          1999 Broadway, Suite 4300, Denver, Colorado   80202

ITEM 2(a) NAME OF PERSON FILING:

          This Statement is filed by (collectively, the "Reporting Persons"):

               (i)   Tremont Corporation ("Tremont") as the direct beneficial
          owner of Common Stock;

               (ii)  by virtue of their respective direct and indirect holdings
          of securities of Tremont, Valhi Group, Inc. ("VGI"); National City
          Lines, Inc. ("National"); Dixie Holding Company ("Dixie Holding");
          NOA, Inc. ("NOA"); Dixie Rice Agricultural Corporation, Inc. ("Dixie
          Rice"); Southwest Louisiana Land Company, Inc. ("Southwest"); and
          Contran Corporation ("Contran"); and

               (iii) by virtue of his positions with such entities and certain
          other entities, Harold C. Simmons.

          Tremont is the direct holder of approximately 30.3% of the 
     outstanding Common Stock according to information contained in the 
     Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1, Registration No. 333-18829,
     initially filed December 26, 1996 (the "Registration Statement"). 
     Tremont also holds an option to purchase from IMI Americas, Inc. ("IMI 
     Americas") 1,508,075 shares of Common Stock (the "Tremont Option").  In 
     accordance with rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange 
     Commission under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 
     Tremont may be deemed the beneficial owner of the shares of Common Stock 
     subject to the Tremont Option and, as a result, directly hold in the 
     aggregate approximately 35.1% of the outstanding Common Stock according to 
     information contained in the Registration Statement.

          VGI, National, Contran, NL Industries, Inc. ("NL") and Valmont
     Insurance Company ("Valmont") are the holders of approximately 35.2%,
     4.7%, 3.2%, 0.5% and 0.4%, respectively, of the outstanding Tremont common 
     stock.  Together, VGI, National and Contran may be deemed to control 
     Tremont.  Valhi, Inc. ("Valhi") and Tremont are the direct holders of
     approximately 55.6% and 17.7%, respectively, of the outstanding common 
     stock of NL and together may be deemed to control NL.  Valhi is also the 
     holder of 100% of the outstanding stock of Valmont and may be deemed
     to control Valmont.

          VGI, National and Contran are the holders of approximately 75.0%, 
     10.1% and 6.4%, respectively, of the outstanding common stock of Valhi. 
     Together, VGI, National and Contran may be deemed to control Valhi.  
     National, NOA and Dixie Holding are the holders of approximately 73.3%, 
     11.4% and 15.3% respectively, of the outstanding common stock of VGI. 
     Together, National, NOA and Dixie Holding may be deemed to control VGI.  
     Contran and NOA are the holders of approximately 85.7% and 14.3%, 
     respectively, of the outstanding common stock of National and together
     may be deemed to control National.

          Contran and Southwest are the holders of approximately 49.9% and
     50.1%, respectively, of the outstanding common stock of NOA and together
     may be deemed to control NOA. Dixie Rice is the holder of 100% of the
     outstanding common stock of Dixie Holding and may be deemed to control
     Dixie Holding.  Contran is the holder of approximately 88.7% and 54.3% 
     of the outstanding common stock of Southwest and Dixie Rice, 
     respectively, and  may be deemed to control Southwest and Dixie Rice.

          Mr. Harold C. Simmons is Chairman of the Board, President and Chief
     Executive Officer of Valhi, VGI, National, NOA, Dixie Holding and Contran.
     Mr. Simmons is also Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of
     Dixie Rice and Southwest.  Additionally, Mr. Simmons is Chairman of the
     Board of NL and a Director of Tremont.

          Substantially all of Contran's outstanding voting stock is held by two
     trusts, the Harold C. Simmons Family Trust No. 1 dated January 1, 1964 and
     the Harold C. Simmons Family Trust No. 2 dated January 1, 1964 (together,
     the "Trusts") established for the benefit of Mr. Simmons' children and
     grandchildren, of which Mr. Simmons is the sole trustee.  As sole trustee
     of the Trusts, Mr. Simmons has the power to vote and direct the disposition
     of the shares of Contran stock held by the Trusts.  Mr. Simmons, however,
     disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares.

          The Combined Master Retirement Trust (the "CMRT") holds less than 1.0%
     of the outstanding shares of Tremont and Valhi common stock, respectively.
     The CMRT is a trust formed by Valhi to permit the collective investment by
     trusts that maintain the assets of certain employee benefit plans adopted
     by Valhi and related companies.  Mr. Simmons is sole trustee of the CMRT
     and sole member of the Trust Investment Committee for the CMRT.  Mr.
     Simmons is a participant in one or more of the employee benefit plans that
     invest through the CMRT.  Mr. Simmons, however, disclaims beneficial
     ownership of the shares of Tremont and Valhi common stock held by the CMRT,
     except to the extent of his vested beneficial interest therein.

