The main products are caustic soda and ethylene dichloride, and to a lesser extent vinyl chloride monomer.

The electrolysis of brine produces aqueous caustic soda and chlorine gas. However, chlorine gas is difficult and dangerous to store and transport, so it is reacted with ethylene to create ethylene dichloride, which is a comparatively safe material from a transportation and storage perspective. Ethylene dichloride is used to create vinyl chloride, which is then reacted to create PVC (used in many applications including construction and automobile manufacture).
