Chemours Aniline Will Go To Dow

by Alexander H. Tullo
November 30, 2015 | A version of this story appeared in Volume 93, Issue 47

Chemours is selling its Beaumont, Texas, aniline plant to Dow Chemical for $140 million. For Chemours, the sale is part of a restructuring program inaugurated upon its spin-off from DuPont in July. Dow, which uses aniline to make the polyurethane raw material methylene diphen­yl diisocyanate, had been DuPont’s largest aniline customer for many years. Dow will continue to buy the chemical from Chemour’s Pascagoula, Miss., plant, which Chemours is retaining.
