Chemours is one of the world’s largest producers of high-quality titanium dioxide products for coatings, plastics and laminates. Its pigment plant at New Johnsonville, located around 20 miles from Titan.
Titan’s maiden mineral resource estimate has confirmed that it is one of the largest and most important critical mineral deposits in the US.
