CFS10Al is the product of partial hydrolysis of Al:
BASICITY
In an acid (alkaline) environment, aluminum is thermodynamically unstable and transitions into a water solution. Because of the significant energy of hydration of Al3+ ions in the water solution, they turn into hexaaquaaluminum ions: Al(H2O)63+. Polycondensation results in the formation of various poly nuclear aquahydroxyaluminium complex ions:

x[Al(H2O)6]3+ = [Alx(OH)y(H2O)2(3x-y)](3x-y)+ +yH3O+

The energy level diagram of Al2O3-HA-H2O
(where HA-mineral acid) type Systems is plotted based on equilibrium data of the dissociation of aquahydroxyaluminium cations and the values of
electroconductivity activation energy and viscosity. The driving force of condensation processes of aluminium- oxygen octahedra is
expressed by the thermodynamic potentials per mole of water liberated during condensation. The simultaneous existence of various poly-condensation products in aqueous solutions of basic aluminium salts, the discrepancies in literature data available, as well as some peculiarities of the Systems discussed are explained by the small driving force and the presence of product transition activation energy.
The low energy level of aluminum compounds and the closeness of their thermodynamic potentials is the basis of their diversity. This is also the reason for many contradictory results in the study of aluminum compounds.
The substance is hydrolytically unstable (half-life less than 12 hours)
Например при използуването на алуминиев сулфат като коагулант за вода разреждането е до ~10 mg/dm3, скоростните константи на хидролиза и полимеризация са съответно 10^10 s-1 и 10^2—10^3 s-1, т. е. практически процесите протичат мигновено, а продуктите са с произведение на разтворимост 10^23—10^33.
