Aluminium Chloride Hydroxide CAS# 12042-91-0
Aluminum Chlorohydrate (ACH) is a complex inorganic salt categorized as basic aluminum chloride. It is a soluble aluminum complex. Its antiperspirant mechanism relies on precipitation inside eccrine sweat glands, where it forms insoluble aluminum hydroxide to obstruct these glands.

Product Application of Aluminum Chlorohydrate
Aluminum hydroxide chloride is an inorganic polymeric flocculant featuring powerful adsorption capability, high flocculation efficiency and wide pH adaptability. It is widely used in water treatment for the purification of municipal sewage, industrial effluents such as textile dyeing, electroplating and papermaking wastewater, as well as potable water. It can effectively adsorb suspended solids, colloids and heavy metal ions, lowering turbidity, COD and colour, while maintaining a low residual aluminum level in treated water.
