Description :

Overview of Aluminium Chloride Anhydrous

Aluminium Chloride Anhydrous is a highly reactive inorganic Lewis acid widely used in petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, dyes, pigments, agrochemicals, and specialty industrial chemical manufacturing. Chemically represented by the formula AlCl₃, the anhydrous form is water-free and significantly more reactive than its hydrated counterpart, making it essential for catalytic and synthesis applications.

In appearance, Aluminium Chloride Anhydrous is typically a white to pale yellow crystalline powder that fumes in moist air due to hydrolysis. It is highly soluble in organic solvents and reacts vigorously with water. Because of its strong catalytic properties, it is extensively used in Friedel–Crafts reactions, polymerisation processes, and organic synthesis. Handling is always done under controlled industrial conditions.
