Elementis plc is a global specialty chemicals company that traces its roots back to 1844. The company focuses on producing high-value additives that enhance the performance, texture, and application of its customers' end products. Elementis operates through two primary business segments: Personal Care and Coatings. The Personal Care division manufactures natural and synthetic rheology modifiers and active ingredients for cosmetics, skin care, and antiperspirants. The Coatings division develops premium performance additives for decorative and industrial paints, as well as products for the energy, adhesives, and construction sectors. A notable characteristic of Elementis is its control over a high-grade hectorite clay mine, which secures its supply chain for critical raw materials used in its rheological products.
