Updated information for history, business segments and failed takeover sections

Hello, I would like to propose a few edits to the history and business segments sections to make them more complete and in the case of the business segments, up to date with the latest organizational changes at Huntsman. I'd also like to propose a title change to the Failed takeover section to achieve a more NPOV. I am an employee of Huntsman, I cannot make edits myself so would appreciate someone taking a look!

Impartial editor response: Can you make sure the dates fit in with the Wikipedia way of doing them. Also, the "Polyurethanes" section could possibly be amended to "...used in an extensive range of applications and market sectors. Polyurethanes provide key benefits of energy efficiency, comfort and well-being." Doing this suggests the chemicals themselves do so rather than Huntsman's own themselves. Unless you can reference these claims it would be more impartial to make it more general. Also, referencing the website itself is not necessarily impartial. Although it would make sense that the website would be a good source we cannot trust the claims. Other than that I can't see any reason not to allow this to go ahead.

Thanks for reviewing Sam, I will make the edits and incorporate your suggested modifications Lstewhou (talk) 11:12, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

Just a note to say then when making the above edits, I inadvertently deleted the pigments nd additives paragraph. I've now restored that paragraph to its original version. Lstewhou (talk) 20:47, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

For the history section, I suggest 3 more paragraphs be added to the the existing material so the final result looks like the following:
