fishfrenzy · 01-22-2005, 06:32 PM

I am just wondering where I can purchase Aluminum Sulfate / Alum USP. I went to the local CVS and local food store and asked the pharmacy's if they sold aluminum sulfate / Alum USP and they didnt know what i was talking about. So any help would be appreciated. Is it under a differenty label on the shelves? What type of bottle/box does it come in?? What isle?? Thanks for the help!!!

What's it for?
Is there an on-line chemistry supply store?

I think it's alum. It's used for removing waste in sewage treatment, and it's also an ingredient in many anti-perspirants. It's been linked to cancer and Alzhaimer's Disease, but nothing is proven so far.
