PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS:
Sodium Permanganate
Liquid sodium permanganate solutions:
Description
Aqueous sodium permanganate solutions are dark purple and odorless. Permanganate solutions are miscible with water in all proportions. The specific gravity of the solutions will vary with the concentration of sodium permanganate as shown in the following table:
% Sodium Permanganate by Weight Specific Gravity at 22°C
10 1.06
15 1.11
20 1.16
30 1.26
40 1.36
Chemical Requirements
- Liquid sodium permanganate solutions: The sodium permanganate content (percent NaMn04) of the delivered solution shall be as specified by the purchaser and may vary up to commercially available 40 percent NaMn04 by weight. Product must be BID, BILLED and DELIVERED by weight not volume. Vendors shall not manipulate the specific gravity of the product by any means. Any determination of a less active product will be means for termination of the contract.
- Supplier must provide technical support: Safety training, emergency spill support and on site jar testing for seasonal changes must all be provided if requested.
- Site: Due to the remote nature of the delivery site, drivers must be trained in the specific chemical product being delivered.
