The Sabiñánigo factory is the leading European producer and fourth in the world of TCCA, a chloroisocyanurate used for the treatment of swimming pool water; and the leading Spanish producer of sodium chlorate, used to bleach paper pulp, and of sodium chlorite, used to make drinking water fit for human consumption.
This plant is part of the chlorine derivatives division and has a basic chemistry R&D centre. It employs more than 210 people.
