Introduction
Ferric Chloride 40% is a high-purity chemical widely used across industrial, laboratory, and water treatment applications. Known for its exceptional effectiveness as a coagulant and etchant, Ferric Chloride plays a critical role in processes requiring precise chemical reactions. At City Chemicals EU, we provide lab-grade Ferric Chloride 40% that ensures consistency, safety, and optimal results for your projects.
What is Ferric Chloride 40%?
Ferric Chloride (FeCl₃) is an inorganic compound with strong oxidative properties. At a 40% concentration, it is highly effective in metal etching, PCB production, and water purification processes. This solution is a staple for chemical laboratories, industrial manufacturing, and municipal water treatment facilities.
How It Works
Ferric Chloride functions primarily as a coagulant, binding with impurities in water to form larger particles that can be easily removed. In metal etching, it reacts with metals like copper to form soluble complexes, enabling precise and controlled etching. Its chemical efficiency and stability make it a preferred choice in industrial and laboratory applications worldwide.
