Bloomberg: Honeywell considering nylon sale

3:46 PM MDT | April 11, 2016

Honeywell is considering selling its nylon chemicals business, a maker of caprolactam and related products, according to a Bloomberg report. The report says that the business could sell for about $1 billion. The business includes North America’s largest caprolactam plant, at Hopewell, VA. BASF and Japanese firms Ube and Sumitomo Chemical also produce caprolactam. Chinese producers have put pressure on margins in the caprolactam business in recent years. Sumitomo shuttered a caprolactam production line in 2014.
