ALUMINUM SULFATE & Polypropylene Compatibility

ALUMINUM SULFATE is a water-soluble compound with the chemical formula Al2(SO4)3. It is a chemical agent used in water purification, pH regulation of garden soil, and other commercial or industrial applications. It is primarily used as a coagulating agent in minor cuts and abrasions.

PVDF temperature limit: 275°F (135°C). That is Arkema’s maximum use temperature for Kynar Flex® 2850 PVDF, the resin we mold, with Aluminum Sulfate (Aqueous solution or solid). Arkema’s limits are for solid resin at atmospheric pressure and do not account for mixtures. Source: Arkema Kynar® PVDF chemical resistance chart. Confirm your application with Bailiff before ordering.
