Chemical Properties

ALOXICOLL® powders are stable under non aqueous 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.

Physiological Properties

According to the application area and concentration applied, ALOXICOLL® exhibits sweat reducing, deodorant, astringent, antibacterial and antiphlogistic properties.
