CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
| Physical Description | Barium permanganate appears as a purplish colored crystalline solid. Noncombustible, but accelerates burning of combustible material. Finely divided combustible materials may be explosive. May spontaneously ignite on contact with combustible liquids. Contact with sulfuric acid may result in fires or explosions. Used as a disinfectant and to make other permanganates. |
