Aluminium Nitrate Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Aluminum Nitrate
- Aluminium Trinitrate
- Al(NO3)3
Aluminium nitrate supplier for catalyst, ceramic, electronics and laboratory buyers in Malaysia. Written Al(NO3)3 and spelled aluminum nitrate in American documents, it is a highly soluble aluminium salt that gives an acidic solution and behaves as an oxidiser.
The commercially traded material is the nonahydrate, Al(NO3)3·9H2O, supplied as white to colourless deliquescent crystals. The anhydrous salt is a separate identity with its own CAS number. Grades run technical, reagent or analytical, and low-chloride or high-purity for sensitive work.
Buyers use aluminium nitrate as a clean-decomposing aluminium feed in catalyst and alumina precursor routes, as an aluminium source in glass, ceramics and tanning, in insulation and core treatment, and in thin-film and corrosion chemistry. It is not a coagulant: aluminium sulphate, poly aluminium chloride, aluminium hydroxide and aluminium oxide are quoted on their own pages.
Send the grade, hydrate form, assay or impurity limits, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Aluminium Nitrate grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aluminium nitrate nonahydrate crystals | colourless to white crystalline solid | — | The normal traded form. Dissolved to make up acidic aluminium solutions for catalyst preparation, alumina precursor routes and general process work. | Pack format is confirmed with the quotation. |
| Technical grade aluminium nitrate | crystalline solid | — | Industrial duty in tanning, glass and ceramic batches, insulation and core treatment and process dosing where a technical aluminium nitrate meets the specification. | Pack format is confirmed with the quotation. |
| Reagent and analytical grade aluminium nitrate | high-purity crystals | — | Laboratory reagent, standards preparation and small-scale synthesis where tighter assay and impurity control is needed. | Pack format is confirmed with the quotation. |
| Low-chloride and high-purity aluminium nitrate | crystalline solid | — | Catalyst, thin-film and electronics chemistry where chloride and metal-ion limits are specified. Send the impurity table you need matched. | Pack format is confirmed with the quotation. |

Aluminium Nitrate applications
Safety and handling
- Classification
- oxidising
Store sealed in a cool, dry area, separated from combustible material and reducing agents. The crystals are deliquescent and will take up water if the pack is left open. Follow the safety information issued with the quoted grade. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.
Common questions about aluminium nitrate
Which hydrate form of aluminium nitrate is traded?
Commercial supply is almost always the nonahydrate, written Al(NO3)3·9H2O, as colourless to white crystals. The anhydrous salt exists as a separate identity but is rarely the material a buyer receives. Confirm the form when you send the specification.
Is aluminium nitrate the same as aluminium sulphate or alum?
No. It is a different product. Aluminium sulphate and potash alum are sulphate salts used mainly as coagulants, while this is an acidic, oxidising nitrate salt used in catalyst, ceramic, tanning and laboratory work. Order each by name.
Does aluminium nitrate mean the same thing as aluminum nitrate?
Yes, the same material. Aluminium is the British spelling and aluminum the American one, and both appear on specifications and purchase orders for this salt. Either spelling in an enquiry reaches the same product.
Which aluminium nitrate grade should be requested?
Technical grade covers industrial batches and process dosing. Reagent or analytical grade suits laboratory work. Catalyst, thin-film and electronics duties usually call for a low-chloride or high-purity grade, so send the impurity limits with the enquiry.
How should aluminium nitrate be stored?
Keep it sealed, cool and dry, and away from combustible material and reducing agents, since nitrate salts act as oxidisers. The crystals are deliquescent, so an opened pack absorbs moisture and clumps. Follow the safety information for the quoted grade.
What information is needed for an aluminium nitrate quotation?
Provide grade, hydrate form, assay or impurity targets, quantity, delivery location and the intended process. Include the pack format and any documents the site needs so the quotation answers the full requirement.
