Potassium Permanganate Spray Report

It has been 10 years since sandblasting was prohibited in Turkey. Following the prohibition, however, denim bleaching did not come to an end; instead, other methods took over.

The method most preferred was bleaching with the chemical potassium permanganate, due to its high production speed and low initial investment cost. Even though the European Chemical Agency (ECHA) strives to reclassify potassium permanganate in the category of “hazardous chemicals”, the dangerous effects of potassium permanganate on denim bleaching workers has not yet been investigated. This report is an outline of the first research carried out on the subject of potential harm caused by working with potassium permanganate. It aims to lay foundation for future legal regulatory implementation.
