Aluminium acetate is a white, water-soluble compound commonly used in medical and industrial applications. It is often found in topical solutions to relieve itching, inflammation, and skin irritations such as rashes or insect bites. In industry, it serves as a mordant in dyeing and printing textiles. Its astringent and antiseptic properties make it useful in both healthcare and manufacturing contexts.

Industrial Uses

1. Pharmaceuticals

  • Topical Astringent: Used in medicated lotions, creams, and soaks (e.g., Burow’s solution) to treat skin irritations, rashes, insect bites, and inflammation due to its astringent and antiseptic properties.
  • Antibacterial & Anti-Itch Agent: Commonly found in over-the-counter topical treatments for eczema, poison ivy, athlete’s foot, and minor skin infections.

2. Personal Care

  • Skin Toners & Lotions: Used in facial astringents, cleansing wipes, and acne treatments to help tighten skin and reduce oiliness.
  • Deodorants: Included in some natural or hypoallergenic deodorants due to its mild astringent and odor-neutralizing properties.

3. Cleaning & Disinfectants

  • Disinfectant in Wound Care: Used in antiseptic wipes and sprays for cleaning minor cuts and abrasions, especially in hospital and home first-aid products.
  • Foot Soaks: Added to foot care products to treat fungal infections and reduce odor or swelling in the feet.

4. Fabric Solutions

  • Mordant in Dyeing: Used as a mordant (fixative) in textile dyeing, helping bind dyes to natural fibers like cotton and wool for better colorfastness.

5. Construction

  • Additive in Sizing Agents: Occasionally used in paper manufacturing as part of sizing agents to improve the paper's resistance to moisture and ink bleed.
