Center in Asia
West Paterson, NJ, February 29, 2008 – Cytec Industries Inc.
(NYSE: CYT) announced today its plan to establish production of
sulfosuccinate surfactants at its site in Gumi, South Korea.
Samples from production batches for customer validation are
expected to be available in the second quarter of 2008. The
technical service lab is already operational.
With its 70-year history in the development of sulfosuccinate
surfactant technology, Cytec has built a leadership position in
the research, product development and application of these

certified Gumi site is well positioned to satisfy the needs of
the growing Asian market.
Similarly, the Gumi Technical Service Center joins existing
facilities in Europe, Latin America, and North America. These
facilities provide application support to customers in the
emulsion polymerization industry. Through this network of
Technical Service facilities and its Research and Development
Center in Stamford, CT., Cytec is working to help customers meet
the challenges of their market areas. The team has extensive
