Technical aspects
Ferric Chloride, also known as Iron(III) Chloride, is a dark brown liquid with low viscosity and a slightly pungent odor. It is produced by various methods, such as dissolving iron ore in hydrochloric acid, oxidizing iron(II) chloride with chlorine or oxidizing iron(II) chloride with oxygen and hydrochloric acid.
Ferric Chloride 40% is highly corrosive to most metals and non-flammable. It is also soluble over a very wide pH range. Ferric Chloride 40% is used as a coagulant for water treatment and as an oxidizing agent in various industries.

Packaging
Foodcom S.A. supplies its Business Partners with Ferric Chloride in Flexitank or bulk (25MT) and IBC (1450kg).
Application
Ferric Chloride is most commonly used for water treatment. It helps to remove fine particles so that they clump together and form larger lumps. This makes them heavier and they sink to the bottom. Ferric Chloride can also bind odors.
Ferric Chloride is also used in the manufacture of printed circuit boards as it forms an etching solution for copper used in their manufacture. It is also used as an etchant for copper, silver, brass and other metals.
Ferric Chloride acts as a catalyst in organic chemical reactions and can also be used as a sequestering agent in chemical processes. In addition, Ferric Chloride plays an important role in the medical and pharmaceutical industries.
