Aluminum Hydroxide: the Industrial Master Key for Many Applications

Aluminum Hydroxide: the Industrial Master Key for Many Applications

Aluminum hydroxide (chemical formula Al(OH)₃), as a hydroxide of aluminum, has shown excellent adaptability and functionality in the industrial field due to its unique amphoteric characteristics (it can react with both acid and strong base to form salt and water). It is not only the basic raw material of aluminum industry, but also the indispensable core material of many key industries.

Core advantages: Multifunctional chemical properties and green attributes

The amphoteric characteristics of aluminum hydroxide make it easy to work in acid-base systems, while its thermal decomposition and endothermic characteristics (water vapor release at about 220°C) give it a natural flame retardant advantage. As a representative of the green transformation of the aluminum industry, aluminum hydroxide production has no harmful by-products in the whole process, which meets the needs of global sustainable development.

Main application areas: from traditional industry to emerging technology comprehensive coverage

I.Flame retardant materials: the guardian of the field of safety

Aluminum hydroxide is the world's most widely used inorganic flame retardant, through the endothermic decomposition mechanism to reduce the surface temperature of the material, while forming a dense alumina protective barrier to prevent oxygen. In the plastic industry, it is widely used in polyethylene, polypropylene and PVC wire and cable, both flame retardant and physical property enhancement function; In the field of rubber products, it can improve the heat resistance and mechanical strength of automobile tires and hose; In building materials, as a key component of fireproof coating and flame retardant plate, it provides the underlying guarantee for building safety.

II.Paper industry: quality and cost balance master

As a paper filler, aluminum hydroxide can significantly improve the whiteness, opacity and printing suitability of paper, reduce the amount of wood pulp, thus saving costs. In the production of high-end wrapping paper, its micron particle size distribution can enhance the gloss and wear resistance of paper coating, and extend the service life of the product.

III.Medicine and health: the double protection of precise effect

In the field of medicine, aluminum hydroxide gel, as a classic antacid drug, can quickly neutralize gastric acid and treat gastric ulcer and gastritis; At the same time, its biocompatibility makes it an ideal choice for new vaccine adjuvants, which can enhance the efficiency of immune response and provide material support for biomedical innovation.

IV.Water treatment: an efficient assistant for environmental purification

Aluminum hydroxide flocculation removes suspended particles and heavy metal ions in water through electrostatic adsorption, especially for lead, cadmium and other toxic metals with efficient precipitation capacity, helping industrial wastewater discharge standards and drinking water safety.

V.New energy and electronic materials: Key puzzle pieces for future industries

In the field of lithium-ion batteries, high-purity aluminum hydroxide as a diaphragm material can improve the thermal stability and safety of batteries. In the production of electronic components, its insulation and heat dissipation characteristics make it a key raw material for chip packaging and circuit board manufacturing, promoting the development of new energy vehicles and 5G communication industry.

VI.High-end trend: technological innovation leads industrial upgrading

With the breakthrough of purification technology, the purity of electronic grade aluminum hydroxide can reach 99.99%, meeting the demanding requirements of semiconductor and liquid crystal display panel. At the same time, the research and development of nano-scale aluminum hydroxide has significantly improved its dispersion and strengthening effect in composite materials, and further expanded the application boundary.

Choosing aluminum hydroxide is not only a basic chemical raw material, but also the core key to unlock cross-industry solutions and a green future. We are committed to providing customers with full-cycle solutions from ore to end products through collaboration between technological innovation and industrial chain, and jointly shaping a new material era of sustainable development.
