Arabian Chemical Center (ACC) is wholly owned and operated by Cristal and was established in the same year, 1991. ACC is the only Chlor-Alkali manufacturing unit in the Western Region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and has state of the art membrane technology for the Chlor-Alkali manufacturing process.

ACC has an installed production capacity of 80 MTPD of Chlorine Gas, a vital ingredient in the manufacture of pure Titanium Dioxide, all of which is consumed by Cristal. Along with Chlorine Gas, ACC also produces the following products:

Caustic Soda		90 MTPD
Hydrochloric Acid – 32% w/w		24 MTPD
Sodium Hypochlorite – 12% w/w		18 MTPD

After meeting Cristal’s TiO2 requirements, ACC converts a sizeable amount of its Caustic Soda Lye into Caustic Soda Flakes. ACC has earned a reputation in global markets since 1991 for its high quality Caustic Flakes.

The major uses of Chlorine are in paper and pulp, plastics, solvents, refrigerant, pigment, insecticides, dye stuffs, varnishes, silicon, rubber, and water treatment. Caustic Soda and Hydrochloric acid are the basic chemicals used by a number of chemical and petrochemical industries. Sodium Hypochlorite is used for bleaching in the pulp and paper industry and water treatment.
