Share:

Chemours and PCC have announced a collaboration to build a chlor-alkali plant adjacent to Chemours' TiO2 facility in Mississippi, USA. The plant, expected to commence construction in 2026 and operational in 2028, aims to optimize energy use and expand PCC's chemicals business.

Chemours and PCC have unveiled a joint venture to construct and manage a chlor-alkali plant adjacent to Chemours' titanium dioxide (TiO2) facility in DeLisle, Mississippi. The collaboration also entails a chlorine supply deal, contingent on standard preliminary terms.

Scheduled for completion in 2028, the state-of-the-art facility aims to optimize energy usage and will boast an annual capacity of 340,000 metric tons upon operation. PCC intends to market the by-product caustic soda to both strategic partners and the general market, with construction anticipated to commence in early 2026.

Chemours' President and CEO, Denise Dignam, remarked, "Our partnership with PCC Group to secure in-house chlorine supply at our TiO2 plant will not only enhance supply reliability but also reduce manufacturing costs. This strategic alliance, which incurs no upfront financial burden on Chemours, underscores our dedication to being a reliable TiO2 partner and improving customer service. It further reinforces our commitment to the Mississippi Gulf Coast."

Peter Wenzel, CEO of PCC SE, echoed, "Our collaboration with Chemours underscores PCC's dedication to expanding its chemicals portfolio through enduring partnerships. Leveraging our extensive experience, we are poised to expand our chemicals business safely and responsibly at this site. We are eager to collaborate with Chemours, a globally esteemed company, to set industry standards while exploring further regional opportunities."

The venture is expected to generate full-time employment for PCC's technical personnel and up to 1,200 temporary construction jobs during the construction phase.
