Aluminum subacetate

Monobasic aluminum acetate (eg, aluminum subacetate), aluminum formoacetate, normal aluminum formate, and basic aluminum formate have found widespread use as mordants in dyeing, in the formulation of waterproofing compositions for textiles, and for dermatological treatment. 

Freshly prepared aluminum subacetate is also used to cross-link acid-hydrolyzed, coUagen-derived protein. This procedure is useful in the food, pharmaceutical, and photographic industries (11). 

Monobasic aluminum acetate is dispensed as a 7% aqueous solution for the topical treatment of certain dermatological conditions, where a combination of detergent, antiseptic, astringent, and heat-dispersant effects are needed (12). The solution, diluted with 20—40 parts water, is appHed topically to the skin and mucous membranes as a wet dressing (13). Burrow s solution, prepared from aluminum subacetate solution by the addition of a specific amount of acetic acid, is also used as a topical wet dressing. Standards of purity and concentration have been estabHshed for both pharmaceutical aluminum acetate solutions (13). Each 100 mL of aluminum subacetate solution yields 2.30—2.60 g of aluminum oxide and 5.43—6.13 g of acetic acid upon hydrolysis. For the Burow s solution, each 100 mL yields 1.20—1.45 g of aluminum oxide and 4.25—5.12 g of acetic acid. Both solutions may be stabilized to hydrolysis by the addition of boric acid in amounts not to exceed 0.9% and 0.6% for the subacetate and Burow s solutions, respectively (13).

Aluminum sulfate occurs in nature as the mineral alunogenite, and is a powerful astringent acting much like alum. It is also used as an antiperspirant and is the effective ingredient in some commercial antiperspirant products. It is also a pharmaceutical necessity for the preparation of Aluminum Subacetate Topical Solution USP.
