Potassium permanganate, commonly known as Condy”s crystals, is an inorganic chemical compound with the formula KMnO4 [CAS number 7722-64-7]. It is an oxidizing agent that can be used for many applications, from industrial water purification and textile bleaching to chemical oxidation and corrosion
protection. Due to its oxidizing properties, potassium permanganate is often used in textile dyeing processes to improve color fastness and reduce fading when exposed to light or air pollution. In the paper industry, it is commonly used in bleaching processes to whiten paper pulp prior to production. It can also be found in commercial formulations such as cleaners, stain removers, deodorizers, and disinfectants.
While it is not suitable in its raw form for wound care, potassium permanganate has been an active component in antiseptic solutions for centuries. It is utilized as an active ingredient in medical formulations designed to treat wounds and skin disorders like eczema and psoriasis. It is implemented in the industrial sector to clean drinking water and as a disinfectant in pool treatments.
