Detailed Product Overview

Aluminium Sulphate is a chemical compound with the formula Al2(SO4)3. It appears as a white crystalline solid and is highly soluble in water. The compound is produced through the reaction of aluminium hydroxide with sulfuric acid, resulting in a material that is effective in coagulation and flocculation processes. In water treatment, Aluminium Sulphate encourages the aggregation of suspended particles, allowing them to settle out of the water. This makes it an essential component in the treatment of drinking water and wastewater. The product's efficiency and effectiveness in removing impurities make it a staple in the chemical supply industry, particularly in East Africa where water treatment needs are growing.
