Aluminum Chlorohydrate By Fine Chemicals & Scientific Co.

Our range of Aluminum Chlorohydrate is a group of specific aluminium salts having the general formula Al2Cl(OH)5 AlnCl(3n-m)(OH)m. It is used indeodorants and antiperspirants and as a coagulant in water purification.
In water purification, this compound is preferred in some cases because of its high charge, which makes it more effective at destablizing and removing suspended materials than other aluminum salts such as aluminum sulfate, aluminum chloride and various forms of polyaluminum chloride and polyaluminum chlorisulfate, in which the aluminum structure results in a lower net charge than aluminum chlorohydrate. Further, the high degree of neutralization of the HCl results in minimal impact on treated water pH when compared to other aluminum and iron salts.
The variation most commonly used in deodorants and antiperspirants is Al2Cl(OH)5. Aluminium chlorohydrate is one of the most common active ingredients in commercial antiperspirants and is also often used as a flocculent in water treatment stations.
Alzheimer's disease
There have been studies that have found an association between exposure to aluminium and long-term use of antiperspirants and Alzheimer's disease, however the studies also have shown that the association is negligible.
