Electrochemistry & Derived Specialties

Chlorine, the second product of brine electrolysis, has become an essential base material. Every step has been taken to ensure the safety of chlorine production, storage, transportation and handling, from the factory to the end user.

Chlorination is the most widely used water disinfection treatment in the world due to its powerful and long-lasting bactericidal properties. Chlorine is used to produce numerous types of plastic (PVC, polyurethane, polycarbonate and epoxy resins) and is a vital element in the manufacture of various commonly used materials such as silicone and silicium. It also serves in the synthesis of most medicines.
