| DuPont starts construction of new facility in New Johnsonville Construction has begun on a new 100 million pound per year titanium tetrachloride production facility at the DuPont titanium dioxide plant in New Johnsonville, Tenn. Plans for the new $30 million facility were announced last October. The unit is expected to begin operations in the summer of 2008. Unique titanium dioxide manufacturing technology allows DuPont to increase titanium tetrachloride production without affecting the company's capacity to produce titanium dioxide at New Johnsonville. DuPont is the world's largest manufacturer of titanium dioxide, a white pigment widely used in the coatings, plastics and paper industries. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Construction News :: home page |
