About Ferric Chloride

Buy ferric chloride solution from Alliance Chemical in concentrations from 10% to 40%. Ferric chloride is used for water and wastewater treatment, coagulation, PCB etching, metal surface treatment, ceramics, and specialty industrial applications.

Products In This Collection

This collection includes ferric chloride 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% solutions. Select concentration based on feed-system requirements, process demand, handling preferences, and compatibility with storage and metering equipment.

Common Applications

  • Water and wastewater treatment: Ferric chloride is used as a coagulant to remove suspended solids, phosphates, sulfides, and color in treatment systems.
  • PCB and metal etching: Ferric chloride etches copper and selected metals in electronics, signage, instrument, and hobbyist workflows.
  • Industrial process treatment: Facilities use ferric chloride for odor control, sludge conditioning, and process-water clarification.
  • Ceramics and surface effects: Ferric chloride is used in specialty coloration and surface-treatment workflows where iron chemistry is desired.

Grade & Selection Notes

Choose lower concentrations for small-batch etching, lab, or controlled feed use. Choose 30%-40% ferric chloride where industrial dosing rates, bulk economics, and storage systems support the stronger solution.

Safety & Handling

Ferric chloride solutions are acidic and corrosive to many metals. Wear gloves, eye protection, and protective clothing, and use compatible plastic or lined equipment. Avoid contact with incompatible bases and reactive metals. Review the Safety Data Sheets before use and follow your site-specific handling procedure.
