🧪 What Is Polyaluminium Chloride (PAC)? What Is It Used For?

Polyaluminium Chloride (PAC) is a high-performance inorganic coagulant widely used in water treatment, industrial processes, and environmental applications. It is formed by the polymerization of aluminum salts and is available in both powder and liquid forms.

🔬 Chemical Identity & Forms

⚙️ Mechanism of Action

PAC works through coagulation and flocculation:

• Coagulation: Neutralizes the surface charge of suspended particles, destabilizing them.

• Flocculation: Aggregates destabilized particles into larger flocs.

• Sedimentation: Flocs settle under gravity, clarifying the water.

PAC has high adsorption capacity and operates effectively across a wide pH range without requiring additional coagulant aids.

🏭 Applications

🌱 Advantages

• ✔️ High coagulation and flocculation efficiency

• ✔️ Effective across a wide pH range

• ✔️ Minimal sludge production

• ✔️ Fast solubility and low dosage requirement

• ✔️ Effective in removing arsenic, fluoride, and other toxic substances

• ✔️ No need for additional coagulant aids

⚠️ Considerations

• Always perform jar testing to determine optimal dosage.

• Overdosing may impact natural water bodies—use responsibly.

• Follow local regulations and safety guidelines.

⚠️ Cataloging & Compliance Tips

• Always list all relevant CAS numbers if the product is a blend or variant.

• Match form (powder/liquid) and Al₂O₃ content to CAS-specific specs.

• Include pH range, appearance, and packaging format in COA/offer tables.

• Flag regulatory overlaps (e.g., E 200 food additive designation for PAC).
