Aluminium lactate is a chemical compound, a salt of aluminium and lactic acid with the formula Al(C3H5O3)3. [1] [2]
Aluminium lactate is obtained by precipitating a solution of the barium salt by aluminium sulfate. [3]
Aluminium lactate appears as a white powder which is soluble in water.
Aluminium lactate is used as a mordant. [4]
It is suitable for use in the cosmetic industry as a keratolytic agent [5] or antiperspirant [6] , and in the oral industry. [7] [8]
Aluminium lactate is also used as a precursor for sol–gel synthesis of alumina-based glasses. [9]
