PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - Blackstone Group (BX.N) and Apollo Management are in talks to buy chemicals company Chemtura Corp CEM.N, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday.

Deals  |  Private Capital

The negotiations could fall apart since the parties are still arranging financing and discussing the price tag on the deal, it said.

Chemtura, which has a market capitalization of about $1.9 billion, said in December it was pursuing strategic alternatives.

Apollo, Blackstone and Chemtura could not be immediately reached for comment.
