Aluminium triacetate, formally named aluminium acetate,[2] is a chemical compound with composition Al(CH
3CO
2)
3. Under standard conditions it appears as a white, water-soluble solid[1] that decomposes on heating at around 200 °C.[3] The triacetate hydrolyses to a mixture of basic hydroxide / acetate salts,[4] and multiple species co-exist in chemical equilibrium, particularly in aqueous solutions of the acetate ion; the name aluminium acetate is commonly used for this mixed system.
It has therapeutic applications for its anti-itching, astringent, and antiseptic properties,[5] and, as an over-the-counter preparation like Burow's solution,[6] it is used to treat ear infections.[7][8] Burow's solution preparations have been diluted and modified with amino acids to make them more palatable for use as gargles for conditions like aphthous ulcers of the mouth.[9] In veterinary medicine, aluminium triacetate's astringency property is used for treating Mortellaro disease in hoofed animals such as cattle.[10]
Aluminium triacetate is used as a mordant agent with dyes like alizarin,[11] both alone and in combination. Together with aluminium diacetate[12] or with aluminium sulfacetate[13] it is used with cotton, other cellulose fibres,[14] and silk.[13] It has also been combined with ferrous acetate to produce different colours.[15]
