‘Dulux’ is one of the world’s best-known decorative paint brands with a strong presence in Asia, a fast-growing market for paint. National Starch’s ‘EASY-PAC’ gives customers the lowest temperature packaging adhesive on the market along with low-maintenance application technology. ‘Hi-maize’ is a fast-growing range of slowly digestible starches that act as dietary fibre when added to foods, from bread to breakfast cereal. ICI Paints scientists have reformulated ‘Cuprinol’ exterior wood treatment into a popular, easy to apply sprayable format.   Elotex’s specialty construction polymers are in demand in China’s fast-growing construction market.
           
                 
 
 
 
 
       
Specialty polymers from National Starch give fixative, conditioning, thickening, aesthetic or convenience properties and characteristics to hair care and skin care products.   Alco Chemical’s unique natural, starch-based polymers provide effective and environmentally safe treatment for effluent water.   “We know the colours that go”, ‘Dulux’ UK’s 2006 advertising campaign, helped support further growth in a challenging DIY market.   Ablestik is a world leading supplier of adhesives that connect and protect integrated circuits in phone cameras, MP3 players, computers and electronic game systems.   ICI’s paints are market leaders in Argentina and Uruguay with a strong number two position in Brazil.

ICI Group summary     
   

 

ICI’s core coatings, adhesives, starch and synthetic polymer businesses comprise ICI Paints and the adhesives, specialty starches, specialty polymers and electronic materials operations of National Starch. These businesses serve diverse consumer and industrial markets through some 40 strategic business units, with an array of market leadership positions around the world. In addition, a number of Regional and Industrial businesses remain in ICI’s portfolio.

During the year, the Group has changed its reporting segments. The National Starch business, previously reported as one segment, is now reported as four segments: adhesives, specialty starches, specialty polymers and electronic materials. This change reflects a move to global business units during 2006. Current and prior year segment information has been updated for the change.

The businesses are supported by Group functions that provide expertise in the disciplines of information technology, procurement, human resources, operations, finance, sustainability, safety, security, health and the environment (SSHE), and applied technology.
