Chemours said June 24 it would resume normal operations at its titanium dioxide plant in Altamira, Mexico, after the Mexican government lifted its prior water intake restrictions.
Water restrictions were in place within the state of Tamaulipas due to a severe drought.
Tamaulipas is home to several petrochemical plants, including those owned by Chemours and INEOS Styrolution, which declared a force majeure from its facilities in Altamira due to the restrictions, ICIS reported.
