Non Ferric Aluminium Sulfate GRANULAR 16% (Non-Ferrous) Chemical appearance:

Non-Ferric Aluminium Sulfate Granular 16% tends to cake when it comes into contact with an atmosphere containing high concentrations of moisture or when users pour water directly onto it. The product dissolves readily in water and does not pose a toxicity risk to users when handled appropriately.

The substance remains stable and does not react with most naturally occurring elements. However, it reacts with sodium bicarbonate and produces a thick blanket of carbon dioxide. Manufacturers add a foam stabilizer to this reaction to create a stable carbon dioxide layer that effectively prevents oxygen from reaching the burning material. This application makes aluminium sulfate a common component in certain fire-extinguishing systems used in Japan and India.

The food industry also uses aluminium sulfate as a firming agent, particularly in starch processing. The industry commonly identifies this substance as E520. Animal-feed manufacturers use it to control bacteria that may be present in feed.

Aluminium sulfate also serves as a deodorant and an antiseptic for small, superficial wounds. Researchers have also found that it can enhance vaccine immunogenicity in people with weakened immune responses.

Water-treatment facilities commonly use aluminium sulfate for water purification. The substance reacts with metal elements and other impurities in water to form insoluble compounds. These particles settle at the bottom of the treatment vessel, where operators can remove them through filtration or other separation methods. This process, known as flocculation or coagulation, plays an important role in water treatment and purification.
