Ferric chloride (FeCl3) liquid solution phase. Dark brown appearance. 1. 4 specific gravity. 162. 21 Molecular weight. Boiling point: 110 °C . Freezing point: -50 °C. 1. 0 - 2. 0 pH (5 percent by volume). 100 grams/liter maximum copper holding capacity. 175-200 micro inch/minute at 50 - 55 degree C etch rate. 50 - 55 degree C operating temperature. ROHS Compliant. Health and Safety: Please see the 415 Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for further details on transportation, storage, handling, safety guidelines, and regulatory compliance. Application Instructions: For best results, follow the procedure below. If further directions for etching or making a printed circuit board (PCB), consult the photo fabrication process guide available free from your dealer. 1. Fully immerse copper board in solution. 2. Agitate until etching action is complete. To speed up etching: Warm the ferric chloride solution between 35 to 55 °C [95 to 131 °F]. ATTENTION! Do NOT heat ferric chloride solution above 55 °C [131 °F]. NOTE: Dilution is not recommended.
