Ferric Chloride 96% – High-Purity Industrial Chemical for Professional Use
Ferric Chloride 96% is a highly concentrated and versatile industrial chemical widely used across water treatment, electronics manufacturing, metallurgy, and laboratory research. Recognized for its efficiency as a coagulant and etching agent, Ferric Chloride 96% offers reliability, consistency, and cost-effectiveness for industrial-scale applications. At City Chemicals EU, we supply premium-grade Ferric Chloride designed to meet international standards of purity and performance.
What is Ferric Chloride 96%?
Ferric Chloride (FeCl₃) is a dark brown to black crystalline compound that is highly soluble in water. At a concentration of 96%, it provides maximum effectiveness, making it one of the most trusted coagulants and etchants in the chemical industry. In solution, Ferric Chloride hydrolyzes to release ferric ions, which actively bind with impurities, suspended solids, and organic matter.
How Ferric Chloride 96% Works
The effectiveness of Ferric Chloride lies in its ability to destabilize fine particles and colloids in water through charge neutralization and floc formation. In electronics manufacturing, its acidic properties make it ideal for etching copper and other metals with high precision. Its dual role as both a treatment chemical and a manufacturing aid makes it indispensable across industries.
Key Benefits of Ferric Chloride 96%
-
Superior coagulation efficiency: Removes suspended solids, heavy metals, and phosphates from wastewater.
-
High-purity grade: Ensures consistent performance across laboratory and industrial settings.
-
Cost-effective solution: Lower dosage requirements compared to alternative coagulants.
-
Versatility: Applicable in water treatment, printed circuit board (PCB) etching, pigment production, and metallurgy.
-
Global compliance: Meets international safety and chemical handling standards.
Safety and Handling
Ferric Chloride 96% is a corrosive chemical and requires careful handling. Always wear protective gloves, goggles, and appropriate laboratory clothing. Avoid direct contact with skin and eyes, and ensure adequate ventilation when handling powders or preparing solutions. Store the chemical in a dry, cool, and sealed container away from moisture to maintain stability.
Longevity and Storage
When stored properly, Ferric Chloride 96% maintains its integrity for up to 24 months. Keeping it in sealed, moisture-resistant containers prevents hydrolysis and contamination. This long shelf life ensures reliability in industries that demand bulk storage and consistent quality.
