At CKKL, quality isn’t just a benchmark—it’s a guarantee. Our Aluminium Chloride (AlCl₃) is produced through a controlled chloride process and is thoroughly tested to meet stringent chemical standards. Below are the critical quality parameters we maintain, based on the IS 6614:2021 standard and associated methods.
1. Assay (AlCl₃)
- Unit: %
- Specification: Min 99%
- Test Method: IS: 6614:2021, Annex B
Explanation:
This is the purity level of the active compound—the most crucial parameter. A minimum of 99% purity ensures that the material will behave predictably in catalytic reactions, especially in Friedel–Crafts reactions and chloride-based synthesis processes.
CKKL ensures this through high-efficiency reactors and rapid sublimation-condensation systems to prevent degradation.
2. Insoluble Matter in Water
- Unit: ppm
- Specification: Max 200 ppm
- Test Method: IS: 6614:2021, Annex A
Explanation:
This measures the amount of material that does not dissolve in water, indicating physical impurities or degradation byproducts. Lower values represent cleaner, more reactive material.
At CKKL, this parameter is tightly monitored to ensure smooth downstream processing in industries like dyes, pigments, and pharmaceuticals, where residue-free solutions are essential.
3. Free Aluminium
- Unit: ppm
- Specification: Max 50 ppm
- Test Method: IS: 6614:2021, Annex D
Explanation:
Residual metallic Aluminium indicates incomplete conversion during synthesis. High levels can negatively impact reaction kinetics or introduce contamination.
We employ advanced reactor controls to limit unconverted Aluminium, making our product ideal for sensitive applications like pharma intermediates and aroma compound production.
4. Iron as Fe
- Unit: ppm
- Specification: Max 30 ppm
- Test Method: IS: 3025.53.2003
Explanation:
Iron contamination is undesirable, especially in pharmaceutical and fragrance synthesis, where coloration or unwanted catalytic side reactions can occur.
CKKL’s reactor construction and chlorine purification systems are designed to minimize iron ingress, supporting high-purity requirements.
5. Solubility
- Specification: Clear Solution
- Test Method: IS: 6614:2021, Annex F
Explanation:
A clear solution on dissolution indicates that the material is free of suspended impurities. This is essential for applications where homogeneity and clarity are non-negotiable—such as liquid formulation bases, reactor feeding systems, or coatings.
Our packaging under dry, inert atmosphere preserves this clarity until end use.
How CKKL Delivers on These Specifications
- Moisture-Proof Handling: All our AlCl₃ is packed and handled in dry air or nitrogen to prevent hydrolysis.
- Modular Production Units: Each reactor is designed to optimize conversion and purity, reducing variability.
- Certified Testing Labs: Every batch undergoes testing as per IS standards using calibrated instruments and certified chemists.
- Customer-Centric Solutions: Specifications can be tailored based on client requirements across pharma, agrochem, pigment, and TiO₂ sectors.
Conclusion
At CKKL, we don’t just supply Aluminium Chloride—we ensure that every molecule performs to expectation. With precision control, standard-compliant processes, and real-time quality checks, we give our customers a product they can trust, no matter the complexity of their chemistry.
