The chlor-alkali industry is a cyclical business where the ECU value, which is the combined value of chlorine andcaustic soda, tends to move up and down with a cycle of about three years. With regard toethylenedichloride (EDC) prices and therefore the chlorine equivalent, the trend is usually counter cyclical to caustic soda. That is, when caustic soda prices are high, chlorine prices are low and vice versa.
