Sodium chlorate was the first product from the chlorates family manufactured at the Sabiñánigo plant. A short time later, potassium chlorate production began followed, in 1966, by sodium chlorite production. Both these products use sodium chlorate as feedstock. After some 80 years in operation, the current facilities are comprised of a set of integrated units that use the most advanced technology.

With a combined annual capacity of 50,000 tons, Ercros is the leading Spanish producer of sodium chlorate and the only producer of potassium chlorate and sodium chlorite. It is also a major European producer and exports to many countries worldwide. A third of the sodium chlorate produced by Ercros is for internal use in the manufacture of the other two compounds in this product line.
