Israel Polymers & Coatings Suppliers

Carmel Olefins is Israel's answer to a question most countries answer with imports: where does locally made polyolefin resin come from? The company is the country's leading producer of polyethylene and polypropylene, running an integrated petrochemical complex at the Haifa Bay industrial zone, directly adjacent to the Bazan refinery that feeds it. Its output covers low-density polyethylene (LDPE), linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene (PP), in grades for films, pipes, injection molding and other conversion processes. For an Israeli processor, the practical attraction is having a domestic source of consistent resin that complements imports — which matters most when lead times and logistics, not price alone, decide whether a production line keeps running. The integration is genuine rather than on paper: feedstock — naphtha and other refinery streams — arrives from the neighbouring Bazan refinery, so the supply chain is short and the logistics predictable. Buyers are plastics processors, film and pipe extruders, packaging manufacturers and polymer distributors. Quotes are given per grade and volume, and delivery can be ex-works or delivered depending on the agreement. A complete enquiry states the polymer type, grade, melt flow index and intended application.

Kafrit Industries

Chemicals

Kafrit Industries makes the small things that decide how plastic behaves. Founded in 1973 and headquartered at Kibbutz Kfar Aza in southern Israel, the company develops and produces color masterbatches, additive masterbatches and performance compounds for plastics processors — the concentrated pellets that a converter blends into resin to give it its final character. The product range includes white and color masterbatches, UV stabilizer masterbatches, functional additive masterbatches, polymer compounds and, increasingly, sustainable and recycled solutions. In practice these impart color, UV stability, flame retardancy, anti-static and anti-block performance to products across packaging, agriculture, construction, automotive and consumer goods — the properties that determine whether a film survives a season outdoors or a component meets a fire rating. Kafrit operates as a multinational group, with production sites across Europe, North America, South America and Asia, plus subsidiaries such as Kafrit Advanced Compounds serving extruders and converters worldwide. Its buyers are plastics processors, film and pipe producers, and brand owners who specify the additive performance rather than just the polymer. A quote depends on the base polymer, the target property (UV, flame retardancy, anti-static, color), the let-down ratio and the processing temperature; custom formulations are developed per application, so a clear brief shortens development.

Tosaf Group

Chemicals

Tosaf Group is one of the world's leading independent masterbatch producers — a position it holds by staying focused on additives rather than trying to be a general polymer supplier. Founded in 1986 and headquartered in Israel's Galilee region, it has built plants and sales offices across Europe, North America, South America, Asia and the Middle East. The portfolio covers white and black masterbatches, color masterbatches, UV and light stabilizer additives, flame retardants, and slip, anti-block and anti-fog additives, plus sustainable masterbatches. These serve agriculture — greenhouse films and irrigation — as well as automotive, building and construction, electrical and electronics, packaging and consumer goods. What sets the company apart is an application-driven approach: tailor-made formulations for demanding uses such as geosynthetics, cable compounds and high-performance films, where an off-the-shelf additive would not hold up. Its customers are plastics processors, film producers and specifiers who need engineered additive performance rather than commodity resin — usually because a standard product has already failed to meet a standard or a service life. Engagements are technical from the start: base polymer, application, target standard or property, and processing conditions. Technical teams support formulation development and field trials, which is why early involvement tends to produce a better result than a simple price request.
