Sustainable Solutions

Industrial Applications

ICL’s industrial chemical know-how and our access to mineral resources serve industries beyond the agricultural sector. Many of our specialty products were developed and are in use by a range of other manufacturing and infrastructure sectors, including pharmaceuticals, food and beverages, home furniture and appliances, construction and even electric power utilities. \

Innovative, Sustainable and Cost Efficient Flame Retardants

ICL Industrial Products is making significant breakthrough in the marketplace by expanding its sustainable and efficient flame retardants portfolio. New products are in line with an ICL-IP resolution to provide sustainable flame retardants to the marketplace.

9.4

By 2030, upgrade infrastructure and retrofit industries to make them sustainable, with increased resource-use efficiency and greater adoption of clean and environmentally sound technologies and industrial processes, with all countries taking action in accordance with their respective capabilities.

Safer and naturally based personal care products

CareMag™ D fills the Antiperspirant and Deodorant (APD) industry requirements for natural, non-toxic, hypoallergenic ingredients. ICL-Specialty Minerals has developed a safer and naturally based personal care product.

3.9

By 2030, substantially reduce the number of deaths and illnesses from hazardous chemical and air, water and soil pollution and contamination

Merquel®

The UNEP Global Mercury Partnership is an entity dedicated to protecting human health and the environment from the impacts of mercury and reducing its release on a global basis. It is carrying on the international negotiations for establishing a legally-binding agreement regarding mercury emissions.

Coal burning power plants are today’s largest source of mercury pollution in the environment. The Merquel® product line, launched by ICL Industrial Products at the end of 2008, is based on inorganic bromides, which enable efficient neutralization of mercury – a 90% reduction in mercury emissions.

Energy and water savings in UHT Milk Industry

ICL is providing a whole range of phosphate based solutions for the dairy industry. One of the products is JOHA KM2, a complexing Calcium-Ions material that prevents insoluble Calcium salt formation. It increases the run time of dairy processing equipment. This results in less frequent cleaning steps, and improving the efficiency of cleaning. JOHA KM2 also allows for efficient heat transfer during the heating process, which reduces energy consumption.

On top of that, savings are achieved by reducing the number of cleaning cycles in a milk evaporator. That results in:

reduction of water used
reduction of Nitric acid
reduction of Nitrates/Nitrite in wastewater

Anti-Corrosion products

ICL’s rust converters help to preserve steel and allow the re-use and restoration of rusted metal to a finished look vs. disposing of the rusted steel parts.

By complexation with iron oxide, our products create an impermeable black iron oxide layer which slows down any further asset corrosion.

Rust converters chemically bond to the rust and seal it. This is a low cost solution to an expensive problem.
