Chemical supplier Huntsman Corp. is acquiring CVC Thermoset Specialties, a North American specialty chemical manufacturer serving the industrial composites, adhesives, and coatings markets, for US$300 million.
Headquartered in Moorestown, N.J., CVC Thermoset Specialties is part of Emerald Performance Materials LLC which is majority owned by affiliates of American Securities LLC.

The deal is expected to close in mid-2020.
Earlier this year, Huntsman closed the sale of its chemical intermediates and surfactant businesses to Thailand-based Indorama Ventures Public Co. Ltd. for approximately US$2 billion.
