Huntsman International Company Description
Not that it can't keep a secret, but Huntsman International is no longer private about its business. Huntsman manufactures surfactants (used in cleaning and personal care products) and performance chemicals like polyurethanes, propylene oxides, and propylene glycol. It had been among the world's largest makers of basic chemicals and petrochemicals like ethylene and propylene until it began to sell off that business in 2006. Huntsman remains among the largest makers of titanium dioxide, the most commonly used white pigment, with 15% of the world market. Huntsman International operates the business of Huntsman Corporation, which in 2007 reached an agreement to be acquired by Hexion for about $10.5 billion.
