Join The Chlorine Institute
Membership
The Chlorine Institute (CI) founded in 1924, is a not-for-profit trade association of companies that are involved in the safe production, distribution and use of chlorine, sodium and potassium hydroxides and sodium hypochlorite, and the distribution and use of hydrogen chloride. Because of chlorine's nature and its widespread and varied use, the promotion of its safe handling has long been an accepted responsibility of its producers, packagers, distributors and users. The Institute is the focal point for their combined efforts.
The Institute has approximately 200 member companies located in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, Japan, and other overseas countries.
