July 1, 2015, DuPont completed the split of its high-performance chemicals business, including TiO2 and Fluorine Products, and the new publicly traded company, Comu, officially traded on the New York Stock Exchange on July 1 under the trade code "CC." As early as October 2013, DuPont announced plans to spin off its high-performance chemicals business, resulting in the formation of an independently operated public company. DuPont's agrochemicals, nutritional care products and industrial biosciences businesses continue to be owned under DuPont and traded under the original trading code. With the diversification of DuPont's business, the problem of valuation differences and reduced synergies due to the cyclical nature of its branches is gradually becoming clear, and the divestiture of the high-performance chemicals business is more in the interest of the shareholders behind DuPont, which is conducive to the transformation of DuPont and the birth of two highly competitive companies.
