China High Basicity and High Al2O3 Content Aluminum Chlorohydrate (ACH) Manufacturers, Factories

Product Description

Core Features

  • High degree of polymerization: The basicity is higher than that of ordinary polyaluminum chloride (PAC), second only to aluminum hydroxide.
  • Higher pH value: The aqueous solution is weakly acidic (pH 4-5), less acidic than ordinary polyaluminum. As hot areas usually have more acidic water, the treatment effect of ACH is better. Chlorinated aluminum hydroxide is more suitable for the markets in Southeast Asia and the Americas.
  • Broad-spectrum applicability: It can effectively coagulate within the pH range of 5-9.5, reducing the dependence of water treatment on pH value.
  • High-efficiency flocculation: Through electrochemical, adsorption, precipitation and other processes, it rapidly removes suspended solids, heavy metal ions (such as iron, cadmium, lead, mercury), organic matter and radioactive pollutants.
  • Low dosage: The unit treatment effect is 30% better than that of ordinary polyaluminum chloride, reducing the dosage of chemicals and the amount of sludge generated.

Application Area

(1) Water Treatment

  • Drinking water purification: As a flocculant, it removes impurities such as turbidity, TOC (total organic carbon), iron, fluoride, cadmium, etc.
  • Industrial wastewater treatment: used for decolorization of printing and dyeing wastewater, oil removal from papermaking wastewater, heavy metal removal from electroplating wastewater, etc.
  • Sludge reduction: Reduces sludge production by over 50%, lowering treatment costs.

(2) Daily Chemicals and Personal Care

  • Antiperspirants and deodorants: Reduce sweat secretion by blocking sweat glands, inhibit bacterial growth, and are widely used in products such as roll-ons and sprays.
  • Cosmetic raw materials: Used in oil-control skin care products to regulate skin oil secretion.

(3) Industrial Applications

  • Precision casting: Used as a mold coagulant and flame retardant.
  • Paper industry: Improve paper strength, whiteness, and smoothness, and reduce fiber loss.
  • Rubber and Tanning: As a crosslinking agent and dimensional stabilizer.
  • Petroleum and Chemical Industry: Used for oil well profile control, drilling fluid additives, etc.

(4) Other Areas

  • Medicine: Ingredients of topical medications for treating hyperhidrosis.
  • Graphite products: Enhance fire resistance and physical and chemical properties.

Packaging and Storage

  • Liquid form (optional): 200L plastic drum / 1000L IBC tote / liquid bag.
  • Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight; the liquid has a shelf life of 1 year (when sealed) and does not hydrolyze over a long period of time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1.What is Aluminum Chlorohydrate (ACH) and what are its key features?

Aluminum Chlorohydrate (ACH) is a highly polymerized inorganic coagulant. It features a high basicity (>80%), higher pH value in aqueous solution (pH 4-5), and a broad-spectrum applicability within a pH range of 5-9.5, making it highly efficient for water purification with lower dosages compared to ordinary PAC.

Q2.Why is ACH more suitable for markets in Southeast Asia and the Americas?

As hot climatic areas usually present more acidic water, the higher pH value and lower acidity of ACH make it perform significantly better in these specific regional water conditions compared to conventional alternatives.

Q3.In what types of water treatment applications is ACH used?

ACH is used in drinking water purification (removing turbidity, organic carbon, heavy metals, etc.), industrial wastewater treatment (decolorization, oil removal, and heavy metal extraction), and sludge reduction operations where it can decrease sludge volume by over 50%.

Q4.Can ACH be used in daily cosmetic and personal care products?

Yes, ACH is widely utilized as an active raw ingredient in antiperspirants, deodorants, and oil-control skin care products due to its capability to reduce sweat gland secretion and inhibit bacterial growth.

Q5.What are the storage requirements and shelf life of ACH liquid?

ACH liquid should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. When kept sealed, it has a shelf life of up to 1 year and is highly stable against hydrolysis over extended periods.

Q6.What other industrial applications utilize ACH?

Beyond water treatment and cosmetics, ACH is utilized in precision casting as a mold coagulant, in the paper industry to improve paper properties, in rubber and tanning as a crosslinking agent, and in the petroleum industry as a drilling fluid additive.
