Aloxicoll® L

Chemical Properties

ALOXICOLL® powders are stable under non aqueous conditions. Aqueous / alcoholic solutions of ALOXICOLL® are slightly acidic. At pH values > 5, insoluble Al(OH)3 precipitates out. On drying, the residue decomposes to HCl and Al(OH)3. On further heating, to temperatures >100°C, Al(OH)3 releases water.

Physiological Properties

According to the application area and concentration applied, ALOXICOLL® exhibits sweat reducing, deodorant, astringent, antibacterial and antiphlogistic properties.

ALOXICOLL® L is primarily used in aqueous or aqueous/alcoholic formulations, e.g. in roll-ons and pump-sprays. It can also be used in emulsions, pre-shaves and skin tonics. ALOXICOLL® L forms clear solutions in formulations with alcohol concentrations up to 50% volume. Above this concentration, small quantities of Al(OH)3 may precipitate out.

ALOXICOLL® L is a Aluminum Chlorohydrates according to USP 36. The FDA Final Antiperspirant Monograph classifies ALOXICOLL® types under category 1, as safe and effective for use in all types of antiperspirant formulations.

ALOXICOLL® L is available in 150 kg and 275 kg PE-drums or in 1000 kg and 1300 kg containers.

ALOXICOLL® types can be stored for more than 3 years in original, unopened containers. ALOXICOLL® L solution should be protected from freezing, and storage at high temperatures should be avoided.
