Campaign: Community Impact

At Chemours’ DeLisle manufacturing site in Mississippi, over 50 children and grandchildren of employees recently participated in the annual Kids Day -- an immersive experience designed to ignite curiosity in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). The event featured interactive experiments, site tours, and engaging demonstrations that brought the science of titanium dioxide (TiO2) to life.

As the world’s largest producer of TiO2, Chemours’ Titanium Technologies business plays a vital role in delivering the bright, durable, and efficient materials used in coatings, plastics, and laminates. At DeLisle, employees proudly showcased how Ti-Pure™ TiO2 is made and how it contributes to everyday products— from architectural coatings to furniture and footwear.

“DeLisle Kids Day is one of the many ways we show our commitment to the DeLisle and Pass Christian communities, and appreciation for the families of our employees,” said Robert Mills, DeLisle Environmental Health and Safety Consultant. “It’s important for the next generation to see how science and innovation come together at our site—and to understand the pride we take in the work we do.”

The event also highlights Chemours’ commitment to environmental stewardship and education. The DeLisle site is home to approximately 1,000 acres of Certified Wildlife Habitat and the local team actively supports local science fairs, robotics programs, and teacher development initiatives.

With a flexible manufacturing footprint and a nearly century-long legacy of innovation, Chemours’ Ti-Pure™ TiO2 is trusted by customers around the globe. By combining quality product, reliable supply, and expert service, Chemours Titanium Technologies team helps partners navigate evolving market needs while delivering the consistency and performance they expect.
