Chlor-alkali products are indispensable in modern manufacturing. Chlorine is widely used in water disinfection, PVC production, and the synthesis of numerous chemicals such as hydrochloric acid, solvents, and pesticides. Its role in ensuring safe drinking water is perhaps one of the most significant public health contributions in industrial chemistry.

Sodium hydroxide has diverse applications, from pH regulation in water treatment to use in soap and detergent production. It is also critical in the paper and pulp industry for wood delignification, and in the food industry for peeling fruits and processing cocoa.

Hydrogen, while produced in smaller volumes compared to chlorine and sodium hydroxide, is an increasingly important byproduct. It is used in ammonia production, petroleum refining, and as a clean fuel in emerging hydrogen economy technologies.

The interconnectedness of these products with countless manufacturing processes underscores the economic and strategic importance of the chlor-alkali sector globally.
