Product Description

Ferric Chloride Liquid is commonly dissolved in water in a concentration of 30-40%. It is soluble in alcohol and acetone as well. The chemical is a very potent oxidizing agent having a yellow-brown to reddish-brown color. They are highly used in the process of water treatment, with the purpose of removing of impurities such as suspended solids, organic material, and some metals from wastewater. Ferric Chloride Liquid is a versatile chemical, and in many applications, its utility is quite widespread and broad, which includes etching chemicals, PCB etching, water treatment, synthesis.

Outstanding Purity and Composition

This Ferric Chloride Liquid contains a minimum of 40% FeCl3 and maintains low impurity levels: less than 0.5% water-insoluble matter, 1% sulphates, and 0.1% ferrous iron (Fe++). Strict quality controls ensure reliable concentration of active compounds, making it suitable for sensitive industrial uses such as water treatment and electronics etching.

Versatile Industrial Applications

The high solubility and strong coagulating properties allow Ferric Chloride Liquid to excel in water treatment plants, printed circuit board manufacturing, and other industrial processes. Its dark brown appearance and slightly pungent odour are typical of this compound, which is prized for its effectiveness in removing contaminants and facilitating chemical reactions efficiently.

Storage and Safety Guidelines

To maintain its quality, Ferric Chloride Liquid should be stored in a cool, dry place and properly sealed. It should be handled with caution due to its acidic pH (1.0-2.0) and pungent odour. Precautions should be taken to avoid contact with skin and eyes, and to prevent spillage or exposure to excessive heat.

FAQ's of Ferric Chloride Liquid:

Q: How should Ferric Chloride Liquid be stored to ensure stability?
