Aluminum Sulfate
CAS 10043-01-3Al2(SO4)3342.15 g/mol
Aluminum sulfate is primarily used in water treatment to facilitate the coagulation of impurities into settleable particles in municipal facilities, boreholes, and wastewater treatment plants. Known also as aluminium sulphate, it provides efficient flocculation, making it invaluable in regions with high urbanization like Kenya and East Africa. This compound is particularly noted for its high-purity, iron-free formulation, suitable for diverse industrial applications.

Frequently asked questions
What is the CAS number of Aluminum Sulfate?
The CAS registry number for Aluminum Sulfate is 10043-01-3. Its chemical formula is Al2(SO4)3, with a molecular weight of 342.15 g/mol. Quote this number when requesting a quotation or checking documentation, as it identifies the substance unambiguously regardless of the trade name used.
What are the other names for Aluminum Sulfate?
Aluminum Sulfate is also referred to as aluminium sulphate, alum and papermaker’s alum. These names describe the same substance, so a specification or enquiry written against any of them can be matched to this product.
What grade of Aluminum Sulfate is supplied?
Aluminum Sulfate is supplied as Industrial grade. State the grade your process requires when requesting a quotation — where an alternative grade can be sourced, it is confirmed at quotation stage rather than assumed.
What is the purity of Aluminum Sulfate?
The purity/assay figure recorded for Aluminum Sulfate is 17% Al2O3, iron-free. Figures are typical values for the grade supplied; the certificate of analysis for your specific batch is the authoritative record and can be provided on request.
What does Aluminum Sulfate look like?
Aluminum Sulfate is described as white or off-white granular solid. Appearance is a useful first check on receipt of goods, though it does not replace the certificate of analysis for confirming that the material meets specification.
What is Aluminum Sulfate used for?
Common applications include water treatment in municipal plants, wastewater treatment in industries, paper manufacturing, textile dyeing as a mordant, leather tanning and cement setting in construction. The suitability of the product for a particular process depends on the grade and specification required, which is worth confirming against your own process conditions.
Which industries use Aluminum Sulfate?
Aluminum Sulfate is supplied to the Water Treatment, Agriculture & Agrochemicals, Construction & Admixtures, Cosmetics & Personal Care and Textile & Leather Tanning sectors. These are the industries this product is listed against in our catalogue; if your application falls outside them, we can advise on suitability before you order.
What packaging is Aluminum Sulfate available in?
Aluminum Sulfate is supplied in 25 kg bags. Where a different pack size or bulk delivery is required, it is confirmed at quotation stage against availability rather than listed here as standard.
