Ferric Chloride Anhydrous 96% is a black-brown water soluble solid, ferric chloride anhydrous is mainly used for the engraving etching of electronic circuit board or purifies drink water and treats waste water. Ferric Chloride is also used to make other iron salts, oxidant, catalyst, mordant and ink. CAS RN.: 7705-08-0 EINECS: 231-729-4 H.S.CODE: 2827.3990.00 1. Chemical Analysis Component Range Typical Ferric chloride(Fecl3)w/% ≥ 96.0 99.37% Ferrous chloride(Fecl2)w/% ≤ 2.0 0.5% Insoluble residue w/% ≤ 1.5 0.1% 2. Application Water treatment Ferric chloride anhydrous used to form floc out of the effluent and make the effluent transparent & free from impurities. Metallurgical industry Ferric chloride anhydrous is corrosive for electronic printed board, chlorinating agent. Dye industry Used as oxidant and mordant. Organic synthesis Used as catalyst, oxidant, and chlorinating agent Print industry Necessary for the etching of photogravure plates for printing photographic and fine art images in intaglio and for etching rotogravure cylinders used in the printing industry. Medicine Used in veterinary practice to treat overcropping of an animal's claws, particularly when the overcropping results in bleeding.
