Poly Aluminium Chloride (PAC) is an inorganic polymer coagulant widely used in water treatment, wastewater treatment, and industrial purification processes. It is an aluminum-based, pre-hydrolyzed chemical that provides superior coagulation performance compared to traditional chemicals like alum.
PAC is available in both liquid and powder forms and is known for its high charge density, rapid floc formation, low sludge generation, and excellent performance across a wide pH range.
