Description
A hygroscopic, brown solid used as an etchant in photoengraving as a Mordant to produce a clean vertical edge. Ferric chloride is also used as a mordant in textile dyeing and as a brown pigment in paints and inks. An acidified solution of iron chloride is also used as a reagent to qualitatively test for the presence of Arsenic or Phosphorus in Copper alloys (Odegaard et al 2000).
Synonyms and Related Terms
iron (III) chloride; ferric trichloride; ferric perchloride; iron chloride; iron trichloride; iron perchloride; Flores Martin; Eisen(III)chlorid (Deut.); chlorure de fer (III) (Fr.);
Risks
Noncombustible. Toxic by ingestion and inhalation. The corrosive, acidic compound will causes burns on contact. Decomposes in heat to form hydrogen chloride gas.
Fisher Scientific: SDS
Physical and Chemical Properties
