General description

Aluminum(III) chloride hexahydrate is a non-flammable compound that appears as white to off white powder or crystals. It is highly soluble in water and also dissolves in alcohol, ether, glycerol, propylene glycol, and acetonitrile. This compound has a wide range of applications, including use in deodorants and antiperspirants, refining crude oil, dyeing fabrics, manufacturing parchment paper, textile finishing and wood preservation. We provide Aluminum chloride hexahydrate with a purity of ≥99.9% trace metals basis. This reagent significantly reduces the presence of impurities, ensuring reliable and reproducible results in experiments and applications. Such high purity is crucial for sensitive analytical techniques and various applications in materials science.

Application

Aluminum chloride hexahydrate can be utilized in the synthesis of aluminum nanoparticles through reduction processes. These nanoparticles have significant applications in catalysis, drug delivery, and as additives in various materials. Aluminum chloride hexahydrate serves as an effective catalyst in various organic synthesis reactions, including Friedel-Crafts acylation and alkylation. This compound is employed in water treatment processes, particularly in coagulation and flocculation to remove impurities and enhance water quality. Its effectiveness in these applications is crucial for developing materials that address environmental and public health challenges.
