Aluminium potassium sulfate dodecahydrate/ALUMINUMPOTASSIUM SULFATE12-HYDRATE CAS 7784-24-9 AlH8KO5S

Alum has antibacterial and astringent effects, and can be used as a traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that alum has the effects of detoxifying and killing insects, drying dampness and relieving itching, stopping bleeding and diarrhea, clearing heat and eliminating phlegm. Recent studies have confirmed that alum also has antibacterial and anti vaginal trichomonas effects. Some traditional Chinese medicine uses alum to treat diseases such as hyperlipidemia, duodenal ulcer, pulmonary tuberculosis hemoptysis, etc. Alum can be used to prepare aluminum salts, fermentation powder, paint, tanning agents, clarifying agents, mordants, papermaking, waterproofing agents, etc. However, alum contains aluminum metal, so it is not advisable to eat too much food that contains a large amount of alum, as it can cause harm to the body, especially the brain.
