Chemours is a chemical company that makes specialty materials used in many everyday products. Its biggest business is titanium dioxide, a white pigment used in paints, coatings, and plastics. It also makes Teflon-branded fluoropolymers — the slippery coating found on cookware and industrial equipment — and refrigerant gases used in air conditioners and cars. Chemours was spun off from DuPont in 2015 and inherited several of DuPont's core chemical businesses.

Chemours sells its products to manufacturers around the world, with operations across North America, Europe, and Asia. It earns revenue by selling chemicals in bulk, so profits are sensitive to commodity pricing cycles and raw material costs. The company carries significant debt and faces ongoing legal liabilities related to PFAS chemicals — a class of compounds linked to environmental contamination — which represents a major financial and regulatory risk that continues to weigh on its margins and balance sheet.
