Product: PAC; Aluminium chlorohydrate

 

Other names: PAC; Polyaluminium Chloride

 

CAS number: 1327-41-9

 

Safety:

The variation most commonly used in deodorants and antiperspirants is Al2Cl(OH)5. There is no

scientific evidence supporting widespread rumors that aluminium salts in deodorants can cause

Alzheimer’s disease or breast cancer. Amongst others, research published in the Journal of the

National Cancer Institute found no evidence whatsoever that these compounds increase the risk of breast cancer. However, aluminium is a neurotoxin that alters the function of the blood-brain

barrier, and it is one of the few abundant elements that appears to have no beneficial function to

living cells.

 

Brief introduction:

Aluminium chlorohydrate is a group of salts having the general formula AlnCl(3n-m)(OH)m. It is

used in deodorants and antiperspirants and as a flocculant in water purification. In water purification, where it is usually called polyaluminium chloride, this compound is preferred in some cases because the pHvalue can be varied according to the exact values chosen for the subscripts n and m in the pattern formula. Although many variations are used, an especially important combination is Al12Cl12(OH)24. The actual pHcorrelates to the formula m/(3n).
