ARKEMA COMPLETES PURCHASE OF DOW ACRYLIC ACID, ESTERS, AND LATEX ASSETS

摘要

Arkema says it has completed its acquisitions of Dow Chemical’s acrylic acid and esters plant at Clear Lake, TX and Dow's UCAR Emulsion Systems specialty latex businesses in North America for a combined $50 million. The businesses have overall sales of about $450 million/year. Arkema and Dow announced the deal last August. Divesting the businesses enables Dow to comply with U.S. FTC con- ditions for approving Dow's earlier acquisition of Rohm and Haas.
