Product Description
Iron(III) chloride, also known as ferric chloride, is a versatile inorganic compound widely used in laboratories and industrial applications. This anhydrous form (98% purity) ensures minimal water content, making it ideal for precise chemical reactions where moisture interference is a concern.
In research settings, it serves as a catalyst in organic synthesis, an etching agent for printed circuit boards, and a coagulant in water treatment experiments. Its strong oxidizing properties also make it valuable in analytical chemistry for testing phenol compounds and other organic materials.
At eqipped, we source this product from trusted suppliers like Thermofisher to guarantee consistency and reliability for your experiments. Whether you’re a student working on a project or a researcher conducting advanced studies, this lab-grade Iron(III) chloride delivers the performance you need.

- Use in a fume hood when handling large quantities.
- Dispose of waste according to local chemical waste regulations.
Why This Product Stands Out
Unlike lower-grade alternatives, this anhydrous Iron(III) chloride offers:
- High purity (98%) for accurate experimental results
- Consistent batch-to-batch quality from Thermofisher
- Multiple pack sizes to suit different research needs
- Fast, reliable shipping from eqipped’s India-based warehouse
FAQs
What is the shelf life of anhydrous Iron(III) chloride?
When stored properly in a sealed container, it has a shelf life of 2-3 years. Always check for signs of moisture absorption before use.
Can I use this for water treatment experiments?
Yes, this lab-grade product is suitable for small-scale water treatment studies, though industrial applications may require different formulations.
Is this product suitable for educational lab experiments?
Absolutely. Many universities and colleges use this grade for chemistry practicals and research projects.
How should I dispose of unused Iron(III) chloride?
Neutralize with sodium bicarbonate or lime before disposal. Follow your institution’s chemical waste protocols.
What safety precautions should I take when handling this chemical?
Wear nitrile gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat. Work in a fume hood when possible, and avoid inhaling dust.
