Aloxicoll® 51L

1 of 9 products in this brand
ALOXICOLL® 51L is an enhanced efficacy antiperspirant active, providing improved sweat reduction over standard Aluminum Chlorohydrate solution, ALOXICOLL® L. The increase in efficacy is attributed to an activation step, which causes a change in the polymer distribution. This can be measured by HPLC. A shift of polymers from band 1 to band 2 ( min. 50 % of band 2 ) indicates an enhanced sweat reduction and increased alcohol solubility.

Features & Benefits

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® 51L is primarily used in formulations containing alcohol, e.g. pump-sprays, roll -ons, where an enhanced antiperspirant effect is desired. It can also be used in emulsions, preshaves and skin tonics. ALOXICOLL® 51L forms clear solutions with water, alcohol and alcohol/water mixtures.
