Potassium Permanganate – 99% – CAS 7722-64-7 – Powdered Oxidizer for Cleaning & Disinfection

Potassium Permanganate (KMnO₄, CAS 7722-64-7) is a strong oxidizing agent widely used in laboratory, industrial, and aquarium applications. This deep purple crystalline powder is known for its broad-spectrum oxidizing, disinfecting, and deodorizing properties.

Also known as Potassium Manganate(VII), it is valued in aquaculture (non-medical research use) for surface disinfection, parasite control, and water treatment protocols.

🧪 Common Uses:

• Aquarium and pond cleaning (for research/life-supporting systems — not for direct medicating fish)

• Disinfection of tanks, tools, and organic waste

• Oxidizing agent in chemical syntheses

• Deodorization of wastewater

• Laboratory redox titrations and demonstrations
