Aluminium Sulphate Granular 1000kg

Granular aluminum sulfate (alum) is a versatile chemical used mainly for water treatment (clarifying drinking water/wastewater), gardening (acidifying soil for blueberries/hydrangeas, slug control), and in the paper/textile industries (sizing, dyeing as a mordant). It also finds uses in firefighting foams, as a catalyst, in food processing, and for controlling algae in ponds.

Key Uses
Water Treatment: Acts as a coagulant, clumping impurities (flocculation) so they can be filtered out, ensuring clean water.
Gardening & Agriculture: Lowers soil pH for acid-loving plants (like hydrangeas, blueberries, rhododendrons) and can control slugs and snails.
Paper Manufacturing: Used as a sizing agent to control liquid absorption, improving paper quality.
Textile Industry: Functions as a mordant, helping dyes adhere to fabric and improving colorfastness.
Firefighting: Generates carbon dioxide to create foam for smothering hydrocarbon fires (though largely replaced by synthetic foams).
Pond Management: Broadcast granularly to treat algae and clarify pond water.
Food Industry: Used in small amounts for clarification, thickening, and as a leavening agent in baking.

How it Works (Examples)
In Water: It neutralizes charges on suspended particles, causing them to stick together into larger, settleable clumps.
In Soil: It releases aluminum ions, which plants take up, leading to blue coloration in flowers like hydrangeas and enhancing blue tones in conifers.

Aluminium Sulphate Granular 1000kg

• Aluminium sulphate is used in water purification and as a mordant in dyeing and printing textiles.
• In water purification, it causes suspended impurities to coagulate into larger particles and then settle to the bottom of the container (or be filtered out) more easily.
• This process is called coagulation or flocculation.
