Flame Retardants

SAFR®

Systematic Assessment for Flame Retardants

WHAT IS SAFR®?

SAFR® is a framework that provides a rigorous evaluation of specific flame retardants in their applications, thus enabling users to choose the most sustainable product for the intended use. As such, SAFR® is committed to the sustainable management of chemicals from the very first stage of the product design.

HOW DOES SAFR® WORK?

SAFR® allows for the measurement of the sustainability profile of individual flame retardants based on their use. By using the latest available scientific data, SAFR® ensures the use of the appropriate flame retardant for the application in question and when needed, the replacement with an effective and more sustainable solution. Building on accepted hazard criteria, SAFR® assesses the extent to which hazards translate into potential risks due to possible exposure to humans and/or the environment during a product’s service life.

SAFR® has an exposure-based approach that utilizes quantifiable accelerated blooming, leaching or volatilization data from the base material matrix to thoroughly evaluate the use of the chemical in the chosen application. SAFR®’s assessment of the given flame retardant leads to the identification of:

  1. Uses that are either recommended, acceptable or not recommended, or
  2. Unacceptable hazards in which alternatives can be identified.

WHY SAFR®?

Flame retardants enable inherently flammable materials to meet rigorous fire safety standards. From everyday electrical & electronics, automotive, building & construction, flame retarded materials are an essential part of safe modern living. Nevertheless, fire safety should not compromise safety for human health and the environment: this is where the SAFR® framework goes the extra mile.

ICL set a challenge: could an easy-to-follow system be introduced for flame retardants to reward best in class based on performance, inherent properties and the level of potential human and environmental exposure in use? We believe SAFR® is uniquely positioned to meet the needs of consumer product manufacturers and can provide both a simple and science-based framework that goes beyond regulatory systems.

    Come as you are!

    As a global company, we value multicultural diversity, gender equality, multigenerational differences, LGBTQIA+, and offer support for people with disabilities. The diversity and inclusion of our employees are fully felt and create a friendly and welcoming work environment.

     

    ICL is proud to be among the top 325 public companies included in Bloomberg’s Gender-Equality Index (GEI). We live and breathe DIB—Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging-because we know that diverse companies are more creative and innovative. We are proud to welcome employees from all populations and walks of life, believing that together we have the ability to think beyond the ordinary and to achieve the extraordinary.

    Diversity

    At ICL, diversity means understanding, accepting, and valuing the unique differences between people.

    Inclusion

    Inclusion at ICL is about fostering an environment where everyone feels respected, valued, and encouraged to fully participate. It’s about much more than just being present—it’s about having the opportunity to contribute unique perspectives and being heard. Inclusion for us means​ embracing colleagues who look, act, and think differently.

    Belonging

    Belonging is where the true magic happens. It’s the feeling of being part of something bigger, of being seen, valued, and appreciated. Through deep caring, shared volunteer projects, and a culture where every individual matters, employees experience a deep genuine connection. Everyone is encouraged to make a difference, and we strive to make every employee feel safe, appreciated, and understood.

    Together, Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DIB) create a supportive, innovative, and productive environment where everyone has the opportunity to grow, succeed, and thrive. At ICL, we are stronger together.
