Moscow De-Icing Contract 
 
 
 
 
Zirax plc ("Zirax" or the "Company"), the AIM quoted speciality chemical company 
focused on the development, production and sale of oilfield process chemicals 
and de-icing solutions is pleased to announce that it has won the contract to 
supply 20,000 Metric Tonnes ('MT') of calcium chloride based de-icers to Moscow 
City Council for its 2009/10 winter season. 
 
 
This particular contract, worth $4.0m is principally comprised of Zirax's value 
added de-icing product IceMelt and means Zirax will supply its de-icing products 
to Moscow for a seventh consecutive year. 
 
 
Zirax's de-icing products are more efficient, as they penetrate the ice quicker 
than most other de-icers, melting ice and snow at temperatures up to -35 
Celsius, and better meets the environmental concerns of governments and local 
authorities, such as Moscow City Council, because of the significantly smaller 
quantities required to achieve better results. 
 
 
Commenting on this announcement, Fenlon Dunphy, Chief Executive of Zirax said: 
"Moscow City Council remains an important account for Zirax and we are delighted 
that the municipal has again chosen us to supply them with our value added 
de-icers. At the same time we continue to focus efforts on expanding our supply 
source, both at Rosignano, Italy and Ebensee, Austria, so we can meet the demand 
from our global client base for high performance de-icing and oilfield services 
products."
