Ferrous Chloride, also known as Iron(II) chloride, is a pale green to yellowish compound used extensively in water treatment, metallurgy, and chemical synthesis. It is typically supplied as anhydrous powder or in aqueous solution. Its reductive properties and cost-effectiveness make it a staple in several industrial operations, particularly where iron content is needed as a precursor or reactant. Ferrous Chloride or Ferrous dichloride is preferred in environmental remediation & chemical processing industries for wastewater purification, pigment manufacturing, and iron surface modification. This FeCl2 has reducing characteristics make it especially useful inFeCl2 processes requiring conversion of ferric to ferrous states.

*Cost-Efficient Iron Source: Economical for iron-based reactions *Oxidation-Sensitive: Requires inert packaging to prevent ferric conversion *Liquid & Solid Supply Formats: Available as powder or solution (20–30% concentration) *High Reactivity: Fast-acting in acidic or aqueous systems *Customizable pH / Purity Grades: Tailored for water treatment, chemical, or textile use
Yes, both forms are available. Liquid (20–30% solution) and anhydrous powder based on application.
Protective gear is required; compound is moisture-sensitive and mildly corrosive. Avoid inhalation and contact with skin/eyes.
Typically 25–30% FeCl₂ by weight, customizable as needed for process industries.
Only food/pharma-grade forms (rarely available). Industrial grade is not suitable for potable water treatment.
Yes, FeCl₂ oxidizes to FeCl₃ (ferric chloride) on exposure to air/moisture. Requires inert packaging.
COA, MSDS, TDS, Reach registration certificate, GHS label and SDS sheets.
MOQ starts at 1 MT for solid, 1,000 L for solution. Lead time typically 7–10 days.
Yes, standard bulk packaging available for international transport. Export documentation provided.
