ICL Potash
The Potash division produces and sells mainly Potash, Salts, PolysulphateⓇ and Magnesium.
Potash, the main product of this division, is a key fertilizer in the global agriculture and food chain. Potash helps to regulate the physiological functions of plants and improves plant resilience, providing crops with protection from drought, disease, parasites and cold weather. Potash does not require additional chemical conversion to be used as a nutrient fertilizer.
ICL leverages its well-positioned and unique Potash assets, as well as its logistical advantages, to be among the three most competitive suppliers in its key target markets, including the EU, Brazil, India, South-East Asia and China.
At ICL Boulby, the Company focuses on the continuously increasing production of Polysulphate, being the first and sole supplier of this new and unique fertilizer. It is a unique organic fertilizer containing four key plant nutrients (sulphur, potassium, magnesium and calcium).
ICL has well-positioned, unique Potash assets combined with significant logistic advantages to service key markets, including the EU, Brazil, India, South-East Asia and China.
The division also produces and sells pure Magnesium and Magnesium alloys, as well as Chlorine and Sylvinite. Magnesium is considered to be the lightest structural metal. One of the main characteristics of magnesium is a higher strength‑to‑weight ratio compared with other metals – mainly steel and aluminum.
