Chemours Co (NYSE: CC) is a specialty chemicals company that manufactures fluoroproducts, titanium dioxide pigment, and advanced performance materials. It earns revenue through direct product sales across three segments: Thermal & Specialized Solutions, Titanium Technologies, and Advanced Performance Materials. Chemours was spun out of E.I. du Pont de Nemours on July 1, 2015, and is headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware. The Thermal & Specialized Solutions segment sells refrigerants under the Freon and Opteon brands, competing against Arkema, Daikin Industries, Orbia, Solstice Advanced Materials, and Chinese F-gas producers. The Titanium Technologies segment manufactures TiO2 pigment under the Ti-Pure brand from three production facilities in the U.S. and Mexico, with nameplate capacity of approximately 1.1 million metric tons per year as of the FY2025 10-K filed 2026-02-24. The company operates mineral sands mines and separation facilities in Florida and Georgia, and a repackaging and distribution facility in Belgium. Legacy litigation exposure and regulatory-driven refrigerant transitions are material factors shaping the business.
