What is Ferric Chloride 40%?
Ferric Chloride — also known as Iron(III) Chloride or Iron Trichloride — is an inorganic chemical compound with the molecular formula FeCl₃ and CAS number 7705-08-0. It is one of the most widely used industrial coagulants and etchants in the world.
In its industrial liquid form, Ferric Chloride is supplied as a 40% aqueous solution — a dark brown, strongly acidic liquid with a relative density of approximately 1.46 at 25°C and a pH of 1.5–3.0. It works by reacting with water to form iron hydroxide flocs that attract and bind suspended particles, making it highly effective in water treatment and effluent applications.
Hazchem Chemicals LLC supplies Ferric Chloride 40% solution with consistent concentration quality and reliable bulk availability for industrial and municipal customers across the UAE.

Ferric Chloride vs. Ferric Sulphate
For water treatment professionals in the UAE choosing between iron-based coagulants, understanding the differences in chemistry and application performance is key:
| Feature | Ferric Chloride (FeCl₃) | Ferric Sulphate (Fe₂(SO₄)₃) |
|---|---|---|
| pH Range | Effective across wide pH range | Best at neutral to slightly alkaline pH |
| Coagulation | Fast, strong floc formation | Good floc, less chloride residual |
| Corrosivity | Highly corrosive — requires HDPE/lined equipment | Corrosive — also requires resistant equipment |
| Phosphorus Removal | Excellent | Good |
| Primary Use | Water treatment, PCB etching, sludge dewatering | Water treatment, paper production |
What are the Industrial Applications of Ferric Chloride 40%?
Ferric Chloride is a versatile chemical that serves as a critical processing agent across many industries in the UAE and GCC region.

Chemical Properties of Ferric Chloride
Ferric Chloride (FeCl₃) is a strong Lewis acid that dissolves readily in water to form a dark brown, highly acidic solution. In water treatment, it hydrolyses to form iron hydroxide (Fe(OH)₃) flocs that effectively bind and remove colloidal particles, suspended solids, and phosphates from water and wastewater streams.
Due to its strongly corrosive nature, Ferric Chloride 40% solution must be stored and handled in corrosion-resistant equipment such as HDPE tanks, lined steel vessels, or fibreglass-reinforced containers. It should never contact carbon steel or galvanised surfaces.
Its wide effective pH range (4.0–9.0) for coagulation makes it one of the most versatile and robust coagulants available for water treatment applications in the UAE's varied municipal and industrial settings.
Benefits of Ferric Chloride in Water Treatment
- Excellent turbidity and suspended solids removal
- Highly effective phosphorus removal from wastewater
- Improves sludge settling and dewaterability
- Works effectively across a wide pH range (4.0–9.0)
- Fast, strong floc formation for efficient clarification
- Cost-effective coagulant with reliable bulk supply availability
Storage and Safe Handling of Ferric Chloride
Storage Requirements
Ferric Chloride 40% solution must be stored in corrosion-resistant containers — HDPE tanks, lined steel tanks, or fibreglass vessels. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Ensure secondary containment for all bulk storage to prevent spills reaching drainage or the environment. Keep away from strong bases, reactive metals, and alkalis.
Safe Handling
Ferric Chloride is a corrosive, acidic chemical. Always wear appropriate PPE including chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles or face shield, and acid-resistant protective clothing. Avoid skin and eye contact. In case of contact, rinse immediately with large amounts of water. Ensure adequate ventilation in handling areas.
