POTASSIUM ALUM Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Potassium alum (KAl(SO4)2·12H2O) is a white crystalline compound commonly used as a mordant in dyeing, astringent in personal care products, and in water purification. It has astringent and antiseptic properties, making it useful in aftershave products and styptic pencils. In water treatment, potassium alum helps to coagulate impurities, aiding in their removal. Proper handling includes the use of protective gloves and goggles to prevent skin and eye irritation. Storage should be in a cool, dry place, away from moisture. Disposal must follow local regulations to prevent environmental contamination. Potassium alum is valued for its versatility and effectiveness in various applications, from textile dyeing to personal care and water treatment, providing essential coagulating and astringent properties.
