Poly Aluminum Chloride Market Size

Poly Aluminum Chloride Market Size

Poly Aluminum Chloride Market size was USD 1.1 billion in 2020 and will grow at a CAGR of 7.8% from 2021 to 2027. Poly aluminum chloride is widely used as flocculant in wastewater treatment, in producing deodorant, antiperspirants and several other end-use. Increasing wastewater treatment activities across the globe will proliferate the industry growth by 2027.

Poly aluminum chloride, also known as PAC, represents a category of soluble aluminum products which includes a partial reaction of aluminum chloride with base. The basicity of PAC represents the relative amount of OH- as compared to the amount of aluminum.

PAC is primarily used as coagulant in water treatment industry. Being pre-neutralized and possessing higher charge density as compared to the traditional coagulants, PACs coagulate through more efficient and effective mechanism of charge neutralization. It allows the product to be more effective even at lower doses as compared to its traditional and iron salt counterparts. The advantages associated with PAC include reduced levels of chemical sludge volume, increased sludge density, lower alkalinity depletion, less pH depression, better performance in cold water as well as higher pH systems, etc.
 

Poly aluminum chloride is popularly used for the treatment of drinking (potable) water, industrial water, sewage water treatment. It also finds application in paper & pulp industry for paper production and sizing purposes. Proliferating water treatment activities across the globe coupled with increasing awareness pertaining to safety levels of drinking water will majorly augment the poly aluminum chloride market share. Rising consumption of paper and paper-based products will further propel the product demand in the coming years.
