ICL-IP is the world s largest producer of elemental bromine, and a leader in the production and marketing of bromine and bromine compounds, supplying over 33% of global demand. It also has a leading position in the manufacturing of phosphorus-based compounds for fire and QualityThe Dead Sea, which has the world s highest concentration of bromine, is a virtually unlimited source of supply.

2 These rich natural resources, together with a highly professional workforce, enable ICL IP to produce bromine and bromine-based chemicals as well as minerals of the highest quality, in the most efficient manner. Cutting-edge technology tamed by talented, knowledgeable and dedicated teams of individuals has further inspired ICL-IP to integrate the complementary chemistry of has resulted in diverse eco-friendly uses in industries such as FLAME RETARDANTS , plasticizers, hydraulic fluids, organic intermediates, water treatment, pharmaceutical chemicals, stabilizers, curing activators, viscosity enhancers, refractory materials.

3 Customer ServiceICL IP offers its customers the advantages of geographic proximity to major markets, internationally-based subsidiaries coordinating the supply of finished products to the customers doorstep, experienced technical support, and a workforce fully committed to quality and the protection of the Production and Marketing FacilitiesICL IP operates the world s largest elemental bromine production plant at the Dead Sea. The company s bromine compounds plants in Israel and the Netherlands, along with Sinobrom, a JV in China, offer customer-oriented manufacturing facilities based on long-standing technological expertise.

4 ICL-IP is the industry leader in the manufacture, distribution and service of phosphorus-based FLAME RETARDANTS , plasticizers, lubricants and hydraulic fluids, with production plants in the US, Germany and China. The company s worldwide marketing subsidiaries are: ICL-IP Europe , The Netherlands; ICL-IP Israel Sales Office; ICL-IP America Inc., USA; ICL-IP Japan Ltd., Japan; ICL Asia Ltd., Hong-Kong, ICL China, PR China and ICL Brazil, , Ecology and Quality AssuranceStrict adherence to international regulations on safety and environmental issues are core policies at ICL-IP, whose major plants have been granted ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 accreditation for Environmental and Safety Management Systems.

5 ICL-IP utilizes Total Quality Management, Lean and Six Sigma methodologies across its plants worldwide to ensure consistent quality and to achieve improvements in its processes. ICL-IP supports the goals of the new EU regulation, Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH Regulation, EC 1907/2006), which came into force on June 1, 2007. This regulation ensures the protection of human health and the environment, while minimizing animal testing and maintaining the competitiveness of the European chemical industry.

6 ICL-IP will fully comply with the requirements of REACH, and all other regulatory systems worldwide, for all its existing and new FLAME RETARDANTS . Furthermore, ICL-IP has actively initiated and developed a program to reduce waste production and environmental emissions through a code of good practice known as the Voluntary Emission Control Action Program customer!This brochure is designed as a working tool for your needs in FLAME retardancy. We, at the FLAME retardant Business Unit (FR BU) of ICL IP, offer the plastics industry the most effective FLAME RETARDANTS that help enhance consumer safety, while being committed to environmental concerns.

7 We invite you to make use of this brochure, benefit from our wide range of FLAME retardant solutions and contact us for updates of current activities and future to needs of Markets and IndustriesThe FR BU takes an in-depth view of the plastic industry s supply chain, so that its products and solutions are directly responsive to each market segment s special needs and challenges. We continuously study and monitor the requirements and trends of these market segments, including those of their supporting industries, which enables us to offer a valuable contribution to our customers by meeting their current needs and future RETARDANTS for Most ApplicationsUsing the vast natural resource of bromine and minerals in the Dead Sea, ICL-IP produces a series of high-quality FLAME retardant products, applicable to a wide range of plastics, polymers and polymer alloys.

8 ICL-IP also offers the world s most comprehensive range of phosphorus-based FLAME RETARDANTS , fire resistant plasticizers and hydraulic fluids for high demanding applications. Bromine- and Phosphorus-based FLAME RETARDANTS are considered as the two most efficient FR families, and in fact, constitute approximately 55% (in value) of total FR usage. ICL IP s portfolio also includes a few additional non-halogen- and non-phosphorus-based FRs such as high purity grades of Magnesium Hydroxide and Melamine , and SeriesAs a part of the FR BU s focus on market needs, we have initiated a unique approach by developing tailormade solutions.

9 Polyquel is a new, fully active and dust-free polymeric FLAME retardant series, constituting a step forward in complying with the industry s most stringent environmental guidelines such as European REACH and US TSCA legislations. SaFRon series for high demanding polyurethane foam applications. TexFRon series for high quality textile coating FLAME RETARDANTS for SustainabilityPolymeric FLAME RETARDANTS are sustainable products in accordance with many national and international human health and environmental regulations.

10 They have long been recognized as the safest and most elegant FLAME RETARDANTS of high molecular weight man-made materials. Non-leachingDue to their low solubility in water, polymeric FLAME RETARDANTS , once incorporated into the end-product plastic matrix, become integrated with the plastic and leaching is not expected to high molecular weight makes them unlikely to penetrate through the cell membranes of living tissues. Non-bloomingFurthermore, they do not migrate to the surface of the plastic during aging, thus eliminating any potential blooming in the finished product.
