Aluminum Formate CAS 7360-53-4
(textile waterproofing agent)
Chemical Name: Aluminium Triformate
CAS No.: 7360-53-4
MF: CH5AlO2
Molecular structure：
Aluminium triformate is an efficient mordant and crosslinking agent. It features good water solubility and thermal stability. Its structure contains multiple formate groups that can coordinate with dye molecules and fiber substrates, enhancing color fastness on natural textiles. In leather processing, it acts as a chromium-free tanning agent, improving leather softness and grain tightness. It is widely used in textile dyeing, papermaking, leather, and ceramic industries. It is a low-toxicity, high-performance auxiliary agent and has a good application prospect.

Mainly used as a mordant in textile dyeing, a chromium-free tanning agent in leather, and a paper wet-strength agent.
Exceptional Water Solubility: Unlike standard basic aluminum salts, our Aluminum Formate dissolves quickly and completely in water. It creates crystal-clear solutions with zero sedimentation.
Excellent Dye Fixation & Mordant: It cross-links effectively with natural and synthetic fibers. This improves dye brightness, washing fastness, and rub resistance in textile mills.
Superior Waterproofing Action: It deposits a highly hydrophobic aluminum complex onto fabric surfaces during heat drying, providing excellent water repellency.
Low Impurity Profile: Our advanced synthesis path ensures minimal heavy metals and free acid, meeting the strict environmental limits of global cosmetic and textile regulations.
Packaging: 25kgs/Bag.
Storage:
Being kept in dry, clean warehouse with well ventilation.
Avoid exposing to light and heating.
Protecting the product from leakage, rain and insolation during transportation
Q1: What is Aluminum Formate (CAS 7360-53-4) used for in the textile industry?
A: Aluminum Formate is primarily used as a powerful mordant and waterproofing component in the textile finishing sector. It reacts with dyes, significantly improving color fastness against washing and light. Additionally, it helps modify fiber surfaces to deliver water-repellent properties without affecting fabric breathability.
Q2: Is Aluminum Formate completely soluble in water for industrial mixing?
A: Yes, absolutely. Our industrial-grade Aluminum Formate is synthesized as a highly refined crystalline powder that dissolves quickly and fully in cold or warm water. It forms a clean, stable acidic solution (pH 3.5 - 4.5) with no precipitate, which ensures that automated spraying nozzles or padding equipment do not experience clogging during continuous processing.
Q3: What are the safety, handling, and storage guidelines for bulk Aluminum Formate?
A: Aluminum Formate powder is slightly hygroscopic and should be stored in its original, tightly sealed packaging in a cool, dry chemical warehouse. Workers should follow standard industrial safety protocols, including wearing protective dust masks and gloves to avoid eye and skin irritation. Under dry conditions below 30 ℃, the stable commercial shelf life is 24 months.
