Store in a cool and ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat source. The package is sealed. It should be stored separately from oxidant, active metal powder, etc.


1. Its aqueous solution is acidic and corrosive. After hydrolysis, brown flocculent iron hydroxide is formed, which has strong cohesion. Easy deliquescence in the air, strong moisture absorption.

When heated in air, it becomes iron oxide and chlorine.



[application 1] It is mainly used as water treatment agent, mordant, catalyst, chlorination agent, and other iron salts. It is mainly used for water purification, printing board, pigment, dye and medicine

[application 2] Used as analytical reagent and corrosion agent for electronic devices


[application 3] Used as analytical reagent and thin layer chromatography reagent


[application 4] It is used as water purifying agent for drinking water and precipitant for wastewater treatment. Used as etchant for printed circuit.


[application 5] It is mainly used as water purifying agent for drinking water and precipitant for wastewater treatment and purification.


[Purpose 6] Nutritional supplements (iron fortifiers). It is used for infant milk powder, milk free food, etc.
