Use:
1. mainly used for metal etching, sewage treatment. Which etching including copper, stainless steel, aluminum and other materials etching, low oil degree of raw water treatment, has the advantages of good effect, cheap price, but brings the shortcomings of yellow water color. It is also used for printing and dyeing drum engraving, electronic circuit board and fluorescent digital cylinder production. The construction industry is used to prepare concrete to enhance its strength, corrosion resistance and water resistance. Can also be prepared with ferrous chloride, calcium chloride, aluminum chloride, aluminum sulfate, hydrochloric acid, etc., into mud cement waterproof agent, inorganic industry used for the manufacture of other iron salts and ink. The dye industry uses it as an oxidant in the dyeing of Indycotin dyes. Used as a mordant in the printing and dyeing industry. Metallurgical industry used as a chlorination penetration agent for gold and silver extraction. Organic industry used as catalyst, oxidant and chlorination agent. Glass industry used as hot colorant for glassware. Soap industry as soap waste liquid recovery glycerin coagulant.
2.another important use of ferric chloride is hardware etching, etching products such as: spectacle frames, clocks, electronic components, sign nameplates.
Invasion route: inhalation, ingestion, percutaneous absorption.
