About Aluminium Sulphate 17% (Industrial Grade)

Aluminium Sulphate 17% (commonly called Alum) is a key inorganic chemical widely utilized for its coagulation properties. In water treatment, it aids in removing suspended solids by causing particle aggregation, improving water clarity and quality. It is also essential in paper manufacturing where it helps in sizing and strengthening paper fibers. Finstar Chemicals supplies this product in durable 25kg bags ideal for handling and storage in industrial settings. Its industrial grade ensures consistent performance and compatibility with common water treatment and industrial manufacturing systems. Handling requires precautions against dust inhalation and moisture exposure; it should be stored in cool, dry environments away from incompatible substances. Finstar distributes to clients across East Africa and supports procurement teams with technical advice to optimize dosage rates and avoid process upsets. Users benefit from the chemical’s stability and reliable coagulation effect at standard dosages, improving operational efficiency and reducing downtime.

Applications

Water Treatment CoagulationUsed to destabilize and aggregate suspended particles in water, enabling their removal in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment.
Paper ManufacturingActs as a sizing agent and helps improve paper strength by reacting with rosin and cellulose fibers.
Textile DyeingFunctions as a mordant to fix dyes on fabrics, enhancing color fastness in textile processing.
Soil StabilizationUsed in construction to improve soil binding properties, reducing dust and increasing load-bearing capacity.

Benefits

Improved Water ClarityThe coagulation reaction precipitates colloidal impurities, enabling clearer potable and process water.
Enhanced Paper QualitySulfate ions react in the sheet formation stage, stabilizing rosin sizing for better water resistance and durability.
Reduced Dye Fixation TimeAs a mordant, it accelerates dye bonding to fibers, cutting processing time and improving production throughput.
Long Storage StabilityDry granular form with moisture resistance maintains quality during prolonged storage in tropical warehouse conditions.
