Alox are aluminum oxide layers for TLC. An inert organic binder and a manganese-activated zinc silicate as indicator is used. For preparative purposes (PLC) a layer thickness of 1 mm is available on glass plates. We recommend to activate aluminum oxide layers before use by heating 10 minutes at 120 °C. Available as glass plates, POLYGRAM polyester sheets and ALUGRAM aluminum sheets.
