Aloxicoll® SD100

Chemical Properties

Activated ALOXICOLL® powders are stable under anhydrous 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.

Activated ALOXICOLL® powders are used in anhydrous formulations, e.g. in aerosols, roll-ons, soft solids, creams and sticks, where maximum antiperspirant efficacy is required. The enhanced efficacy can only be maintained in anhydrous systems, and contact with water should be avoided prior to application to the skin.

Activated ALOXICOLL® SD100 powder has a controlled maximum content of fine particles ( < 10 µm ). It is ideally suited for use in aerosol formulations, due to its excellent spray characteristics.

Activated ALOXICOLL® SD100 is an Aluminum Chlorohydrate 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.

Activated ALOXICOLL® SD100 powder is available in 75 kg PE drums.

Activated ALOXICOLL® powders can be stored for more than 3 years in original, unopened containers. Once opened, the materials should be used quickly and contact with moisture should be avoided.
