Ferric chloride &Ferric Chloride Liquid 40%

Ferric chloride, also known as Iron(III) chloride (FeCl3), is a covalent compound with strong hygroscopic properties, meaning it readily absorbs moisture from the air and can become deliquescent. It dissolves easily in water and has a high affinity for water absorption. Upon exposure to high temperatures, ferric chloride decomposes into ferrous chloride and chlorine gas. It is highly soluble in water, ethanol, ether, and acetone but is nearly insoluble in glycerol and phosphorus trichloride. The compound's aqueous solution is acidic, and it is also slightly soluble in carbon disulfide but almost insoluble in ethyl acetate. Ferric chloride is known to be corrosive to metals.

**Applications:**

1. **Water Treatment:** Ferric chloride is widely used in industrial wastewater treatment. It acts as a flocculant, helping to clarify effluents by removing impurities and making the water transparent.

2. **Metallurgical Industry:** In this industry, ferric chloride serves as a corrosive agent for electronic printed circuit boards and as a chlorinating agent.

3. **Printing Industry:** It is essential in the etching process for photogravure plates, which are used to print photographic and fine art images in intaglio, as well as for etching rotogravure cylinders in printing.

4. **Dye Industry:** Ferric chloride functions as an oxidant and mordant in the dyeing process.

5. **Medicine:** It is used in veterinary medicine to treat overgrown animal claws, especially when excessive growth leads to bleeding.

6. **Organic Synthesis:** Ferric chloride is employed as a catalyst, oxidant, and chlorinating agent in various organic synthesis processes.

7. **Other Uses:** It is used in the production of ferric salts and pigments.

8. **Raku Ware Firing:** In pottery, ferric chloride is utilized in the Raku firing technique to color pieces in shades of pink, brown, and orange.

9. **Gold and Silver Extraction:** Ferric chloride is used as a chlorination agent in the extraction of gold and silver.

10. **Construction Industry:** It is added to concrete to improve its strength, corrosion resistance, and water resistance. When mixed with soil, it enhances component strength and prevents water seepage.

11. **Soap Industry:** Ferric chloride acts as a coagulant to recover glycerin from soap waste liquids.

12. **Glass Industry:** It is used as a hot coloring agent for glassware.

13. **Hardware Etching:** Ferric chloride is crucial in etching hardware, such as eyeglass frames, clocks, electronic components, and nameplates.
