A: It is a basic aluminum acetate salt — a white powder with the formula C₄H₇AlO₅ (Al(OH)(CH₃COO)₂) and a molecular weight of 162.08. CAS 142-03-0 is its unique registry number, which identifies the substance unambiguously worldwide.
A: It is White powder, essentially odorless, weakly acidic (pH approx. 4–5 as a 2% slurry). The freshly prepared hydrated form is soluble in water; the dried product is insoluble in water but soluble in inorganic acids. Decomposes upon heating or exposure to moisture; incompatible with strong oxidizing agents.
A: It is widely used in pharmaceuticals & personal care, Textile & printing, water treatment and other fields.
A: Store sealed in a cool, dry place under inert atmosphere; protect from moisture; keep away from strong oxidizing agents. It is generally shipped as non-dangerous goods.
Spillage: sweep up and place into a closed container; do not flush into drains or waterways.
Contact: eyes — rinse thoroughly with water;
skin — wash with soap and water;
inhalation — move to fresh air;
ingestion — rinse mouth and seek medical attention.
Its two classic uses are as an astringent/antiseptic in topical medicine and as a mordant in textile dyeing; it is also used in antiperspirants, phosphorus-removal water treatment and high-purity alumina production.
Leveraging its astringent and antiseptic properties, it is used in antiperspirants, skin astringents, disinfectants, and ointments for treating poison ivy / poison oak dermatitis. Its mechanism of action involves releasing aluminum ions that cross-link and precipitate epidermal proteins, forming a protective layer and reducing exudation. It is also used as a component of embalming fluids.
It is mainly used as a mordant to help dyes fix onto fabric fibers; it can also serve as a flame retardant and waterproofing agent in textile treatment. Compared with neutral aluminum acetate, basic aluminum acetate offers better hydrolysis stability, making its mordanting effect more controllable.
It is used as a coagulant/flocculant for phosphorus removal — aluminum-salt flocculation precipitates phosphate and effectively lowers its concentration in industrial and municipal wastewater.
