Procedure

A polymeric aluminum lactate is prepared in a similar manner to that described in EXAMPLE 11 with the constituents following the formula Al2 (OH)5CH3CHOHCO2.2H2O. A typical batch comprises 106 grams of a 85% solution of lactic acid; 54 grams of activated aluminum and 381 grams of water. The mixture is left at room temperature until the activated aluminum has been substantially consumed.
