Potassium permanganate is usually stored and transported in glass or plastic bottles. The benefits of using these containers include:

Corrosion resistance: Potassium permanganate is a strong oxidizing agent that can corrode metal containers, so glass bottles or plastic bottles can effectively prevent corrosion and ensure the stability of chemicals.

Transparency: The glass bottle is transparent, which can conveniently observe the color and status of potassium permanganate, and help check whether it has abnormal changes.

Sealing: Glass bottles or plastic bottles can be better sealed to prevent volatilization or leakage of potassium permanganate, reducing the harm to the environment and the human body.

Light and easy to carry: Compared with metal containers, glass or plastic bottles are lighter and easier to carry and operate.

Therefore, the choice of glass bottles or plastic bottles as potassium permanganate containers is to ensure the safe storage and transportation of chemicals, reducing potential dangers and risks.
