KRONOS Worldwide, Inc. and its predecessors have
been producing titanium dioxide pigments (TiO2) since 1916. During this same
time period, the Titanium Pigment Corporation of Niagara Falls, New York, and
the Titan Co. AS, of Norway simultaneously began commercial production of this
new white pigment that was principally used in paints. Today, TiO2 is the
world's primary pigment for providing whiteness, brightness and opacity.
The original process pioneered by these operations
was the sulfate process, utilizing sulfuric acid, and producing anatase
pigments. In 1939, the company began marketing the first rutile pigment and,
over time, rutile pigments have completely replaced anatase in paints, coatings
and plastics. The company also provided ilmenite ore, an important feedstock for
certain of the company's sulfate plants, from its two mines. One of these mines
is still in operation in Norway and sells ore to third parties in addition to
supplying the company's internal needs.
As demand for TiO2 spread throughout Europe, the
company built manufacturing facilities in Germany and established sales
organizations in France and Belgium. Further growth in worldwide demand led to
the construction of additional production facilities in Belgium and Canada
during the late 1950's.
One of the most significant milestones in the
history of the company was the development and commercialization of its
proprietary chloride process technology. Its first chloride process plant was
commissioned in the late 1970's, and it was the first commercial TiO2 plant in
Continental Europe to utilize the chloride process technology. Today over 70%
of the company's TiO2 capacity is produced through the chloride process.
This technology has become the cornerstone of the
company's continued growth as it provides significant economic and
environmental advantages from reduced effluent waste treatment requirements and
more efficient utilization of energy and manpower resources. The chloride
process has become the process of choice for TiO2 manufacturers, although only
five producers have their own chloride process technology. Approximately
two-thirds of total global capacity is now chloride-based.