          The Tremont and Valhi shares held by Contran include 2.1% of the
     outstanding Tremont common stock and 0.2% of the outstanding Valhi common
     stock directly held by the Contran Deferred Compensation Trust No. 2 (the
     "CDCT No. 2").  The CDCT No. 2 is a trust established by Contran as an
     irrevocable "rabbi trust" to assist Contran in meeting certain deferred
     compensation obligations that Contran owes Harold C. Simmons.  Contran
     retains the power to vote shares held by the CDCT No. 2 and shares
     dispositive power over such shares with the trustee of the CDCT No. 2.

          By virtue of the holding of such offices, the stock ownership and his
     service as trustee, all as described above, (a) Mr. Simmons and certain of
     such entities may be deemed to control the Company and Tremont and (b) Mr.
     Simmons and certain of such entities may be deemed to possess indirect
     beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock directly held by Tremont
     or subject to the Tremont Option. Mr. Simmons, however, disclaims such
     beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned,
     directly or indirectly, by any of such entities.

          The Reporting Persons understand that Valmont and NL hold 1,000,000
     shares and 1,186,200 shares, respectively, of Valhi common stock. The
     Reporting Persons further understand that the shares of Valhi common stock
     that Valmont and NL own are treated by Valhi as treasury stock for voting
     purposes and are not deemed outstanding for the purposes of this Statement.

         The Company, Tremont, Union Titanium Sponge Corporation ("UTSC") and
     the stockholders of UTSC are parties to an agreement dated May 30, 1990, as
     amended (the "Investors' Agreement"), that regulates certain aspects of the
     governance of the Company.  The Investors' Agreement provides, among other
     things, that so long as UTSC and its stockholders hold at least 10% of the
     Company's outstanding Common Stock (computed as provided in the Investors'
     Agreement), the Company and Tremont shall cause the board of directors of
     the Company to be composed of seven members and one individual designated
     by UTSC to be elected to serve as a director of the Company.  For purposes
     of the Investors' Agreement, the number of outstanding shares of Common
     Stock excludes certain outstanding shares.  In addition, the Investors'
     Agreement provides certain limitations on the right of UTSC to transfer its
     shares of Common Stock and a right of first refusal, under certain
     circumstances, in favor of Tremont on a proposed transfer of UTSC's Common
     Stock.  The Investors' Agreement terminates in the event UTSC and its
     stockholders or their affiliates, as a group, hold less than 5% of the
     outstanding Common Stock (computed as provided in the Investors'
     Agreement).  As of December 31, 1996, the Reporting Persons understand UTSC
     held 3,150,000 shares of Common Stock (approximately 10.0% of the actually
     outstanding Common Stock) and also held the right to purchase from IMI
     Americas 503,230 shares of Common Stock (the "UTSC Option").

         The Company, Tremont, IMI plc and two of its affiliates, IMI Kynoch
     Ltd. and IMI Americas, are parties to an agreement dated February 15, 1996,
     as amended (the "Shareholders' Agreement"), that also regulates certain
     matters relating to the governance of the Company.  The Shareholders'
     Agreement generally provides that each party shall vote its Common Stock in
     favor of four nominees of Tremont for the Company's board of directors so
     long as Tremont holds at least 30% of the outstanding Common Stock. The
     Shareholders' Agreement also provides for certain limitations on the rights
     of Tremont and IMI Americas to transfer their shares of Common Stock.  The
     Shareholders' Agreement terminates in the event no party to the
     Shareholders' Agreement holds 5% of the outstanding Common Stock.  As of
     December 31, 1996, the Reporting Persons understand IMI Americas held
     2,011,305 shares of Common Stock, 1,508,075 shares of which are subject to
     the Tremont Option and 503,230 of which are subject to the UTSC Option. If
     not exercised on or prior to February 11, 1999, the UTSC Option will revert
     to Tremont until expiration of the UTSC Option on February 15, 1999.

         In view of the Investors' Agreement, UTSC and the Reporting Persons may
     be deemed to be a group.  In view of the agreements set forth in the
     Shareholders' Agreement, IMI Americas, IMI plc and the Reporting Persons
     may be deemed to be a group.  The Reporting Persons disclaim that any or
     all of them are acting with either IMI plc or UTSC as a group and further
     disclaim beneficial ownership of all shares of Common Stock held by UTSC
     and IMI Americas, except to the extent of Tremont's right to acquire shares
     of Common Stock pursuant to the Tremont Option.

          Unless indicated otherwise, all of the stock ownership amounts and
     stock ownership percentages appearing in this Item 2(a) are as of December
     31, 1996.
