The Chemours Co. recently announced it has inaugurated its new titanium dioxide (TiO2) production line at its Altamira plant in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas.

The Arjay brand name will remain, with products available through the current direct and distribution outlets.

The ceremony opened a new laboratory and an electrocoat (e-coat) aerospace primer pilot operation.

Attended by 500 adhesives and sealants professionals, the seminars covered several hot topics in adhesives and sealants.

Ashland will be the exclusive supplier of UV-curable coatings for Ravenwood linerless label applications in the Americas.

The agreement expands to include the states from Maine to Virginia as well as Iowa, Missouri, and Kansas.

The label verifies that the product’s amount of renewable bio-based ingredients meets or exceeds levels set by USDA.

Production will reportedly begin at its UK facility.

The combination of materials and machinery reportedly will save converters time, labor costs, and adhesive scrap.

The awards will recognize innovation in adhesive and sealant product developments.
