Buyer intent coverage
Poly aluminium chloride (PAC) — what it is, where it is used, how it is chosen
Poly aluminium chloride is a pre-hydrolysed inorganic coagulant supplied as a liquid solution or spray-dried powder. It is specified by Al2O3 content and basicity, and is widely used in place of alum because it works over a wider pH band and consumes less alkalinity.
Primary uses
- Coagulating turbidity and colour in drinking-water treatment
- Phosphorus removal and clarification in wastewater
- Sludge conditioning and dewatering support
- Clarification in pulp, paper and industrial process water
Applications
- Municipal drinking-water plants
- Municipal and industrial wastewater clarification
- Pulp and paper white-water treatment
- Food and beverage effluent pre-treatment
- Pool and recreational water clarification
Advantages
- Effective across a broader pH range than aluminium sulphate
- Lower alkalinity consumption, which reduces pH-correction chemical use
- Produces a faster-forming, denser floc at comparable dose in many waters
- Performs better than alum at low water temperature — relevant to Canadian winter operation
Limitations to consider
- Performance is water-specific — jar testing is required before dose selection
- Liquid grades are corrosive and require compatible dosing materials
- Liquid grades have freezing and storage-temperature constraints
How to choose the right grade
- Specify Al2O3 content and basicity, not just 'PAC'
- Choose liquid or powder based on dosing infrastructure and freight distance
- Jar test against your raw water before fixing the dose
- Confirm potable-water suitability documentation where the end use requires it
Typical grades
- Liquid solution grades at stated Al2O3 and basicity
- Spray-dried powder grades
- Higher-basicity aluminium chlorohydrate family
Comparable materials — how Poly aluminium chloride (PAC) sits against alternatives
- Aluminium sulphate (alum) — lower cost, narrower effective pH window
- Ferric chloride / ferric sulphate — iron-based coagulation, different sludge profile
- Polyamine and polyDADMAC — organic coagulants, often used in combination
Comparable-material reference. Grade selection is confirmed at RFQ against your process.
Procurement coverage
How to specify, order and receive Poly aluminium chloride (PAC)
Written for procurement, quality and technical buyers in Canada and the United States. No numeric price, MOQ, stock or lead-time value is published — those are confirmed per shipment in the quotation and against the confirmed batch.
How buyers specify at RFQ
- Al2O3 percentage and basicity
- Liquid or powder
- Raw-water characteristics and target turbidity
- Whether potable-water documentation is required
Packaging options (industry-standard)
- IBC or drum for liquid grades
- Bulk tanker for high-volume liquid users
- Multi-wall bag for spray-dried powder
- Packaging options and available pack sizes are confirmed with each quotation.
Storage & handling
- Store liquid grades above their freezing point and in compatible materials
- Use corrosion-resistant dosing lines and pumps
- Keep powder grades sealed and dry
Documentation available
- Technical data sheet (TDS) for the offered grade
- Safety data sheet (SDS) in the format required for Canadian import
- Certificate of analysis (COA) against the confirmed batch
- Documentation is confirmed per batch at quotation; availability depends on the grade and supplier offered.

Technical & procurement detail
Where poly aluminium chloride is used+
Poly aluminium chloride is an inorganic coagulant used for turbidity, colour and suspended-solids removal. Basicity, alumina content and liquid or powder form vary by grade and are confirmed against supplier documentation.
Application areas are quoted separately+
Municipal water, industrial process water, wastewater, boiler and cooling water, reverse osmosis and swimming pool applications are treated as distinct specifications. Products supplied for one of these duties are not presented as interchangeable with another. State the intended application in your enquiry so the correct specification is reviewed with the supplier.
How specifications are confirmed+
Allzone does not publish assumed purity, concentration, active content, packaging, origin, certification or regulatory approval values. The grade, specification and documentation are confirmed in writing against supplier technical data sheets and safety data sheets before an order is placed. Request the technical data sheet and safety data sheet for the exact grade under consideration.
Frequently asked questions
What grade of poly aluminium chloride do you supply?+
The grade and specification are confirmed at quotation against the supplier technical data sheet. No purity, concentration or certification value is published in advance.
Can I request a technical data sheet and a safety data sheet?+
Yes. Both the supplier technical data sheet and the safety data sheet for the quoted grade are provided on request and should be reviewed before purchase and use.
Do you deliver poly aluminium chloride across Ontario and Quebec?+
Yes. Freight is arranged across Toronto, the GTA, Ontario, Quebec and Western Canada, and the delivery method is confirmed with the quotation.
What quantities can you supply?+
Quantities are reviewed per enquiry, from smaller lots to container loads.
