- View the record
A value with no row here was assembled from more than one record, so no single record is credited for it. The draft you buy carries this table as an appendix covering all 16 sections.

- ECHA C&L Inventory — harmonised CLP entry
- Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
- PubChem — GHS classification

Sections 1.3 and 1.4 are withheld here because the supplier and emergency contact blocks carry your own company details in the draft you buy. Every draft needs review by a competent person before it is issued.
Measured values for Potassium permanganate, and where each one comes from
8 measured values for 3 properties, read from 2 public databases. On 1 property the records differ. Each reading is shown with its own record. Follow any record to read the value at its source.
Density
2 records differ
Needed to convert between mass and volume on the label, in transport papers and in a spill estimate.
- 2.7 g/cu cm
- Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
Solubility
5 records, each a different case
Determines spill behaviour, the right extinguishing media and the correct first-aid rinse.
- Soluble in many organic solvents; also by concentrated acids with the liberation of oxygen
- Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
- Soluble in acetone and methanol
- Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
- Soluble in acetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, acetic anhydride, pyridine, benzonitrile, sulfolane
- Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
- In water, 6.40X10+4 mg/l @ 20 °C
- Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
- 25 g/100 @ 65 °C water

Odour
1 record
Odour is a warning property only. Many substances are hazardous well below the concentration you can smell.
These are the public records read for Potassium permanganate, published here unchanged. Where two records disagree, the draft you buy states the value and names the record behind it, so a reviewer can see what was chosen. Every draft needs review by a competent person before it is issued.
