Ferric Chloride powder (Fe2Cl3) For PCB Etching - Ferrous chloride - 50 gm

Ferric Chloride (FeCl3) Powder for PCB Etching - 50 gm

Ferric Chloride (FeCl3) powder is a chemical compound utilized for printed circuit board (PCB) etching. This material facilitates the removal of unwanted copper from PCB substrates. While sometimes referenced as Ferrous Chloride in product titles, the active compound for etching is Ferric Chloride (FeCl3). The powder dissolves in warm water, forming an aqueous etching solution. This solution enables the creation of defined circuit traces. Each 50gm pack provides material for multiple etching operations. The resulting solution can be stored and reused. Proper safety protocols are required during handling due to its corrosive properties.
