2020年7月6日，科慕宣布将在今年年底关闭其在密西西比州帕斯卡古拉（Pascagoula）的第一化工厂（First Chemical Plant)。
科慕在周一发布的一份声明中称：
位于帕斯卡古拉（Pascagoula）的第一化工厂是科慕重要的组成部分。这家工厂主要生产苯胺、硝基苯和NDPA润滑油抗氧化剂。经过业务审查，我们明确苯胺业务不是我们未来战略的核心，并且我们已做出艰难的决定，要在今年年底之前退出业务并停止在该地区的生产。我们重视每位员工和他们所服务的客户， 我们将在整个过渡时期为他们提供支持。
科慕的第一化工厂，成立于1967年，是密西西比州的第一家化学公司。该工厂位于杰克逊县的Bayou Cassotte工业园区。
杰克逊县经济发展基金会表示，他们将与科慕房地产部门密切合作，重新开发该地产。该基金会的执行董事乔治 弗兰德(George Freeland)说。“他们会热情地与我们合作，重新开发那处房产，”
他还指出，“他们一直是杰出的工业合作伙伴。”
弗兰德称，有74名员工受到了影响，每人将获得遣散费。
该工厂是苯胺中间体和衍生物以及硝基苯的领先生产商。这些化学物质是许多日常用品中的关键成分，包括药品，汽车零件，轮胎，染料，光化学物质，农药和建材。
第一化工厂在相邻的设施中有四个独立的操作单元。四个装置包括:港口设施装置(苯胺生产)、硝化1号装置、硝化2号装置、加氢1号和2号装置。2009年，该厂在2002年爆炸造成两人受伤之后，被命令向联邦政府支付 731,000美元的民事罚款。

Chemours has announced that it will close its First Chemical plant in Pascagoula at the end of this year.
A statement released by Monday by Chemours reads:
The First Chemical site in Pascagoula has been a valuable part of Chemours through its manufacturing of aniline, nitrobenzene and NDPA lube antioxidant. As a result of a business review we determined that aniline business is not core to our future strategy and we have made the difficult decision to exit the business and cease production at the site by the end of this year. We value every employee and the customers they serve, and we will support them through this time of transition.
The First Chemical plant, a Chemours company, was established in 1967 as Mississippi’s first chemical company. The plant is located in the Bayou Cassotte Industrial Park in Jackson County.
The Jackson County Economic Development Foundation said they will work closely with Chemours real estate department to redevelop the property. “They will enthusiastically engage with us in redeveloping that property,” said George Freeland, executive director of the foundation.
He also noted that “they have been an extraordinary industrial partner.”
According to Freeland, 74 employees were affected and each will receive a severance package.
The plant is a leading producer of aniline intermediates and derivatives as well as nitrobenzene. These chemicals are the key ingredients in many everyday items, including pharmaceuticals, automotive parts, tires, dyes, photochemicals, agricultural chemicals, and building materials.
The First Chemical Corporation has four independent operating units in the contiguous facility. The four units include: the Port Facility Unit (Aniline Production), the Nitration #1 Unit, Nitration #2 Unit, and the Hydrogenation Units #1 and #2.
In 2009, the plant was ordered to pay $731,000 in civil penalties to the federal government after an explosion in 2002 that left two people injured.
苯胺又称阿尼林、阿尼林油、氨基苯，分子式:C6H7N。无色油状液体。熔点-6.3℃，沸点184℃，相对密度 1.02 (20/4℃)，相对分子量93.128，加热至370℃分解。稍溶于水，易溶于乙醇、乙醚等有机溶剂。苯胺是最重要的胺类物质之一。主要用于制造染料、药物、树脂，还可以用作橡胶硫化促进剂等。它本身也可作为黑色染料使用。其衍生物甲基橙可作为酸碱滴定用的指示剂。
苯胺是染料工业中最重要的中间体之一，在染料工业中可用于制造酸性墨水蓝G、酸性媒介BS、酸性嫩黄、直接橙S、直接桃红、靛蓝、分散黄棕、阳离子桃红FG和活性艳红X-SB等;在有机颜料方面有用于制造金光红、金光红g、大红粉、酚菁红、油溶黑等。在印染工业中用于染料苯胺黑;在农药工业中用于生产许多杀虫剂、杀菌剂如DDV、除草醚、毒草胺等;苯胺是橡胶助剂的重要原料，用于制造防老剂甲、防老剂丁、防老剂RD及防老剂4010、促进剂M、808、D及CA等;也可作为医药磺胺药的原料，同时也是生产香料、塑料、清漆、胶片等的中间体;并可作为炸药中的稳定剂、汽油中的防爆剂以及用作溶剂;其它还可以用作制造对苯二酚、2-苯基吲哚等。
苯胺是生产农药的重要原料，由苯胺可衍生N-烷基苯胺、烷基苯胺、邻硝基苯胺、环己胺等，可作为杀菌剂敌锈钠、拌种灵、杀虫剂三唑磷、哒嗪硫磷、喹硫磷，除草剂甲草胺、环嗪酮、咪唑喹啉酸等的中间体。
