About Chlor-alkali
Chlor-alkali chemistry is the foundation of many products that make our lives safe, healthy and more comfortable.
It is made by a relatively simple process that involves combining salt, water and electricity. From these ingredients, chlorine and caustic soda/ potash are produced. Even hydrogen can be made from this electrochemical reaction.
From the many products that can be made from these, Euro Chlor works closely with several key Cefic groups supporting these chemistries.
ChloroAlkane SECTOR Group (CASG)
European Chlorinated Solvent Association (ECSA)
Sodium Chlorate SECTOR Group (SCSG)
Potassium SECTOR Group
