Earthwise™ is a division of Albemarle Corporation. Earthwise represents a family of products that follows strict environmental-friendly standards, along with practicing green chemistry principles.

Introducing a new generation of green chemistry.
Product safety, benefits society and friendly to the planet.

For more than a hundred years, our company has been developing new technologies to improve lives around the globe. We invest millions of dollars in research produced by the brightest minds, chemists and environmentalists.  We employ thousands of hard working people from communities around the world, all to keep us safe, healthy and make our every day lives more convenient and enjoyable.

It’s no surprise that you have not heard of us.
Our company, like many chemical companies, does not make products that are sold directly to consumers, so our names are not familiar to most people. 

We are Albemarle, a global leader in specialty chemistry solutions used by manufacturers of plastics, polymers, electronics and other materials that often require flame retardant solutions, among other components, for commercial, industrial and consumer products.
We are focused on improving chemicals to save lives, enrich the quality of life and protect the planet. Whether you are watching a television, sitting on a sofa, taking a commercial airline flight, or swallowing ibuprofen to relieve a headache, we’ve been a part of making those products perform and keep you safe.

As society and the world evolve, we respond.
We know consumers, businesses, NGO’s (non-government organizations), government leaders and organizations everywhere are stepping up their interest and actions concerning environmental and safety issues. We share those values.

With pride, we announce Earthwise, our new family of eco-friendly solutions.
The Earthwise brand represents our company’s commitment to enriching lives, green chemistry and the planet’s sustainability.

Our first Earthwise product comes from our Fire Safety and Polymers group and is called GreenArmor™.  GreenArmor is a breakthrough in fire safety technology because it saves lives, protects property and is friendly to the earth.

Earthwise is a company-wide initiative and will soon launch products from our other specialty chemistry divisions.

Earthwise, a division of Albemarle, is a company-wide program that researches, develops and markets the company’s green technologies. This broad environmental approach brings together dedicated scientists, marketers and resources to ensure the goals of non-bioaccumulation, low toxicity, recycle capability and low carbon footprint are incorporated into the development of new products and the manufacture of current offerings.
