Aluminium Hydroxide with moisture (5-7% typical)

Bisley has been a leading supplier of high quality Australian aluminium hydroxide since 1992. The aluminium hydroxide is produced by Rio Tinto Aluminium at its Yarwun refinery in Gladstone, Queensland.

Aluminium hydroxide is a white crystalline product. It is also known as hydrated alumina, aluminium hydrate or alumina tri-hydrate (ATH). It is typically used as a raw material for the production of other alumina based chemicals such as calcined alumina, aluminium sulfate, poly aluminium chloride (PAC), aluminium fluoride and synthetic zeolite. Its chemical formula is Al2O3•3H2O or Al(OH)3.
