CHEMICALS SEGMENT

The Chemicals segment is operated through its majority control of Kronos Worldwide, Inc. (Kronos). Kronos is a global producer and marketer of value-added titanium dioxide pigment (TiO2). TiO2, which imparts whiteness, brightness and opacity, is used for various manufacturing applications, including coatings, plastics, paper, fibers, food, ceramics, cosmetics, and other industrial products.
