REUTERS/Denis Balibouse/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsAug 21(Reuters) - Chemical maker DuPont De Nemours (DD.N) said on Monday it has agreed to sell 80.1% of its Delrin resins unit to private equity firm TJC, formerly known as The Jordan Company, for about $1.6 billion. It will also own a 19.9% non-controlling interest in the unit, which the company had been looking to divest since February last year. It sold most of its mobility and materials business to Celanese (CE.N) for $11 billion last year. However, it also suffered a setback last year as Chinese regulatory hurdles forced it to scrap the $5.2 billion acquisition of engineering materials maker Rogers (ROG.N).

Tower Semiconductor is seen on smartphone in front of displayed Intel logo in this illustration taken, February 15, 2022. Last year, DuPont De Nemours Inc (DD.N) scrapped its $5.2 billion deal to buy electronics materials maker Rogers Corp (ROG.N) after delays in securing approval from Chinese regulators. But Gelsinger also said Intel was investing in its foundry business, which makes chips for other companies, irrespective of the Tower deal. Investors had given up hope on the Tower deal as a result. It has committed to trimming $3 billion in costs this year, with an aim of saving between $8 billion and $10 billion by the end of 2025.

June 22 (Reuters) - 3M Co has reached a $10.3 billion settlement with a host of U.S. public water systems to resolve water pollution claims tied to "forever chemicals," the chemical company announced on Thursday. The company said the settlement would provide the funds over a 13-year period to cities, towns and other public water systems to test and treat contamination of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS. 3M, which is facing thousands of lawsuits over PFAS contamination, did not admit liability, and said the money will help support remediation at public water systems that detect PFAS "at any level." "The result is that millions of Americans will have healthier lives without PFAS in their drinking water." 3M had been scheduled to face a test trial in South Carolina federal court earlier this month in a lawsuit brought by Stuart, Florida.

The judge asked for weekly updates, and said he would reschedule the trial if an agreement is not reached within 21 days. 3M spokesperson Sean Lynch said in a statement the parties are "making material and significant progress toward a resolution of this matter." [1/2] The 3M Global Headquarters in Maplewood, Minnesota, U.S. is photographed on March 4, 2020. It has said in court documents that PFAS have not been linked with health problems at the levels being discovered in drinking water.

The company and lawyers for the city did not immediately respond to requests for comment. 3M announced in December that it would stop producing PFAS by 2025, amid increased legal and regulatory scrutiny. Bloomberg News reported last Friday that 3M had struck a tentative $10 billion deal with U.S. cities and towns to resolve the PFAS water pollution lawsuits it is facing.

June 2 (Reuters) - 3M Co (MMM.N) has struck a tentative settlement of at least $10 billion with a host of U.S. cities and towns to resolve water pollution claims tied to "forever chemicals," Bloomberg News reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter. 3M was scheduled to face trial on Monday against the City of Stuart, Florida. The city has said it is seeking more than $100 million from 3M to pay for water filtration and soil remediation. Litigation over them threatens companies like 3M, DuPont and others with billions of dollars in liabilities. The city claims firefighting foams containing PFAS were regularly sprayed at a local fire station, leading the chemicals to seep into the groundwater.

The companies, which deny the allegations, said that they expect to finalize a formal agreement by the second quarter of 2023. Chemours said it would contribute half the agreed amount, while the remainder would be provided by DuPont and Corteva. A first trial testing those claims against 3M Co. is scheduled to begin next week. Chemours, DuPont and Corteva were originally included as defendants in that trial, but Gergel removed them from the proceedings last month. The companies also face claims in other courts raised by individuals and by state attorneys general in California, Maryland, Washington and elsewhere.

May 2 (Reuters) - DuPont de Nemours Inc (DD.N) on Tuesday cut its full-year revenue forecast, citing slower-than-expected recovery in the electronics and industrial markets, sending its shares down nearly 5% in premarket trading. The materials and chemicals maker expects customer utilization in the electronics markets to bottom in the "near-term" and improve only in the third quarter. DuPont cut the top-end of its annual sales forecast to $12.50 billion from $12.90 billion, while retaining the lower end at $12.30 billion. "Within electronics markets, we continue to see weakness and channel inventory destocking in the near-term," Chief Financial Officer Lori Koch said in a statement. "We continue to expect ongoing strength throughout the year in areas such as water, automotive, aerospace and healthcare," Koch said.
