Exhibit 99 - Additional Information



     NL Industries, Inc. ("NL"), Harold C. Simmons and his spouse, Annette C. Simmons, are the direct holders of 32.0%, 11.5% and 0.8%, respectively, of the outstanding shares of class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Class A Common Stock"), of the issuer.



     NL directly holds 100%, or 10,000,000 shares, of the issuer's Class B Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Class B Common Stock," and collectively with the Class A Common Stock, the "Common Stock").  The description of the relative rights of the Common Stock contained in the issuer's restated certificate of incorporation is hereby incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 3.1 of the issuers Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-42643).  As a result of its ownership of all of the Class B Common Stock, NL currently holds approximately 87.0% of the combined voting power (98.4% for the election of directors) of all classes of voting stock of the issuer.



     Valhi, Inc. ("Valhi") and TIMET Finance Management Company ("TFMC") are the direct holders of 83.1% and 0.5%, respectively, of the outstanding common stock of NL.  Valhi Holding Company ("VHC"), TFMC, the Harold Simmons Foundation, Inc. (the "Foundation"), Annette C. Simmons, The Combined Master Retirement Trust (the "CMRT") and Harold C.

("Dixie Rice") is the direct holder of 100% of the outstanding common stock of VHC.  Contran is the holder of 100% of the outstanding common stock of Dixie Rice.



     Substantially all of Contran's outstanding voting stock is held by trusts established for the benefit of certain children and grandchildren of Harold C.

As already discussed, Valhi is the direct holder of approximately 83.1% of the outstanding common stock of NL.

     By virtue of the holding of the offices, the stock ownership and his service as trustee, all as described above, (a) Mr.  Simmons may be deemed to control the entities described above and (b) Mr.  Simmons and certain of such entities may be deemed to possess indirect beneficial ownership of the shares of Class A or Class B Common Stock that are directly held by NL.  However, Mr. Simmons disclaims such beneficial ownership of the shares of Class A or Class B Common Stock beneficially owned directly by NL.



     Harold C.  Simmons' spouse is the direct owner of 20,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, 269,775 shares of NL common stock and 200,900 shares of Valhi common stock.  Mr. Simmons may be deemed to share indirect beneficial ownership of such securities.  Mr. Simmons disclaims beneficial ownership of all securities that his spouse holds directly.
