Aluminum Chlorohydrate

CAS Number: 12042-91-0

Aluminum Chlorohydrate is an inorganic polymer, best known as the key ingredient in antiperspirants and water purification agents.

Characteristics:

Appearance: Typically white or light yellow granules, powder, or liquid.

Solubility: Soluble in water.

Chemical Property: It is an effective coagulant due to its strong charge neutralization and bridging adsorption capabilities. It is weakly acidic.

Core Function: It works by temporarily plugging sweat ducts and absorbing moisture, thereby reducing sweat production.

Applications:

Personal Care: The primary use is as the active ingredient in antiperspirants and deodorants.

Water Treatment: Used as a highly effective flocculant for purifying drinking water and industrial wastewater.

Paper Industry: Acts as a thickening and retention agent.

Petrochemical Industry: Used as a catalyst.

Storage:

Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area.

Keep away from ignition sources, heat, and incompatible materials such as strong oxidizers and strong bases.

Liquid products should be protected from freezing.
