Potassium permanganate

Vizag chemical  (RX-SOL) Product (Potassium permanganate) Almost all applications of potassium permanganate exploit its oxidizing properties.As a strong oxidant that does not generate toxic byproducts, KMnO4 has many niche uses. http://vizagchemical.com/product/potassium-permagnate-500-gram
Medical Uses
Potassium permanganate is used for a number of skin conditions.This includes fungal infections of the foot, impetigo, pemphigus, superficial wounds, dermatitis, and tropical ulcers.It is on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines, the most important medications needed in a basic health system.
Water treatment
Potassium permanganate is used extensively in the water treatment industry. It is used as a regeneration chemical to remove iron and hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg smell) from good water via a "Manganese Greensand" Filter. "Pot-Perm" is also obtainable at pool supply stores and is used additionally to treat wastewater. Historically it was used to disinfect drinking water and can turn the water pink.It currently finds application in the control of nuisance organisms such as zebra mussels in fresh water collection and treatment systems.
Synthesis of organic compounds
