USALCO Sodium Aluminate (Granular)

USALCO Sodium Aluminate (Granular) is a white powder that easily dissolves in water and is the dry form of sodium aluminate. It is produced by mixing alumina trihydrate with sodium hydroxide to create a solution, which is then solidified by removing excess moisture. This product does not contain any stabilizing agents.
