Shares in Elementis plc (LON:ELM) shot up 19% to 160.9p on Tuesday morning after Sky News reported US firm Innospec has been sniffing around.

Elementis, a major producer of talc and chromium that makes most of its revenues from the personal care and coatings industries, is currently valued at £788mln by the market after this morning’s share price surge.
