Ferric Chloride is a powerful and reliable inorganic coagulant widely used in industrial wastewater treatment, drinking water purification, and etching for PCB and metal surfaces.
It effectively removes suspended solids, heavy metals, and organic impurities by forming dense flocs that settle quickly.
Our Ferric Chloride is available in liquid and anhydrous forms, with FeCl₃ content up to 40% for liquid and ≥96% for solid grade. It features strong coagulation efficiency, low sludge generation, and cost-effective performance compared with traditional coagulants.
We ensure stable quality, competitive price, and flexible packaging (25kg bags, 250kg drums, or IBC tanks) to meet various industrial needs.

Application
Anhydrous Ferric Chloride is widely used as an etchant in the printed circuit board (PCB) industry, etching copper layers with high precision.
FeCl₃ serves as a coagulant and flocculant in industrial wastewater treatment, helping remove suspended solids, heavy metals, and organic contaminants.
Anhydrous Ferric Chloride is used as a catalyst in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and aromatic compounds.
FeCl₃ functions as an oxidizing agent in various chemical reactions and is employed in the chlorination of hydrocarbons.
Anhydrous Ferric Chloride is used in the pigment and dye industry to produce iron oxide pigments and other colorants.
FeCl₃ is also used in the metallurgical industry for metal surface treatment and refining processes.
