Industrial Grade Aluminum Hydroxide

وصف

Industrial Grade Aluminum Hydroxide, chemical formula Al(OH)3, white solid, insoluble in water, soluble in acid or alkali, is a typical amphoteric hydroxide. After heating and dehydration in air, it can be transform into aluminum oxide, which is of great significance to the production of aluminum oxide. Aluminum hydroxide can react with both acid to generate salt and water and with strong alkali to generate salt and water, so it is an amphoteric hydroxide

Aluminum hydroxide (Al(OH)₃) has a wide range of applications in industry, and its role covers many fields, including flame retardants, refractory materials, abrasives, and ceramic applications.

The following are some of the main roles of Industrial Grade Aluminum Hydroxide in industry:

Catalyst: Aluminum hydroxide can be use as a catalyst in certain chemical reactions to promote the reaction.

Filler and flame retardant: Due to its good insulation and high temperature resistance, Industrial Grade Aluminum Hydroxide is widely use as a filler and flame retardant for materials such as plastics and rubber.

It can improve the mechanical strength and fire resistance of the material.

Flocculant: In the water treatment process, aluminum hydroxide can be use as a flocculant to help remove suspend particles and impurities in water and improve water quality3.

Dyeing media, waterproofing and glass manufacturing

In addition to the above uses, aluminum hydroxide also has other industrial applications, such as as a dyeing media, waterproofing agent and additive in glass manufacturing.

Flame retardant: Industrial Grade Aluminum Hydroxide is the largest and most widely used inorganic flame retardant additive.

It is not only flame retardant, but also prevents smoke, does not produce dripping, and does not produce toxic gases.

Therefore, it has been widely used in industries such as thermosetting plastics, thermoplastics, synthetic rubber, coatings and building materials.

Refractory materials: Although aluminum hydroxide itself is not a refractory material, it can be convert into aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) by calcination, which is an important raw material for making refractory materials.

Alumina is used to produce refractory materials such as refractory boards, refractory bricks, and thermal insulation. These materials are mainly use in the metallurgical industry, such as for the masonry of steel kilns.

Abrasives: Industrial Grade Aluminum Hydroxide can be use as an abrasive, especially due to its high hardness, which is suitable for abrasives and cutting tools. In addition, it can also be use as a special abrasive for polishing and grinding stainless steel.

Ceramics: Aluminum oxide can be widely use in the production of ceramics. Alumina ceramics have many excellent properties, such as high mechanical strength, high insulation resistance, high hardness, wear resistance, corrosion resistanceand high temperature resistance.

In addition, alumina can also be use as electronic ceramics, such as vacuum devices, circuit substrates, spark plug insulation ceramics, etc.

Surface modification: In the papermaking industry, aluminum hydroxide fillers are mainly use as surface coatings, fillers, and the production of non-combustible paper. This not only improves the quality of paper, but also increases its safety.

As a multifunctional compound, aluminum hydroxide has a wide range of uses in the industrial field. From catalysts and flame retardants in industry to water treatment and the preparation of ceramic materials, the application of aluminum hydroxide demonstrates its unique chemical properties and diverse industrial value.
