About Non Ferric Aluminium Sulphate
Non Ferric Alum (Aluminium Sulphate) is used mainly in the pulp and paper industry and purifying water for clarifying fats, oils and petroleum products. It also act as a leather tanning agent as a pH stabilizer applied to soils to make it less alkaline or to produce acid conditions. It is used as cement hardening accelerator; a mordant in dyeing anti-caking agent a fire extinguisher, a flame retardant additive and a foaming agent in firefighting foams.

Availability Superior Quality and PurityNon Ferric Aluminium Sulphate contains minimal iron impurities (Fe <0.02%), ensuring high effectiveness and suitability for applications where color and purity are critical. Its high aluminium content (Al2O3: 1617%) guarantees strong performance, especially in water treatment and paper sizing, where clarity and whiteness are paramount.
Versatile Applications Across IndustriesThis product is a key ingredient in water purification, the paper industry for sizing, as a mordant in textile dyeing, as well as for tannery and various industrial uses. Its high solubility and efficient flocculating properties enable removal of impurities and promote desired chemical reactions, providing consistent, reliable results in demanding environments.
Optimal Handling and LongevityPackaged securely in robust HDPE bags with inner liners, Non Ferric Aluminium Sulphate maintains its quality throughout its 1224 month shelf life when stored properly. Its stable, solid form (available as lumps, granules, or powder) ensures easy storage and handling, making it a practical choice for large-scale operations and distributors alike.
FAQs of Non Ferric Aluminium Sulphate:
Q: How is Non Ferric Aluminium Sulphate used in water treatment processes?
A: Non Ferric Aluminium Sulphate is added to water during the purification process to act as a flocculant. Its high flocculating power helps to aggregate suspended particles, making them easier to remove, thus clarifying the water and reducing contaminants.
Q: What are the main benefits of using Non Ferric Aluminium Sulphate over ferric variants?
A: The primary advantage is its low iron content (less than 0.02%), which prevents staining and maintains brightness, especially important in paper manufacturing and textile dyeing, where color quality is essential.
Q: What is the recommended storage process for this chemical to maintain its shelf life?
A: For maximum shelf life (1224 months), Non Ferric Aluminium Sulphate should be stored in a cool, dry place away from moisture. The HDPE bags with inner liners help protect the product, but it should not be exposed to direct contact with water or humidity.
Q: When should I use Non Ferric Aluminium Sulphate in my industrial application?
A: Use Non Ferric Aluminium Sulphate when you require a highly pure flocculant with minimal iron contamination, especially in sensitive applications such as water treatment, paper sizing, or dyeing, where color and chemical purity are crucial.
Q: Where can this product be sourced in India?
A: Non Ferric Aluminium Sulphate is widely available from manufacturers, suppliers, dealers, traders, and wholesalers across India. It can be ordered in standard 25 kg or 50 kg bags, and bulk supply is available upon request.
Q: What forms is Non Ferric Aluminium Sulphate available in, and does it affect its application?
A: The product is available as solid lumps, granules, or powder. The choice of form depends on the specific application needspowder is typically used for quicker solubility, while lumps and granules may suit bulk processes.
Q: What makes the product suitable for paper manufacturing and dyeing industries?
A: Its high purity, low iron levels, and strong flocculating ability ensure clarity, brightness, and consistent results in paper and textile processing, making it a preferred choice for high-quality production requirements.
