In the 1980s ICI formed an Advanced Materials business, dealing in high performance plastics and composite materials.
1987 The Advanced Materials Group of Welwyn Garden City won a Queens' Award for Technology for its development of PEEK for use in a variety of demanding applications[1]. Another part of the Group, at Runcorn, developed a technique for manufacturing ceramic superconductors[2]
1993 ICI was to sell Fiberite, of Arizona, (acquired with Beatrice Chemicals in 1984) which would mark the exit from the advanced materials field[3]
