Description

Aluminium Chloride Dihydroxide is an inorganic aluminum salt widely utilized as a versatile chemical intermediate and active ingredient. Its primary commercial value lies in its role as a precursor for aluminum-based compounds and its efficacy in specialized industrial processes. This product is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, personal care, and water treatment industries seeking a reliable source of high-purity aluminum chemistry.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and as an active agent in certain antacid formulations.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Serves as a key ingredient in antiperspirants and deodorants due to its astringent properties.
• Water Treatment Coagulant: Acts as an effective flocculating agent for the purification of drinking water and treatment of industrial wastewater.
• Catalyst & Chemical Synthesis: Employed as a catalyst or precursor in various organic synthesis reactions and the production of other aluminum compounds.
• Paper Manufacturing: Used as a retention aid and sizing agent to improve paper quality and production efficiency.
• Textile Industry: Functions as a mordant in dyeing processes to improve color fastness on fabrics.
