodium Permanganate, Potassium Permanganate has a variety of uses. Amongst others, KMnO4 may be used as a disinfectant, a fungicide, in the production of pharmaceuticals and to treat fish disease. We recommend that only expert fish keepers attempt to treat fish with Potassium Permanganate. Unless clearly stated otherwise, none of our products are suitable for human consumption.
