Aluminum Sulfate
Aluminum Sulfate (Product Code: SCI-453/166) is an analytical reagent grade aluminium salt used to demonstrate coagulation in water treatment and to test for aluminium ions in school and college chemistry laboratories. Chemistry and environmental science teachers order it as a 200 g pack that comes with its MSDS. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a laboratory chemicals supplier in India.

What Is Aluminum Sulfate Used For?
Aluminium sulfate is the coagulant used at many drinking-water plants, and a class can reproduce the process in a beaker. Stirred into muddy water that contains a little alkali, such as lime water, it forms a fluffy aluminium hydroxide floc that traps suspended clay and settles, leaving clearer water ready for filtration. Setting a treated and an untreated beaker side by side makes coagulation, sedimentation and filtration easy to compare.
In salt analysis, a solution of the salt gives a white gelatinous precipitate with sodium hydroxide that dissolves again in excess, the usual test for the aluminium ion, while barium chloride confirms the sulfate. Its solution is acidic because the aluminium ion hydrolyses, a handy example when a chemistry teaching kit covers why salt solutions are not always neutral. Wear goggles and gloves, as the solid and its solution irritate the eyes.
What to Specify When Ordering
- The number of 200 g packs needed for each laboratory or store.
- Any hydration state or molar mass your method requires, so we can confirm the form of the batch.
- Companion reagents, such as sodium hydroxide or barium chloride, to be quoted on the same enquiry.
- The delivery location in India or abroad.
Supplier
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, sources Aluminum Sulfate for schools, colleges and environmental science laboratories and sends every 200 g pack with its MSDS. Filter paper, funnels and the reagents for the aluminium-ion test are in the same catalogue, so a complete water-treatment practical can come from one supplier for buyers in India and international markets.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Aluminum Sulfate SCI-453/166 used for?
Aluminum Sulfate SCI-453/166 is used mainly to demonstrate coagulation in water treatment and as a source of aluminium ions in qualitative analysis. It is analytical reagent grade, packed as 200 g and supplied with its MSDS for school and college laboratories.
Is Aluminum Sulfate the same as alum?
Not exactly. Aluminum Sulfate is aluminium sulfate itself, while the potash alum often used for crystal growing is a double salt of potassium and aluminium sulfate. Both act as coagulants, but choose Aluminum Sulfate SCI-453/166 when your practical sheet names aluminium sulfate.
Is this Aluminum Sulfate anhydrous or hydrated?
The listing for Aluminum Sulfate SCI-453/166 gives its analytical reagent grade and 200 g pack size but not its hydration state. If your method needs a particular form or molar mass, state it in your enquiry and we will confirm the form of the batch before quoting.
How should Aluminum Sulfate be stored?
Keep Aluminum Sulfate SCI-453/166 in its closed container in a dry chemical cabinet, away from strong alkalis. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
Who supplies Aluminum Sulfate SCI-453/166?
Aluminum Sulfate SCI-453/166 is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India. The company sources the reagent and ships it with its MSDS to schools, colleges, dealers and importers across India and international markets.
What should an Aluminum Sulfate enquiry include?
An enquiry for Aluminum Sulfate should include the code SCI-453/166, the number of 200 g packs, any required hydration state and the delivery location. Add filter paper, funnels or test reagents to the same enquiry if you want the whole practical quoted together.
