Our Ferric Chloride is prepared by direct chlorination of iron with chlorine and product is collected after condensation of sublimed product. Thus the process conditions are adjusted in such a way that material of highest purity is obtained. It is also known by following names such as Ferric Trichloride, Iron Chloride & Iron Trichloride.

Ferric Chloride Anhydrous is an anhydrous sublimed iron (iii) chloride. It is supplied as a greenish – black crystalline powder containing 98-99% Ferric Chloride, readily soluble in water, ethanol, ether and acetone, it is very hygroscopic, taking up atmospheric moisture and forming a deliquescent yellow hydrate FeCl36H2O which dissolves in the water is absorbs.
