Ferric Sulfate Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Ferric Sulphate
- iron(III) Sulfate
- iron(III) Sulphate
- Fe2(SO4)3
Ferric sulfate supplier for water treatment, industrial effluent, pigment and process buyers in Malaysia. Also written ferric sulphate and iron(III) sulfate, formula Fe2(SO4)3, this iron coagulant is selected where plants need turbidity, colour, suspended solids or phosphate control and prefer an Fe(III) sulfate source.
Commercial supply covers liquid coagulant solutions for continuous dosing and solid crystals or powder for on-site dissolution or industrial make-up. Grades are typically described by iron content, free acidity and insoluble matter. Send the form and target specification with the enquiry rather than assuming one commercial strength fits every plant.
In water, ferric sulfate hydrolyses to ferric hydroxide floc that sweeps suspended matter and supports phosphate precipitation ahead of settling or filtration. Palm oil mills, pulp and paper plants and other industrial sites use it in effluent clarification, while technical grades serve iron pigment manufacture and selected textile dyeing processes.
Send the required liquid or solid form, iron content or specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Ferric Sulfate grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Liquid ferric sulfate coagulant solution | aqueous solution | — | Continuous dosing in drinking water, municipal sewage and industrial effluent plants where a ready-to-dose iron coagulant is preferred. | Confirm drum, IBC or bulk packing with the quotation. |
| Solid ferric sulfate crystals or powder | yellowish to brown crystals or free-flowing powder | — | On-site dissolution, batch make-up and industrial processes that specify a solid iron(III) sulfate grade rather than a prepared solution. | Confirm bag or drum packing with the quotation. |
| Technical grade for pigment and process use | solid or solution as specified | — | Iron-based pigment manufacture, textile dyeing and other industrial processes where ferric sulfate is the iron source or coagulant intermediate. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Ferric Sulfate applications
Safety and handling
- Classification
- irritant
Store solid material sealed in a cool, dry place and protect solutions from freezing and from prolonged heat. Keep away from incompatible bases and reactive metals. Ferric sulfate can irritate skin, eyes and airways, so handle with gloves, goggles and suitable dust or splash protection, and rinse thoroughly with water on contact.
Common questions about ferric sulfate
What is ferric sulfate used for?
Ferric sulfate is mainly used as an iron coagulant in water and wastewater treatment to remove turbidity, colour, suspended solids and phosphate. It is also used in iron pigment manufacture, textile dyeing and selected industrial processes that need an Fe(III) sulfate source.
Should I request liquid or solid ferric sulfate?
Liquid coagulant solution is commonly chosen for continuous plant dosing. Solid crystals or powder are selected when the buyer dissolves material on site or the process specifies a solid grade. State the dosing method and any target iron content so the suitable form can be quoted.
How does ferric sulfate differ from ferric chloride?
Both are iron(III) coagulants, but they use different anions and are not interchangeable without checking dose, alkalinity demand and plant performance. If your specification names ferric sulfate, iron(III) sulfate or Fe2(SO4)3, enquire against that identity rather than substituting ferric chloride.
What specifications should a buyer provide?
State liquid or solid form, required iron content or assay, free acidity limits if known, preferred packing, quantity and delivery location. For an existing plant dose, include the current specification or performance target so the quoted grade can be matched more closely.
Is ferric sulfate suitable for phosphate and colour removal?
Yes. Ferric sulfate is widely used for phosphate precipitation and for reducing colour and suspended solids in municipal and industrial waters. Suitability still depends on raw-water quality, pH and the rest of the treatment train, so include the application details in the enquiry.
What details are needed for a ferric sulfate price enquiry?
Provide the form or grade, target specification, quantity, delivery location and any documentation or packing preference. Availability, commercial terms and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.
