ITEM 9.  REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE

         As previously reported, on June 30, 2003, GenTek Inc. (the "Company")
and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (together with the
Company, the "Debtors") filed their first proposed joint plan of
reorganization and related first proposed disclosure statement with the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court").

         On August 21, 2003, the Debtors filed their second proposed joint
plan of reorganization (the "Second Proposed Plan of Reorganization") and
related second proposed disclosure statement (the "Second Proposed Disclosure
Statement") with the Bankruptcy Court. A hearing to consider the adequacy of
the Second Proposed Disclosure Statement, as it may be amended or supplemented
prior to the hearing date, is currently scheduled before the Bankruptcy Court
for August 25, 2003, which may be continued from time to time.

         Copies of the Second Proposed Plan of Reorganization and the Second
Proposed Disclosure Statement as filed with the Bankruptcy Court are attached
hereto as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively.

         The Debtors reserve the right to modify or supplement the Second
Proposed Plan of Reorganization and the Second Proposed Disclosure Statement.
Moreover, the Second Proposed Plan of Reorganization and the Second Proposed
Disclosure Statement remain subject to review and comment by, among others,
the Bankruptcy Court, the Debtors' secured lenders, the official committee of
unsecured creditors appointed in the Debtors' Chapter 11 cases, and other
parties in interest.

         The Bankruptcy Code does not permit solicitation of acceptances or
rejections of the Second Proposed Plan of Reorganization until the Bankruptcy
Court approves the applicable Disclosure Statement as providing adequate
information of a kind, and in sufficient detail, as far as is reasonably
practicable in light of the nature and history of the Debtors and the
condition of the Debtors' books and records, that would enable a hypothetical
reasonable investor typical of the holder of claims or interests of the
relevant class to make an informed judgment about the Second Proposed Plan of
Reorganization. Accordingly, neither this filing nor any of the exhibits are
intended to be, and they should not be construed as, a solicitation for a vote
on the Second Proposed Plan of Reorganization. The Debtors will emerge from
Chapter 11 if and when the Second Proposed Plan of Reorganization receives the
requisite creditor approvals and is confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court.
