Main plant in Pilar

A model in the electrochemical industry in Argentina

Our plant is located at the heart of Pilar Industrial Park -Buenos Aires Province. It is a strategically located site provided with good transportation access into the City of Buenos Aires and connections with important motorways into the country's interior.

The plant is focused on the production of Chlorine-Soda. Due to its features and investments made, our plant is regarded as a model in the electrochemical industry in Argentina with a production of 100.000 tons per year. It is provided with cutting edge German technology in electrolysis units and by-product processing, using 100% membrane-based production.

Specialized engineers, technicians and operators, making up a team of 200 people, carry on the rigorous processing in a non-stop production environment, certified by ISO 9001:2008 standards.

Plant in Bernal

Our second processing unit is located in Bernal district, Buenos Aires Province. The plant is specifically focused on the production of Poly-aluminum Chloride, more commonly known as PCA.

PCA is a modern water purifier. Use of PCA has expanded rapidly due to its high safety and the economy of processes.

With a view to implementing PCA we have made a strong investment plan both in equipment and human resources, enabling us to supply this vital product for water treatment to all AySA water treatment plants which are currently in operation.

Products that improve people's quality of life

The Chloride we produce is a vital component of more than 85% of agrochemicals. It is also part of between 40 and 75% of the manufacturing of petrochemical and pharmaceutical products respectively. Besides being used in water treatment, it is, among other things, used in the production of PVC and other plastics for domestic applications. Chlorine-based plastics are used to make intravenous drips and blood bags.

Chlorine is a key and essential element without which we wouldn't be able to enjoy modern life. It is used in water treatment, as a germicide for effluent treatment, as a decolorizing agent in the textile and celluloid industry, as a metal recoverer and bleaching agent; moreover, it is fundamental in the pharmaceutical industry and in the manufacturing of PVC.

It is used in the saponification, mercerization, refining, and processing of cleaning products and reaction in a great number of chemical processes. The sectors with the highest consumption are paper mills, textile, chemical, cold storage, food, agroindustry and home hygiene.

It is highly valued for its pickling and di-oxidation properties. It also acts as an intermediary in the chemical synthesis and participates in processing PVC. It has a high neutralizing capacity, used by the soap industry to neutralize bleaching preparations and by the textile industry to neutralize alkalis. It is present in stamping, mercerizing and dying processes in the textile industry and in the production of glucose as an acidifier.

Our ideal:
to grow in harmony with the envinonment

As regards environment protection, our country has strict legislation on this issue. At the same time, we make investments in a sustainable way reaching an adequate balance between productivity and environmental care which may at times be higher than international standards.

We have standard procedures which include measurement of environmental impact to ensure work conditions are within pre-established standards, effluent treatment processes and strict Safety and Hygiene industrial regulations. We are currently focusing on the process of certification of ISO 14.001:2004.

We have modern drainage systems designed to process sewage and industrial waste through our own treatment units. Our plant in Pilar abides by the Environment Responsible Care Program which in our country is run by the Chamber of Chemical and Petrochemical Industry (CIQyP).

Rigorous treatment of the products also reaches their distribution for which we use containers developed with state-of-the-art technology so as to prevent any kind of spillage.

Building bonds with the community

Our premise is that the communities where we operate may develop from our growth, generating a reciprocal relationship and fostering dialog among all sectors: the State, the Community and the Enterprise.

As part of our Corporate Social Responsibility Program, we annually sponsor the Contest ‘Nosotros Queremos…' whose objective is to promote engagement actions among students who are attending the last three years of secondary education. This activity is organized together with Fundación Inclusión Social.

This initiative gives youngsters the opportunity to commit themselves to their local environment, acquiring experiences which connect them with values such as effort, perseverance, respect, creativity and team work.

This proposal aims at having students –gathered in groups– think what they may change in their environment, set themselves concrete and viable goals and generate alliances allowing them to materialize their actions. The members of the team which develops the best proven experience are awarded a study trip.

We are focused on sustainable development, i.e. in favour of the balance between economic growth, social wellbeing and the right use of natural resources and the environment.

As an enterprise we are role-players in the quest for integrated solutions with the objective of succeeding in an increasingly stable and prosperous environment.

Construyendo vínculos con la comunidad

Following this concept we select and train highly specialized teams with strong team spirit and a high level of commitment. The quality of our human assets and their vocation to build the future has turned Transclor into a leading enterprise in the electrochemical industry.

In terms of human resources we carry on policies which promote constant training, talent development and the right balance between personal and work life.
