     770  0 Kommentare ICL Industrial Products to Close DECA Flame Retardant (FR-1210) Production Line

    TEL AVIV, Israel, May 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

    ICL  (NYSE & TASE: ICL), a global manufacturer of products based on specialty minerals that fulfill essential needs of the world's growing population in the agriculture, food and engineered materials markets, today announced that its ICL Industrial Products segment ("ICL IP") is closing a production line in Israel that produces its FR-1210 (DECA) flame retardant product.

    Due to the move to more sustainable products ICL previously decided to increase its R&D efforts to develop state-of-the-art alternatives to FR-1210 that are recommended by the SAFR™ (Systematic Assessment of Flame Retardant) tool that it has developed and will launch at CHINAPLAS in May 2015.

    ICL IP's closure of the FR-1210 production line stems from customers moving to alternative suppliers, the competitive market for FR-1210, which includes numerous Chinese producers, the aforesaid move to more sustainable products, and the high cost of resuming production following a long strike which makes it uneconomical.

    ICL IP remains committed to the flame retardant business and will work with all of its customers to ensure an orderly transition and phase out of its FR-1210 activities.
