It will also own a 19.9% non-controlling interest in the unit, which the company had been looking to divest since February last year.
It sold most of its mobility and materials business to Celanese (CE.N) for $11 billion last year.
However, it also suffered a setback last year as Chinese regulatory hurdles forced it to scrap the $5.2 billion acquisition of engineering materials maker Rogers (ROG.N).
