Alum serves as a base for the majority of lake pigments.

  • Alum is used to fix pigments on a surface for example in paper marbling.
  • Alum is an ingredient in some recipes for homemade modeling compounds intended for use by children. These are often called "play clay" or "play dough" for their similarity to "Play-Doh".
  • In traditional Japanese art, alum and animal glue were dissolved in water, forming a liquid known as dousa, and used as an undercoat for paper sizing.

Een zuurweger (Beaumé-meter) wordt gebruikt om het gewicht aan te geven van de vloeistof. De zwartrode punt is verzwaard, zodat de zuurweger als een dobber in het zuur zal drijven. De schaal loopt van 0-70° Beaumé. In water zal de zuurweger zover zakken dat de meter 0 aangeeft. Des te zwaarder de vloeistof des te minder ver de zuurweger in de vloestof zal zakken. Er is per soort etsvloeistof een relatie aan te geven tussen de concentratie en het aantal graden Beaumé. Deze relatie is echter indicatief. IJzerchloride van 40% concentratie is ongeveer 43° Beaumé. IJzerchloride van 72% is ongeveer 48° Beaumé.

Ferric chloride

Ferric chloride is being used as a mordant for copper and zinc a long time. There are advantages in comparison with etching with nitric acid:

  • it etches more regularly than nitric acid
  • "under etching" is less an issue than with nitric acid
  • less aggressive with makes it more precise
  • safer, no aggressive fumes
  • it is a salt and not an acid.

Disadvantages:

  • it etches slower than nitric acid
  • the liquid is not transparent, you cannot see the etching process visually.

Iron chloride granules (crystals)
To make liquid iron chloride, mix1 part (by weight) of iron chloride with 1 part (by weight) of water.
One can also use the granules to add to existing liquid iron chloride. Then use the acido-meter to determine if the desired concentration is reached.
Note: A stronger concentration of iron chloride is not the same as an aggressive etchant. Often a lower concentration of iron chloride is faster than a high concentration. So try out.
