Aluminum Chloride Anhydrous
- Anhydrous Aluminium Chloride (ACA), a compound of Aluminium and Chloride, is solid at ambient temperatures.
- Manufacturing Process: ACA is manufactured by direct exothermic reaction of chlorine with pure grade Aluminium under controlled process parameters, in a closed automated system avoiding contact of product with air.
- Grades: ACA is offered in the following grades depending upon particle-size distribution of the material.
- Granule Type: 1-5mm/2-5mm/5-10mm
- Powder Type: 0-1mm/0-2mm
- Further differentiation of the above grades is done on as per varied parameter of customer.
- Certifications:
- Manufactured in all three units covered under REACH certification @tonnage band of 1000+ TPY 2.
- All units having ISO 9001, 14001, 18001 certifications.
