Ferric Nitrate Solution is a clear, reddish brown liquid solution.
Ferric Nitrate Solution plays an important role in many industries, including:
Electronics
Ferric Nitrate is commonly used in the electronics industry to create a number of materials that are used to improve the functionality, appearance, and lifespan of electronic products.
Textiles
Ferric Nitrate is used by the textile industry, specifically in the permanent solution-dyed fabric industry. It is an efficient and cost effective way to fix reaction dyes and polymer dyes to cellulose fibers such as cotton. Ferric nitrate acts as a catalyst to create chemical bonds between the dye molecules and cellulose molecules. This causes the dye molecules to become fixed permanently onto the fibers that are dyed with it.
Catalyst
Ferric Nitrate can be used as a catalyst increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself being used or changed. A catalyst speeds up chemical reactions by providing an alternative reaction pathway with a lower activation energy. While the catalyst itself is not consumed in the course of the reaction, it may be inhibited, deactivated, or destroyed by products of the reaction.
