Technical profile of Ferric Chloride Hexahydrate, a high-purity raw chemical material supplied by Triveni Chemicals for industrial manufacturing and laboratory synthesis.

Ferric Chloride Hexahydrate (Cl3Fe.6H2O) is an inorganic iron salt with the chemical formula Cl3Fe.6H2O and molecular weight 270.30 g/mol. It appears as dark brown to orange crystalline solid, highly soluble in water and alcohol. It is hygroscopic, corrosive, and forms acidic solutions in water. It is stable under normal conditions but absorbs moisture from air.
In terms of uses and applications, Ferric Chloride Hexahydrate is widely used in water and wastewater treatment as a coagulant for removing suspended solids, heavy metals, and impurities. It is also used in the electronics industry for etching printed circuit boards (PCBs). In the chemical industry, it serves as a catalyst in organic synthesis and a reagent for chlorination and oxidation reactions. It is used in pigments, dyes, and pharmaceutical intermediates. Additionally, it finds application in laboratory analysis for iron detection and various analytical chemistry processes.
