Subsequent Events [Abstract] |
Subsequent Events | 19. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On April 21, 2016, Axiall received notice from China Petrochemical Development Corp. (“CPD”) that CPD has exercised its option to sell to Axiall CPD’s 40 percent interest in Taiwan Chlorine Industries, Ltd. (“TCI”) for $100 million. Under an agreement that was established when PPG Industries, Inc. (“PPG”) separated its commodity chemicals business and merged it with a subsidiary of Georgia Gulf Corporation to form Axiall, Axiall has the contractual option to have PPG rather than Axiall acquire CPD’s 40 percent interest in TCI.
