Abu Dhabi's IPIC in talks to buy Bayer unit

Abu Dhabi's International Petroleum Investment Co (IPIC) is in talks to buy Bayer's MaterialScience division, chemicals trade publication ICIS reported, citing IPIC Managing Director Khadem al-Qubaisi.

IPIC was in talks with a further four European and US chemical makers, and expects to close a European acquisition by the first quarter of 2010, IPIC said in its online edition on Tuesday.

A Bayer spokesman told Reuters the company would not comment on "market speculation."
