What is the NF Supply Agreement etc worth the AJX ?, page-3

Okay so from their website ICL are Globally No:1 in phosphorus based flame retardants.


Sales in their Industrial Products segment last year were $1.3 billion of which phosphorus based flame retardants is one of 3 units under that segment - unfortunately however I don't know if the FR unit sales make up 10-20-30-40 or what % of that figure.



The use of ICL FR and their applications looks interesting - with many of these areas Alexium having already seen some involvement in and which hopefully can be revived with ICL over the coming years.



I had a worry that ICL may not want to phase out the use of Bromine in FR which would result in loss of Bromine product sales - but Bromine has other uses - which are probably not good for the environment either though ......
"Bromine is used in many areas such as agricultural chemicals, dyestuffs, insecticides, pharmaceuticals and chemical intermediates. Some uses are being phased out for environmental reasons, but new uses continue to be found. Bromine compounds can be uses as flame retardants."



So potentially over the long term if ICL play along this could be a great collaboration for both companies.
