DuPont Titanium Technologies today announced a price increase for all
DuPont(TM) Ti-Pure(R) titanium dioxide grades sold in the Euro markets of
Central and Eastern Europe, Turkey, Greece and North Africa.


    Effective April 15, 2008, prices for all titanium dioxide grades will
increase 80 Euros per tonne in the Euro markets of Central and Eastern
Europe, Turkey, Greece and North Africa. This increase is in addition to
prior announcements for these markets and is made necessary because of the
very rapid increase in the costs of raw materials, energy and transportation.
These costs continue to negatively impact DuPont's titanium dioxide business
and hence the need for announcing this new price increase.



    DuPont Titanium Technologies is the world's largest manufacturer of
titanium dioxide, serving customers globally in the coatings, paper and
plastics industries. The company operates plants at DeLisle, Miss.; New
Johnsonville, Tenn.; Edge Moor, Del.; Altamira, Mexico; and Kuan Yin, Taiwan;
all of which use the chloride manufacturing process. The company also
operates a plant in Uberaba, Brazil, for finishing titanium dioxide and a
mine in Starke, Fla. Technical service centers are located in Uberaba,
Brazil; Mexico City, Mexico; Mechelen, Belgium; Moscow, Russia; Kuan Yin,
Taiwan; Ulsan, Korea; Wilmington, Del.; and Shanghai, China, to serve the
European, Middle Eastern, United States, Asian and Latin America markets.
