Product Description
IRON(III) CHLORIDE HEXAHYDRATE is a hydrated form of ferric chloride, commonly used in various industrial and laboratory settings. It serves as a strong acid and a powerful oxidizing agent, making it useful in the production of dyes, pigments, and other chemicals. In laboratories, it is employed for pH adjustments, precipitation reactions, and as a catalyst in organic syntheses. Its hexahydrate form ensures stability and ease of handling, providing a reliable source of iron(III) ions for a wide range of applications.
Application
Applications of IRON(III) CHLORIDE HEXAHYDRATE span across industries including water treatment, where it aids in the removal of impurities; in the textile industry for dyeing fabrics; and in environmental remediation efforts, where it can neutralize pollutants. Its versatility in chemical reactions and its role in adjusting pH levels make it indispensable in both academic and commercial laboratories.
