Description

Louisiana Pigment Chemical Company produces high quality titanium dioxide (TiO2) pigment, including black, white, and colored pigments. The Lake Charles facility in Westlake, Louisiana is one of the world’s newest TiO2 manufacturing plants and utilizes a chloride production process that recovers TiO2 from titanium ore (natural rutile, slag, etc.).


Products Used

The main issue was high groundwater pressure. Penetron USA collaborated with Louisiana-Concrete, the project’s concrete ready-mix supplier, on a reliable waterproofing solution. The concrete mix was treated with PENETRON ADMIX SB, in soluble bags, to waterproof the below-grade retaining walls and foundation slab.
