It is a global specialty chemical company engaged in the business of manufacturing and marketing mineral products for use as pigments, pigment extenders, functional fillers and flame retardants used in the manufacture of paints, coatings, plastics and catalysts. The Company and its subsidiaries operate in the business of mineral product manufacturing in three geographic segments. Its products include: HITOX, ALUPREM, BARTEX / BARYPREM, HALTEX / OPTILOAD, TIOPREM, and SYNTHETIC RUTILE. Its main product, HITOX, a light buff-colored titanium dioxide pigment, is made from SR. Titanium dioxide is the most widely used primary pigment in paints, coatings, plastics, paper and many other types of products. HITOX, manufactured at plants located in both the U.S. and Malaysia, utilizes SR manufactured at TMM as its primary raw material. ALUPREM is its alumina trihydrate ("ATH") products were expanded in 2001 with the introduction of ALUPREM, which is manufactured at its European operation, TPT, in The Netherlands. BARTEX is manufactured at its U.S. operation from high grade barites (barium sulfate) utilizing a milling process. Barium Sulfate's high density is one of the primary reasons it is used in coatings. HALTEX, manufactured at its U.S. operation, is produced from Bayer grade alumina trihydrate (ATH) using some of the same production technologies as its other products. It is an environmentally-friendly flame retardant, smoke suppressant filler used in plastic and rubber products. TIOPREM is a series of high performance, heat stable colored TiO2 hybrid pigments offering cost savings through the partial replacement of expensive color pigments and white TiO2 in plastics and specialty paints & coatings. SYNTHETIC RUTILE is the basic building block for HITOX and TIOPREM, is manufactured at its Asian operation using the Benilite process for producing SR. Its products are currently marketed in the United States and in more than 60 other countries. It sells its products through a network of direct sales representatives employed by the Company and independent stocking distributors in the United States, as well as distributors and agents overseas. Its sales representatives sell directly to end-users and provide technical support and market guidance for its independent distribution network. The Company's competitors are E.I.
