Beyond Water: Unveiling the Diverse Applications of Aluminum Chlorohydrate
While Aluminum Chlorohydrate (ACH) is widely acclaimed for its efficacy in water purification and wastewater treatment, its utility extends far beyond these critical applications. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is proud to highlight the diverse roles ACH plays in various other industrial sectors, demonstrating its versatility as a high-performance chemical.
One significant area where ACH proves invaluable is the paper industry. Here, ACH functions as an essential sizing agent, improving the paper's resistance to water and ink penetration. It also acts as a precipitation agent for other sizing chemicals, ensuring their effective application. Furthermore, ACH serves as a retention aid and drainage aid, helping to retain fine particles and fillers within the paper web during the manufacturing process, thereby improving paper yield and quality. Its ability to act as an anionic garbage scavenger also helps in removing unwanted impurities that can affect paper brightness and printability.
In the realm of cosmetics and personal care, ACH is recognized for its astringent properties. It is a common active ingredient in antiperspirants and deodorants, where it works by temporarily blocking sweat ducts, thereby reducing perspiration. This application leverages ACH's ability to interact with proteins on the skin's surface to create a temporary plug.
The unique chemical properties of ACH, such as its high charge density and ability to interact with various substrates, also lend themselves to other niche industrial uses. For instance, in some paint and coating formulations, it can be used as a stabilizer or adhesion promoter. Certain leather tanning processes also utilize ACH to enhance the binding of tanning agents to the leather fibers, improving the leather's strength and durability.
The versatility of Aluminum Chlorohydrate underscores its importance as a multifaceted chemical compound. While its primary application remains in ensuring clean water, its contributions to the paper industry and cosmetic formulations highlight its broad industrial relevance. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is committed to exploring and delivering the full spectrum of benefits that ACH offers to its diverse clientele.
