Kornél Balázs, Senior Chief Process Engineer and chemist at BorsodChem (Hungary), is also a passionate angler. He shares his hobby with millions worldwide, and almost every element of it, from high‑tech gear to water protection connects to Chlor‑Alkali.

Modern angling blends respect for nature with engineering. When an angler casts, Chlor‑Alkali industry is the quiet enabler behind stronger gear, more comfortable apparel and safety on the water.

The rod that never fails. Modern carbon‑fibre rods stay light yet tough because specialised resins, made from Chlor‑Alkali chemistry, bind the fibres.

The line: invisible yet strong. Nylon (made from alkali chemicals) is tough yet buoyant meaning it is easy to control by the angler.

Dry and warm amid the waves. Technical clothing relies on materials such as polyurethane and special membranes (such as neoprene) made from Chlor‑Alkali chemistry to keep water out and the angler warm.

Life jackets and safe boats. Chlor-Alkali chemicals help keep people safe on the water. PVC is found in life jackets surrounded by nylon fabric. It is also found in inflatable boats.
