Material Safety Data Sheet

Potassium Permanganate (KmnO4)

Section 1
Section 2
Section 3 Hazard identification of potassium permanganate
Potassium permanganate can affect you when breathed in
Contact can severely irriate and burn the skin and eyes with possible eye
damage
Breathing potassium permanganate can irriate the nose and throat
Breathing potassium permanganate can irriate the lungs causing coughing
and/or shortness of breath. Higher exposures can cause abuild-up of fluid in
the lungs (pulmonary edema),a medical emergency, with severe shortnessof
breath.
Potassium permanganate may affect the liver and kidneys.
Section 4 First aid measures
First aid measures is the assitance given to any person suffering a sudden
illnes or injuty, witch care provided to preserve life, prevent the condition from
worsening and/or promote recovery. First aid is generally performed by the lay
person with many people trained in providing basic levels of first aid and other
willing to do so from acquired of the concept of first aid to cover metal health.
In this section, Pottasium permanganate have a first aid measures if
contact with the substance or have a work accident with a substance. The first
thing we should do in worplace accident that substance by inhation is find fresh
air and go out to find doctor when not feeling better. The first thing we should do
in worplace accident that substance by skin contact is wash skin with a lot of
water and remove clothes are contaimaned substance. The first thing we should
do in worplace accident that substance by eye contact . rince with a lot of water
with eyelid heldwide open and early up calling opthalmologist. The first thing we
should do in worplace accident that substance if swallowing dont make vomiting
because Pottasium Permanganatecan risk perforation, thing to do is drink plenty
of water to victims.
Section 5 Fire Fighting Measures
As in any fire,wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand,
MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Strong oxidizer.
Contact wih combustible materials may cause a fire, irritating and highly toxic
gases maybe generated by thermal decompotitionor combustion some oxidizer
may react explosively with fuel. May accelarate burning if involved in a fire
containers may explode when heated.
Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. For
small fires do not use dry chemicals, carbon dioxide, halon or foams. Use water
only for large fire, flood fire area with water a distance.
Section 7 Handling and Storage
Handling
 There is no more requisite for handling the substances
Storage
Keep container closed when not in use.
Do not store near combustible materials.
Keep away from sources of ignition.
Store in a dry area away from incompatible substances.
There is no temperature limit for storage.
Section 8 Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Engineering Controls
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an
eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate ventilation to keep
airborne concentrations low.
Clothing
Avoid skin contact with potassium permanganat. Wear protective gloves
and clothing. Safety equipment suppliers/manufacturers can provide
recommendations on the most protective glove/clothing material for your
operation. All protective clothing (suits, gloves, footwear, headgear)
should be clean, available each day, and put on before work.
Eye Protection
a. Wear impact resistant eye protection with sideshields or goggles;
b. Wear a face shield along with goggles when working with corrosive,
highly irritating or toxic subtances;
c. Contact lenses should not be worn when working with this subtances.

Respiratory Protection
Improper use of respirators in dangerous.
