Frequently Asked Questions about Potassium Ferricyanide for Cyanotype

What is potassium ferricyanide and what is it used for?

Potassium ferricyanide (K₃[Fe(CN)₆]) is a yellow-red crystalline powder that functions as a light-sensitive component in cyanotype. In combination with ammonium ferric citrate it forms the deep blue pigment Prussian Blue under UV light.

Is potassium ferricyanide dangerous or poisonous?

Although the cyanide is in the name, potassium ferricyanide is solid and safe in normal use. It is not an acutely toxic substance – the cyanide is tightly bound. Avoid heating above 300°C or mixing with strong acids, as toxic fumes may be released. Wear gloves and avoid ingestion or contact with mucous membranes.

How do I mix it for cyanotype?

Dissolve in equal proportion with ferric ammonium citrate (separate) in distilled water. Combine just before coating. Use a foam brush for an even distribution on paper or fabric.

What should I pay attention to when storing?

Store in a cool, dry place in a well-sealed container. Do not place in direct sunlight and protect from moisture to prevent crystal formation.

How many prints can I make with 250g?

On average, with 250g of potassium ferricyanide (together with 250g of ferric ammonium citrate) you can make 200 to 300 A5 size prints , depending on your coating technique.

What is the shelf life of this product?
