Littlejohn & Co. has reached a deal to buy Cornerstone Chemical, the former basic chemicals business of Cytec Industries, from another private equity firm, H.I.G. Capital. Located in Waggaman, La., Cornerstone makes melamine, acrylonitrile, sulfuric acid, and other chemicals. H.I.G acquired the business in 2011.
