Aluminium Chloride
High purity anhydrous aluminium chloride serves as a vital Lewis acid catalyst for Friedel-Crafts reactions. It is characterized by its strong exothermic reactivity and efficiency in synthesizing complex organic compounds.
This industrial chemical is essential for producing synthetic lubricants, hydrocarbon resins, and petrochemical intermediates. Its ability to facilitate carbon-carbon bond formation makes it indispensable in modern aromatic synthesis.
Available in granular or powder grades, it provides high surface area for efficient reaction kinetics in manufacturing. It is a critical component for the production of ethylbenzene and other aromatic derivatives.
Aluminium Chloride
- Hydrocarbon Processing: Acts as a primary catalyst in the alkylation of benzene to produce ethylbenzene.
- Pigment Production: Used as a reagent in the manufacturing of various industrial dyes and phthalocyanine pigments.
- Synthetic Rubber: Functions as a polymerization agent in the production of high-performance elastomers and resins.
Classified as Corrosive (Class 8). It causes severe skin burns and eye damage upon contact. Handling requires acid-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and respiratory protection in dry environments.
