Product Properties

Chemical Properties

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.

Applications & Uses

Recommended Uses & Known Applications

ALOXICOLL® 31L is an antiperspirant active with a slightly higher efficacy than standard Aluminum Chlorohydrate solution, ALOXICOLL® L. It is primarily used in aqueous or aqueous/alcoholic formulations, e.g. in roll-ons and pump-sprays and can also be used in emulsions, pre-shaves and skin tonics. ALOXICOLL® 31L forms clear solutions in formulations with alcohol concentrations up to 50% volume. Above this concentration, small quantities of Al(OH)3 may precipitate out.
