Aluminium Chloride

High-Purity Aluminium Chloride | Industrial & Technical Grades | UK & European Distribution

Technical Specifications

Aluminium Chloride (CAS No. 7446-70-0 anhydrous, 7784-13-6 hexahydrate) is an inorganic Lewis acid available in solid crystalline powder or concentrated liquid solution formats. Highly reactive and hygroscopic, it acts as a powerful catalyst and coagulating agent across demanding industrial chemical reactions and thermal processing environments.

Commercial Applications & Chemical Catalysis

Extensively utilized in foundry operations and metal treatment, Aluminium Chloride serves as a refining flux, surface treating compound, and chemical intermediate. In organic synthesis, it acts as a premier Friedel-Crafts catalyst for petrochemical, pigment, and pharmaceutical intermediate manufacturing.

Industrial Operations & Supply Formats

Across specialized horticultural formulations and heavy-duty industrial detergent production, Aluminium Chloride acts as an additive, pH conditioner, and processing aid. Supplied in full compliance with European regulatory standards, distribution options cover small drums, IBCs, multi-wall bags, and bulk tanker deliveries.
