Aluminum benzoate

Aluminum benzoate (CAS 555-32-8), also known as aluminium tribenzoate, is an organometallic compound used industrially as a rheology modifier and cross-linking agent.

Where is Aluminum benzoate used?

• Printing inks and packaging coatings: gelling agent adjusting viscosity and preventing pigment settling
• Plastics and polymer compounding: cross-linking promoter improving dimensional stability and mechanical performance
• Textile and leather finishing: binder cross-linking that fixes coatings resisting mechanical stress and washing
• Paper treatment: controlled rheology in coating slurries for uniform surface coverage
• In coatings and specialty formulations it coordinates with polymer chains and binder systems to control flow and build structural integrity.

Commercial specifications

• Packaging from small laboratory to bulk industrial quantities
