Science company DuPont announced Hurricane Katrina caused extensive flooding at two DuPont facilities in Mississippi – the titanium dioxide plant at DeLisle and the First Chemical Corporation aniline plant at Pascagoula.
As a result, DuPont declared "force majeure" for both businesses. Based on the company's preliminary assessment of damages, it is not yet clear when restart will occur. DuPont is working closely with its customers to lessen the impact on their business.
DuPont plants in Pontchartrain, La., Burnside, La., and Mobile, Ala., were not as severely impacted by the storm. The company is assessing the situation relative to the restart of those operations.
