Chlor-Alkali chemistry helps in many advanced technologies.

It helps to make microchips and materials for tablet computers, laptops, and smartphones. It is also key in high-precision lasers and batteries for the next generation of high-tech innovations.  

Chlor-Alkali chemicals are critical in other modern technologies such as:

• Neodymium chloride helps amplify signals in trans-Atlantic communication cables but is also used to form lasers that are used in eye-surgery, dentistry and chemical analysis,
• Chlorine gas helps to purify titanium dioxide which is being used in pavement coatings to remove polluting street gases. This titanium dioxide is also being used in 3D printers to make radiation shielding for the International Space Station,
• Light-weight prosthetic limbs and credit cards are all made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a key chlor-alkali material,
• Hydrogen, a key Chlor-Alkali co-product, can be used in fuel cells as a potential future energy source.
