Aluminum formates
Under the brand name ALTRIFORM®, we offer aluminum formates in both solid and liquid form. You benefit from versatile applications, from water treatment to paper production and catalyst production. Particularly valuable: It is an organic anion.

Products
We offer various aluminum formate solutions and solid aluminum formate in our portfolio. A special feature of aluminum formate compared to many other aluminum compounds is the organic, biodegradable anion. Our main products in this area are:
- Aluminum formate solution 40% (liquid)
- ALTRIFORM® solution (liquid)
- ALTRIFORM® CFD (solid)
Scopes
Examples of application areas include:
- Flocculation with biodegradable anion, without chlorides or sulfates
- Precipitation and fixing agent for the production of acid-free papers
- Additive for catalyst production, improving green strength
- Tanning agent for the leather industry (white tanning)
- Paint coagulation, debonding of paint suspensions
- Raw material for chemical syntheses: Aluminum source with organic anion
Special application advantages
A particular advantage of aluminum formates lies in the organic formate anion. This makes the product ideal for all applications where a degradable anion is required.
In addition, aluminum formate is chloride- and sulfate-free – making it the optimal choice wherever these ions are excluded due to legal requirements or special technical requirements.
For our customers, this means: Aluminum formate is a reliable, sustainable and versatile alternative to conventional aluminum compounds.
