Iron(II) chloride  (Synonyms: Ferrofloc)

Cat. No.: HY-W019888 Purity: 99.99%
Handling Instructions Technical Support

Iron (II) chloride (Ferrofloc) is an active radical polymerization initiator, which is a transition metal chloride composed of Fe2+ and Cl ions. The ion association constant logKFeCl2 of Iron (II) chloride is −0.89. In acidic aqueous solutions, Iron (II) chloride forms solvated Fe2++2Cl ions as well as FeCl++Cl ion pairs. Without the addition of aluminum compounds, Iron (II) chloride drives the living radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate by generating transient radical growing species through homolytic reversible cleavage of the carbon-halogen end groups of organic halide initiators.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
