Non-Ferric Aluminium Sulphate

Product Introduction

Non-Ferric Aluminium Sulphate – Product Introduction
Non-Ferric Aluminium Sulphate is a white, high-purity crystalline chemical used largely in water treatment, paper manufacturing, and dyeing of textiles. With low iron impurities (≤ 0.005%) and high alumina content (≥ 16%), it ensures clean processing without colouration. Its high coagulating property makes it suitable for the manufacture of clear water, bright paper, and brilliant textiles.
