Dow Chemical to exit century-old chlorine business

摘要

DOW Chemical Co said it would sell a bulk of its chlorine operations-its oldest business-as part of its plan to sell or spin off commodity chemicals assets worth up to $4 billion. Dow Chemical, like other U.S. chemical makers such as Dupont , is moving away from providing a wide range of products to a swathe of industries to focus on electronics, packaging and agriculture.
