Venator Materials
Operating globally from its base in the United Kingdom, Venator Materials PLC and its affiliated companies specialize in the production and distribution of diverse chemical products. Its business activities are structured into two principal divisions: Titanium Dioxide and Performance Additives. The Titanium Dioxide division supplies various forms of titanium dioxide (TiO2), including rutile, anatase, and ultrafine grades. These are essential components across a wide range of applications, such as paints and coatings, printing materials, plastic formulations (like PVC window frames and masterbatches), personal care items (cosmetics and pharmaceuticals), food products, synthetic fibers (polyester and polyamide), and catalytic processes. Within the Performance Additives segment, the company furnishes barium and zinc-based additives, which are utilized in protective coatings, films, paper manufacturing, and glass fiber reinforced plastics. This segment also produces a variety of colored inorganic pigments—including iron oxides, ultramarines, and other specialized inorganic chemicals and driers—catering to sectors such as construction, paints, plastics, personal grooming products, printing inks, catalysts, and laminates. Additionally, Performance Additives offers solutions for wood preservation, including chemicals designed to extend the lifespan of timber in both residential and commercial settings by safeguarding against decay, fungal growth, and insect infestation. This encompasses treatments for outdoor residential wood structures like decking and fencing, as well as heavy-duty industrial applications such as telephone poles, saltwater piers, and pilings. Established in 2017, the firm maintains its headquarters in Stockton-On-Tees, United Kingdom.
