Aluminium Chloride is an inorganic compound of Aluminium and Chlorine. It is white, but samples are often contaminated with iron trichloride, giving it yellow colour. It is also known as aluminium (III) chloride or aluminium trichloride.
Aluminium Chloride is offered in two forms: anhydrous aluminium chloride and hydrated aluminium chloride. This compounds cracks at mild temperature, reversibly changing from polymer to a monomer. This compound changes it state depending upon the temperature i.e. solid, liquid and gas.
Common grade available and application: Aluminium Chloride is the most commonly used Lewis Acid. It finds application in the chemical industry as catalyst in products like detergents and ethylbenzene. It also play role in polymerization and isomerization reactions of hydrocarbons. It is the principal catalyst used in the Friedel-Crafts reaction, both acylations and alkylations. The product also finds application in the manufacture of Ibuprofen and other bulk drugs, ethyl benzene, isopropyl benzene, titanium dioxide, hydrocarbon resins, terpene resins and polybutenes.
Polyaluminium Chloride is one more form of hydrated aluminium chloride, called as aluminium chlorohydrate which appears in both liquid and powder form. This is used in deodorants and antiperspirants, as aflocculant in water purification in drinking/wastewater treatment and paper sizing.
Ammonium Bicarbonate is bicarbonate salt of ammonia having faint ammonical odour is an inorganic chemical compound. Ammonium Bicarbonate exists in solid state which degrades to carbon dioxide, water and ammonia. It is also known as Ammonium Hydrogen Carbonate.

Appearance - This appears as white powder or granules with sligh odour of acetic acid; hygroscopic
Identifications - It gives positive reaction for Calcium and Acetate
Solubility - Freely soluble in water; solution is clear
pH=6.0-9.0 (5% w/v soln)
Loss on drying/Aqua - Monohydrate(less than 13%), Anhydrous(Less than 7%)
Calcium Butyrate is a chemical compound which is a calcium salt of butyric acid. Its standard name is calcium butyrate, while also called as calcium butanoate. Commonly it is available is amorphous powder, but for more stability the powder is customized in coated granular or noodles form encapsulated with permitted ingredients such as essential oils, glycerol monostearate or maltodextrin etc.
Common grade available and application : Calcium Butyrate is used as feed supplement to animals and as food additives. It performs anti-salmonella action and improves immune status of animals.
General properties :
Appearance - White to off-white granular powder or granules; has rancid or sour milky odour
