ITW Polymers & Fluids (A Division of ITW Australia) manufactures a wide range of chemical products including lubricants, surface coatings, grouts and epoxy compounds. As a responsible corporate citizen we conduct ourselves in such a manner as to be both aware of, and to minimise, the impact of our activities on the environment.

- Complying with all applicable environmental laws and to the establishment and implementation of responsible and appropriate environmental management practices where laws do not exist
- Reducing and eliminating pollution from our activities

In order to achieve these objectives, we have implemented and documented an Environmental Management System that includes compliance, training and performance criteria based on the latest environmental practices.
We believe ITW Polymers & Fluids can continue to grow a successful business and contribute to the sustainable development of Australia’s resources. We will ensure that company operations meet or exceed best practice standards of environmental protection.
