Please obtain the Ferric Chloride Safety Data Sheet for complete up-to- date information. Under normal situations the only protective equipment required in the use and handling of Liquid Ferric Chloride are splash proof chemical goggles and rubber gloves. Liquid Ferric Chloride will stain both clothing and skin and it is recommended that, to protect against this occurrence, other protect clothing be worn as is appropriate. Ferric Chloride reacts with many metals, However, most handling situations are reliably addressed through the use of common plastic materials such as FRP, PVC, Polyethylene, Polypropylene and Teflon.
