03:50 PM EDT, 10/09/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Carlyle Group ( CG )-backed (CG) specialty chemicals firm Nouryon has dropped a dual-currency leveraged loan deal worth around $5.8 billion, Bloomberg reported Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter.

Nouryon was looking to push out its debt maturities by more than two years but decided to shelve the deal amid concerns over higher costs in the chemicals sector, according to the report.

Nouryon's deal would be the second in the chemical's sector to witness soft demand, Bloomberg said, adding that another chemical maker, The Chemours Co., previously priced a term loan three days past its initial due date along with its loan amount reduced to $1.05 billion from $1.55 billion and sweeter terms for the investors.

Carlyle Group ( CG ) did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
