  • Applications

    Chemical name: Sodium aluminate; CAS number: 1302-42-7 has practical applications across water treatment, cement and concrete, cleaning formulations, and as a precursor for aluminum-containing materials; in municipal and industrial water treatment, it acts as a coagulant aid to promote flocculation and help remove suspended solids and phosphates; in cement and concrete, it is used as a setting accelerator and admixture to adjust hydration; in cleaning formulations, it serves as an alkalinity source and processing aid to enhance cleaning performance; as a precursor for aluminum-containing materials such as alumina, zeolites, and catalysts used in ceramics, coatings, and industrial catalysis.
