Overview of Aluminum Sulfate (Alum)

Aluminum sulfate, also known as alum, is a widely used industrial chemical that has a variety of applications in art and industry. When dissolved in water, it produces a gelatinous precipitate of aluminum hydroxide, which is useful for fixing dyes on cloth and mineral substrates. It is also used to harden glue and starch sizes, making it an essential supply for artists and craftspeople.
