AGC is proud to organize the first educational and networking event for chlor-alkali producers in North and South America. This event is intended for producers of all levels of experience. AGC is holding the FLEMION® Membrane and Chlor-Alkali Technology Symposium at the Ritz-Carlton Orlando this October. The theme of the event is, “Get Energized for…
AGC Chemicals Americas recently opened a 600+ square foot lab in Exton, Pennsylvania. The lab will provide brine/membrane testing services for our chlor-alkali producer customers. Our goal is to provide analysis and results data that aids our customers’ continuous improvement efforts. The lab is equipped with personnel and instruments to analyze brine and raw salt and…
Caustic soda (sodium hydroxide), caustic potash (potassium hydroxide), chlorine, and hydrogen-basic chemical are critical ingredients used in products all over the world. These chemicals are used in a wide variety of household and industrial products including soaps, cleaners, and electrolytes in batteries. Electrolysis requires a significant amount of energy, so it’s critical to find any…
Our chlor-alkali experts recently participated in the Chlorine Institute’s annual technology symposium and expo. We had the opportunity to learn from professionals about the industry’s latest advances and challenges. We also discussed the unique advantages of our line of FORBLUE® FLEMION fluorinated ion exchange membranes in high-quality caustic soda and caustic potash production. The Chlorine…
Chemical separation is used to isolate components of a substance for analysis, reclamation or purification. Separation methods include dialysis, electrolysis, filtration, evaporation, distillation and chromatography.

Last month, AGC hosted the Chlor-Alkali Technology Symposium. This was the first event of its kind for chlor-alkali producers in North and South America. The event was well-received by all attendees, providing them with an engaging learning experience from technology presentations. Much of the learning took place away from the sessions though, as industry professionals…
Ion exchange membranes are semipermeable membranes that separate dissolved ions in a liquid. Depending on the membrane’s electric charge, they allow certain ions to pass through while blocking others. Ion exchange membranes are used in manufacturing processes that require treatment and purification. Membrane technology is more cost-effective than evaporation technology because it is not energy-intensive,…
Membrane-based electrolysis and electrodialysis use an electrical field to separate charged and non-charged molecules. Cation exchange membranes are used to produce or recover chemicals by electrolysis processes, and industrial processes require membranes that are highly resistant to chemicals. Fluorinated cation exchange membranes with a sulfonic acid group provide this resistance and other performance advantages like…
