Our ECU netbacks, including SunBelt, increased 7% compared to the same period in the prior year.

The sales decrease was primarily due to lower chlorine and caustic soda volumes of 11%, partially offset by higher ECU pricing, which increased 3% from the three months ended June 30, 2011. Bleach volumes increased 9% for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period last year, while hydrochloric acid volumes also increased 7% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Our operating rate for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was 79%, compared to the operating rate of 85% for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The lower operating rate for 2012 resulted from lower chlorine demand.
Chlor Alkali Products sales for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were $722.9 million compared to $679.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $43.2 million, or 6%.

Bleach volumes increased 9% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period last year, while hydrochloric acid volumes also increased 9% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Freight costs included in the ECU netback increased 4% for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to the same period last year, primarily due to higher railroad freight rates.

Chlor Alkali Products generated segment income of $149.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $118.0 million for the same period in 2011, an increase of $31.4 million. Chlor Alkali Products segment income was higher primarily due to higher ECU netbacks ($32.2 million), higher SunBelt earnings for the additional two months of our ownership ($8.3 million), primarily related to higher ECU netbacks and $7.5 million of additional income on the remaining 50% interest we acquired, and decreased operating costs ($1.7 million). These increases were partially offset by decreased volumes ($10.8 million).
