Product Description of Aluminum Hydroxide CAS#21645-51-2

Aluminum hydroxide, with the chemical formula Al(OH)₃, is a white solid that is insoluble in water but soluble in both acids and alkalis, exhibiting typical amphoteric behavior. When heated and dehydrated in air, it can be converted into aluminum oxide, making it an important precursor for alumina production. It reacts with acids to form salts and water, and with strong bases to produce corresponding salts and water, further demonstrating its amphoteric nature. Due to its slight acidity, it is also sometimes referred to as aluminic acid (H₃AlO₃).
