Aluminium Chlorohydrate (ACH) CAS 12042-91-0, Cosmetic/Industrial Grade

Aluminum Chlorohydrate (ACH, Basic Aluminum Chloride, INCI: ALUMINUM CHLOROHYDRATE, CAS:12042-91-0,EINECS:234-933-1, HS Code:3824999990, molecular formula Al₂(OH)₅Cl·2H₂O, MW:210.48) is a pre-polymerized inorganic aluminum salt produced via controlled hydrolysis reaction of high-purity aluminum metal with hydrochloric acid, followed by concentration or spray drying. We offer two mainstream specifications: cosmetic grade (low iron, ultra-low heavy metals) and industrial grade, both available in liquid and powder forms. Our cosmetic grade ACH strictly complies with China Cosmetic Safety Technical Specification (2015 Edition), EU REACH and US FDA regulations, featuring 80-85% basicity and excellent skin compatibility. As the most widely used antiperspirant active ingredient globally, it forms a temporary gel plug in sweat ducts to reduce perspiration. In industrial applications, it serves as a high-efficiency coagulant with lower residual aluminum than traditional aluminum salts.

Applications
Cosmetic & Personal Care Industry (Core Application for Cosmetic Grade)
Primary active ingredient in antiperspirants: roll-ons, aerosols, sticks, creams and gels, providing 20-60% sweat reduction efficacy
Deodorant component with mild antibacterial properties, inhibiting odor-causing bacteria growth
Astringent in facial toners and oily skin care products, tightening pores and reducing sebum secretion
Approved for global use at maximum concentrations up to 25% (as Al₂O₃) in finished cosmetic products
Water Treatment Industry (Core Application for Industrial Grade)
High-efficiency coagulant for municipal drinking water treatment, producing lower residual aluminum than aluminum sulfate
Industrial wastewater treatment: removes suspended solids, COD, BOD and heavy metals from textile, printing and papermaking wastewater
Pre-treatment agent for reverse osmosis systems and swimming pool water purification
Paper & Textile Industry
Retention aid and sizing precipitant in papermaking, improving paper strength and reducing filler loss
Mordant in textile dyeing and printing, enhancing dye fixation and color fastness
Antistatic agent for synthetic fibers
Other Industrial Applications
Tanning agent in leather processing
Cement accelerator and waterproofing agent
Catalyst component in organic synthesis
