Product Description
Poly Aluminium Chloride (PAC) is a versatile inorganic polymer widely used for coagulation and flocculation in water and wastewater treatment. This medium basicity coagulant effectively removes turbidity and suspended solids by facilitating rapid floc formation. It appears as a yellowish free-flowing powder, highly soluble in water, and is used across water purification, paper manufacturing, mining, and dye processing industries in East Africa. PAC reduces chemical consumption due to its high charge neutralization capacity and supports improved operational efficiency.
