1Kg Ferric chloride anhydrous FeCl3 96% Powder PCB Etching
 
Important Information
Add the dry powder little-by-little to a larger volume of water. Ferric Chloride produces a great deal of heat when wet. Never add water to the powder. 
Ferric Chloride will also fume in moist air. It is highly hygroscopic and can absorb enough moisture from the air to dissolve itself into a liquid.
Ferric Chloride Anhydrous (FeCl3) is commonly used as an etchant.
To make a powerful etching solution for Damascus knives, add 150-300grams of Ferric Chloride to 1 litre of distilled water. 
Etching speed will depend on concentration, temperature, and agitation.

Skin protection
Hand protection
Wear suitable gloves. Chemical protection gloves are suitable, which are tested according to EN 374. For special purposes, it is recommended to check the resistance to chemicals of the protective gloves mentioned above together with the supplier of these gloves. The times are approximate values from measurements at 22 ° C and permanent contact. Increased temperatures due to heated substances, body heat etc. and a reduction of the effective layer thickness by stretching can lead to a considerable reduction of the breakthrough time. If in doubt, contact manufacturer. At an approx. 1.5 times larger / smaller layer thickness, the respective breakthrough time is doubled / halved. The data apply only to the pure substance. When transferred to substance mixtures, they may only be considered as a guide.
