Poly Aluminum Chloride
Poly Aluminum Chloride (PAC)
Product Overview
Poly Aluminum Chloride (PAC) is an inorganic polymer coagulant used in water and wastewater treatment. It helps destabilize suspended and colloidal particles and supports effective floc formation. PAC is available in both liquid and powder grades, depending on treatment requirements and supply specifications.
PAC can perform across a broad range of water conditions. Its pre-hydrolyzed structure can reduce the need for extensive alkalinity adjustment compared with some conventional coagulants. Treatment plants commonly select PAC based on raw water quality, required removal performance, basicity, aluminium oxide content, and process conditions.Source: https://guidelines.nhmrc.gov.au/australian-drinking-water-guidelines/part-5/treatment-chemicals/polyaluminium-chloride

Product Description
Key Properties
Commercial PAC grades vary by formulation and application. Typical specifications may include Al₂O₃ content, basicity, pH, density, appearance, and water-insoluble matter. Powder grades commonly contain around 28–30% Al₂O₃, while liquid grades are also available at different concentrations. Final specifications should always follow the supplier’s Certificate of Analysis (CoA).
PAC is supplied as a yellow to pale-yellow powder or as a clear to yellowish liquid. The exact appearance and analytical values depend on the grade and production process. Buyers should therefore confirm the required specification before placing an order.Source: https://www.takichem.co.jp/eng/products/water/pac.html
Applications
PAC is widely used for drinking water treatment, municipal wastewater treatment, industrial wastewater treatment, and industrial water clarification. It supports the removal of turbidity, suspended solids, and other impurities through coagulation and flocculation.
Industrial applications can also include water treatment processes in sectors such as paper manufacturing, textiles, and other industries that require clarification or wastewater treatment. The appropriate PAC grade depends on the characteristics of the water and the treatment process. Source: https://www.toshin-chemical.co.jp/en/products/polyaluminium-chloride/
Available Forms and Grades
PAC is available in powder and liquid forms. Powder products commonly use approximately 28–30% Al₂O₃ specifications, while liquid products may be supplied in different Al₂O₃ concentrations. Basicity also varies between grades and can influence coagulation performance and process requirements.
For international procurement, buyers should confirm the form, Al₂O₃ content, basicity, pH, insoluble matter, packaging, and applicable standard before shipment. Titan Prime Alliance Inc. can coordinate product specifications and commercial requirements with qualified supply sources. Source: https://www.wateringredients.com/products/pac
Packaging and Storage
Powder PAC is commonly packed in moisture-resistant bags, including 25 kg packaging. Liquid PAC can be supplied in suitable containers such as IBC tanks or bulk transport systems, depending on the grade and shipment requirements.
PAC should be protected from moisture, excessive heat, and unsuitable storage conditions. Packaging and storage requirements should follow the manufacturer’s SDS and product-specific instructions. Buyers should also review the CoA and SDS before shipment and handling. Source: https://eurokimia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/14-PDS-PAC-Poly-Aluminum-Chloride.pdf
Technical Resources
For procurement and technical evaluation, buyers may require a Technical Data Sheet (TDS), Safety Data Sheet (SDS), Certificate of Analysis (CoA), specification sheet, and applicable compliance documents. These documents help confirm whether the proposed PAC grade matches the treatment process and destination requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Poly Aluminum Chloride is mainly used as a coagulant in drinking water, wastewater, and industrial water treatment. It helps remove suspended and colloidal particles through coagulation and flocculation.
The main difference is the physical form and concentration. Powder PAC is commonly supplied at higher Al₂O₃ concentrations, while liquid PAC is supplied at different concentrations for direct dosing systems.
Al₂O₃ content indicates the aluminium oxide equivalent used to describe the aluminium concentration of the product. It is one of the key parameters used when comparing PAC grades.
Basicity describes the degree of hydroxylation in the aluminium polymer. It can affect coagulation behavior and the treatment conditions required by a particular water system.
Yes. PAC is used as a primary coagulant in drinking water treatment. However, the selected product must meet the applicable drinking-water requirements for the destination market and application.
Buyers should normally request the product specification, TDS, SDS, and batch-specific CoA. Additional compliance or certification documents may be required for drinking-water applications or specific destination markets.
