## Resource

Big moves are brewing in specialty chemicals as Solstice and Element Solutions reportedly eye a merger this week—possibly a “merger of equals” blending stock and cash. Both firms are riding the AI surge, with Solstice’s thermal and refrigerant products fueling growth and Element Solutions reporting 40% Q1 revenue spikes from AI-driven electronics manufacturing demand. While no deal is official and both companies remain silent, the talks underscore how AI is reshaping even the hidden chemical supply chains powering the tech boom.
