  • Applications

    Niacin aluminum (CAS number 1976-28-9) is typically used as an intermediate in chemical synthesis and as a functional additive in formulation systems. It can act as a chelating agent to bind metal ions, as a stabilizer in certain polymer and coating formulations, and as a processing aid in plastics, adhesives, and inks. It may also serve as a corrosion-inhibiting additive in metal-processing fluids, with use governed by local regulations and formulation limits.
