Chemours joins hands with PCC: New chlor-alkali project helps upgrade titanium dioxide production.
On December 13, The Chemours Company announced that PCC Group plans to build and operate a new chlor-alkali facility at its titanium dioxide (TiO2) plant in Delaire, Mississippi, USA. At the same time, the two parties have signed a chlorine supply agreement, which will take effect only after certain customary prerequisites are met. It is reported that the chlor-alkali facility will use the most advanced technology to maximize energy efficiency. Once completed and put into production, the plant's annual design capacity will reach 340,000 tons. The by-product of the project, caustic soda (sodium hydroxide), will be sold by the PCC Group to strategic partners or circulated through the open market. The project is expected to start construction in early 2026 and is scheduled to be officially put into production in 2028.
