Potassium Permanganate
Potassium Permanganate (Product Code: SCI-560/163) is an analytical reagent grade oxidising agent used for redox titrations, diffusion demonstrations and oxygen preparation in school and college chemistry labs. Its intense purple colour lets it act as its own indicator in titrations, and it is supplied in a 200 g pack with an MSDS. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

What Is Potassium Permanganate Used For?
In volumetric analysis, potassium permanganate solution in a burette is run into acidified ferrous ammonium sulfate or oxalic acid solution; the purple colour vanishes until the end point, when a faint permanent pink shows that all the reducing agent has reacted, so no separate indicator is needed. It is a core reagent in any titration kit for school or college practical examinations.
A single crystal dropped into still water shows diffusion as purple streaks spread out, and a crystal placed at the edge of a heated beaker traces convection currents. Heating the solid releases oxygen, and dilute alkaline permanganate (Baeyer's reagent) tests for carbon-carbon double bonds. It is a strong oxidiser that stains skin and clothing brown, so keep it away from glycerin, alcohols and other organic matter, with which it can ignite.
What to Specify When Ordering
- The number of 200 g packs needed for the year's titration practicals.
- Whether the separate, larger Potassium Permanganate listing suits bulk use.
- Burettes, conical flasks and ferrous ammonium sulfate to complete the titration sets.
Supplier
ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which sources Potassium Permanganate for teaching and analytical laboratories and ships it with its MSDS alongside burettes, flasks and other titration items. Institutional buyers completing vendor registration can use the company's CIN U29309HR2020PTC087597 and GSTIN 06AAECJ8618A1ZT. The ScienceLab profile has more background.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Potassium Permanganate SCI-560/163 used for?
Potassium Permanganate SCI-560/163 is used for redox titrations with iron(II) salts and oxalic acid, diffusion and convection demonstrations, oxygen preparation by heating and testing for unsaturation in organic chemistry. It is analytical reagent grade for school and college laboratories.
Why is no indicator needed in permanganate titrations?
No indicator is needed because Potassium Permanganate is intensely purple while its reduced form is almost colourless. The first drop of excess Potassium Permanganate SCI-560/163 leaves a faint permanent pink in the flask, marking the end point.
What pack size is Potassium Permanganate SCI-560/163?
Potassium Permanganate SCI-560/163 is supplied in a 200 g pack of analytical reagent grade material with an MSDS. Laboratories that use more can ask about the separate, larger-pack Potassium Permanganate listing.
How should Potassium Permanganate be stored?
Store Potassium Permanganate SCI-560/163 tightly closed in a cool, dry cabinet for oxidisers, well away from glycerin, alcohols, acids and other organic or reducing substances. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
Does Potassium Permanganate stain?
Yes. Potassium Permanganate leaves brown manganese dioxide stains on skin, clothing and glassware. Wear gloves and a lab coat when handling Potassium Permanganate SCI-560/163, and remove stains from glassware with an acidified reducing solution such as oxalic acid.
Who supplies Potassium Permanganate SCI-560/163?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India supplies Potassium Permanganate SCI-560/163 to schools, colleges, laboratories, dealers and importers in India and international markets. It is a sourced reagent, and vendor registration details are available for institutional purchasing.
