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.
