NOTES

A 215 Highly active; fulfills the most exacting requirements with respect to storage, stability, and reaction rate; only a few minutes are required for full development of its action.

 

A211 – Standard quality powder

 

A215 – Faster reaction rate powder

 

A503 – Low bulk density powder

 

A611 – Standard low-viscosity paste

 

A621 – More reactive, higher viscosity paste

 

A651 – Highly concentrated gel, highly viscous

 

A661 – Most viscous Alugel available, resistant to sedimentation

 

A671 – Free flowing suspension, suitable for 2x or 3x strength formulations

 

A681 – Most highly concentrated Aluminum Hydroxide suspension available, highly stable.

 

Customers who use Alugel also purchase Sucralfate, an all-purpose antacid for immediate relief and long-term healing

 

Use: COSMETIC COLORANT, EMOLLIENT, HUMECTANT, OPACIFYING, SKIN PROTECTING, VISCOSITY CONTROLLING
