ICI India: Businesses 

ICI India is a market leader in Rubber Chemicals in India. We have a growing presence world-wide with export to South East Asia, Europe, Africa, US and Far East. With an experience of several decades in the business, ICI has formed a strong bond with the Rubber Industry backed by expert technical service from a large team of Application Research and Development personnel reinforcing our commitment to providing the best solutions. Technical innovation is one of our core strengths which has enabled us to administer effective solutions to the tire and rubber industry. As a result, ICI enjoys the market leadership position and is constantly guiding the industry on rubber technology.

ICI Rubber Chemicals is also committed to providing comprehensive care to the environment it operates in, including its customers and business assoiciates. Worldwide, ICI has been an industry leader in the areas of Safety, Health and Environment, (SH & E) and regularly conducts its product stewardship programmes to ensure the safety of the environment in the life-cycle of the product, from manufacture to disposal after use.

Used in a wide variety of end products, basic rubber needs treatment for texture, strength and longevity. ICI India helps provide this with the country’s most diverse range of accelerators, antiozonants, antioxidants, retarders and peptisers manufactured at India’s first rubber chemicals plant, and at the new state-of-the-art antiozonant plant set up in technical collaboration with Sumitomo Chemicals of Japan, at Rishra, West Bengal.

Technology upgradation is our forte. The successful "Accinox" range of antioxidants bears testimony to our sustained research efforts. Indigenous research helped us develop seven new products in the last four years, giving us a host of leading brands such as "Accicure", "Accimel" and "Accitard", and making "Accinox ZC" one of the most sought after antiozonants of leading tyre manufacturers.

The stimulus for building a successful business lies in developing a keen understanding of customer needs and finding effective solutions for them. Collaborative studies enable greater interaction with customers. One such study helped us design an innovative packaging system for our major speciality antioxidant – "Accinox BL/ BLN". Packed in dispersible, rubber compatible thermoplastic materials to specific customer requirements, it enables accurate dosing, ensures safety and eliminates material loss during handling.

The Indian Rubber Industry is expected to grow on an annual trend of 8% in the medium term. The business is investing in the medium term to debottleneck capacities, improve conversion efficiencies, improve physical form and automate through instrumentation. Fresh investment is also being undertaken to expand capacity to manufacture products intended primarily for export market.
