- ▸ Drinking-water clarification: Primary coagulant for potable-water treatment.
- ▸ Wastewater treatment: Coagulant for municipal and industrial effluent.
- ▸ Solids removal: Destabilizes colloids and suspended solids ahead of settling and filtration.
- ▸ Turbidity control: Reduces turbidity through the clarification stages.
A grade-specific Safety Data Sheet (SDS) — with the complete hazard classification, handling precautions, and transport information — is supplied with every shipment and available on request. Confirm all safety and regulatory details against the SDS for your specific grade.

Transport classification per the UN Model Regulations / 49 CFR 172.101 Hazardous Materials Table. Confirm against the grade-specific SDS (Section 14) before shipping.
Polyaluminum chloride (CAS 1327-41-9) is a pre-hydrolyzed basic aluminum chloride supplied as a primary inorganic coagulant. It destabilizes suspended solids and colloids in drinking-water clarification and in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is poly aluminum chloride used for?
Poly aluminum chloride (PAC, CAS 1327-41-9) is a pre-hydrolyzed basic aluminum chloride used as a primary inorganic coagulant. It destabilizes colloids and suspended solids in drinking-water clarification and in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment, reducing turbidity ahead of settling and filtration. RawSource supplies it in bulk.
Can PAC be used in drinking water treatment?
Yes — PAC is widely used as a primary coagulant for potable-water clarification as well as municipal and industrial wastewater. Specify your application when ordering and request the CoA to confirm the grade meets your treatment requirements.
What is the difference between PAC and aluminum sulfate (alum)?
PAC is a pre-hydrolyzed basic aluminum chloride coagulant, whereas alum is aluminum sulfate. PAC's pre-hydrolyzed form is the basis for its use as a primary coagulant. Request technical data for basicity and dosing characteristics of a given grade.
What grades and packaging of PAC does RawSource supply?
PAC is typically supplied as a liquid solution and in powder form; available grades and packaging (drums, totes, bulk) depend on the lot. Confirm with your rep and request the SDS and CoA for documentation.
What is the price per kg of bulk poly aluminum chloride?
Bulk PAC pricing depends on grade, form (liquid vs. powder), packaging, and volume. RawSource quotes drum, tote, and bulk loads — request a current quote with your target quantity.
