Product Specification

Poly Aluminium Chloride — PAC

PAC is a pre-hydrolysed aluminium coagulant that out-performs traditional alum — lower dose, wider working pH (about 5–9), faster floc formation, less sludge and lower residual aluminium. We supply spray-dried powder (30% Al₂O₃) for easy shipping and dosing, and liquid PAC (10% Al₂O₃) for plants dosing directly from bulk tanks. Potable-water grades conforming to IS 15573 limits are available, confirmed on the lot Certificate of Analysis.

PAC vs Alum: PAC needs a lower dose, works across a wider pH band, forms floc faster and generates less sludge than alum — though alum stays popular on price. Need iron-free alum instead? See our Non-Ferric Alum 17% page.

Applications

Key Industry Uses

Where water utilities and mills across Africa, the GCC and South Asia deploy PAC.

Drinking-Water Treatment
Primary coagulant for municipal potable water; clears turbidity with low residual aluminium across a wide pH range.
Sewage & Effluent
Coagulation–flocculation in municipal sewage and industrial wastewater; phosphate, COD and colour reduction.
Paper Sizing & Retention
Retention and drainage aid and sizing precipitant in paper and board manufacture.
Textile Dye Effluent
Colour and COD removal in textile dye-house effluent treatment ahead of discharge.
Oilfield & Industrial
Water clarification in drilling, sugar refining and industrial process-water circuits.
Faster Floc, Less Sludge
Pre-hydrolysed structure forms dense floc quickly, cutting coagulant dose and sludge volume versus alum.

Safety & Handling

Storage & Handling

PAC is not classified as dangerous for transport, but solutions are mildly acidic — keep powder dry.

🌧️

Keep Dry (Powder)
Hygroscopic; store sealed in a dry area. Store liquid PAC in vented HDPE/FRP tanks away from frost.

🧤

Mildly Acidic
Solutions are acidic (pH ~3.5–4.5); use gloves and goggles. Not classified as DG for transport.

🚫

Segregate from Alkalis
Reacts with strong alkalis. Keep apart from caustic soda and bicarbonate stores.

📄

GHS SDS Supplied
GHS-compliant SDS with every quotation; potable-grade COA (IS 15573) on request.
Africa, GCC & Asia Demand: Municipal water boards and effluent-treatment plants across East/West Africa and South Asia are switching from alum to PAC for lower dose and sludge. SNJ Exim supplies PAC alongside non-ferric alum so utilities and mills can trial and standardise with one Indian exporter.

Buyer FAQ

Common Questions

What is the difference between PAC and alum?
PAC is pre-hydrolysed, so it needs a lower dose, works across a wider pH range (about 5–9), forms floc faster and produces less sludge than alum. Alum stays popular on price. We supply both.
Do you supply powder and liquid PAC?
Yes. Spray-dried powder (30% Al₂O₃) ships at lower freight per tonne of active alumina; liquid PAC (10% Al₂O₃) suits plants dosing directly from bulk tanks. Both are certified on the lot COA.
Is your PAC suitable for drinking-water treatment?
Yes. Potable-water grade conforming to IS 15573 limits (alumina, basicity, heavy metals) is available and confirmed on each lot’s third-party COA.
Is PAC classified as dangerous goods?
No. PAC powder and liquid are not IMDG-regulated and ship as general cargo. Solutions are mildly acidic, so a GHS SDS is supplied with every shipment.
What is the minimum order quantity?
One full container load (~22–25 MT of powder per 20′ FCL) or one tanker/IBC load of liquid. Samples can be arranged for verified water-treatment buyers.
Which countries do you export PAC to?
Kenya, Nigeria, Tanzania, Ethiopia, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Egypt and South Africa, with full export documentation on every container.

Export Markets & Commercial Terms

Where We Supply

SNJ Exim ships powder and liquid Poly Aluminium Chloride in full-container loads from Ankleshwar, Gujarat to water boards and effluent-treatment plants across three regions.

We regularly export PAC to municipal water boards, sewage and effluent-treatment plants, and paper mills in Kenya, Nigeria, Tanzania and Ethiopia (East & West Africa); the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Oman (GCC); and Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Vietnam (South & Southeast Asia), alongside Egypt and South Africa. Every container leaves Gujarat with a complete export document set — Bill of Lading, third-party Certificate of Analysis (alumina, basicity and IS 15573 potable limits where required), Certificate of Origin and GHS Safety Data Sheet — so your water-quality compliance is covered on arrival.
