Items 2.01, 7.01 and 9.01 of Form 8-K/A filed on May 16, 2005 are hereby amended
as set forth below.

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

As reported on Form 8-K dated March 4, 2005, Cytec Industries Inc. (the
"Company") completed its acquisition of the surface specialties business
("Surface Specialties") of UCB SA on February 28, 2005. On May 16, 2005, the
Company filed a Form 8-K/A (the "Prior 8-K/A") in order to present, among other
things, certain pro forma financial information including the Company's
unaudited pro forma condensed combined historical statement of income for the
year ended December 31, 2004 (the "Prior Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined
Financial Information"). The Company has revised its previous assumptions
regarding depreciation expense and amortization expense which were based on
preliminary valuations of assets and asset lives for those assets which were
acquired on February 28, 2005. The Company has also revised certain aspects of
the purchase price allocation and has revised its assumption regarding interest
expense resulting from its revised estimate of its pro forma debt position at
January 1, 2004. The revision of the pro forma debt position results from the
Company having reached a definitive agreement to divest, pursuant to regulatory
approvals, certain product lines which were acquired on February 28, 2005.

Accordingly, the Company hereby amends Item 2.01 of the Prior 8-K/A in order to
update and supercede the Prior Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial
Information with the revised pro forma condensed combined statement of income
for the year ended December 31, 2004, as filed on Exhibit 99.1, which reflects
the aforementioned revised assumptions.


Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

The Prior 8-K/A furnished the unaudited pro forma condensed combined historical
statements of income of the Company for each of the quarters ended March 31,
2004, June 30, 2004, September 30, 2004, December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2005
(collectively referred to herein as the "Prior Pro Forma Financials"). As set
forth in Item 2.01 above, the Company has revised its previous assumptions which
were utilized in assembling the Prior Pro Forma Financials.

Accordingly, the Company hereby amends and restates Item 7.01 of the Prior 8-K/A
in its entirety in order to replace the Prior Pro Forma Financials with the
following pro forma condensed combined historical statements of income of the
Company for each of the quarters ended March 31, 2004, June 30, 2004, September
30, 2004, December 31, 2004 and for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005.
This information included in Exhibit 99.3, other than the pro forma condensed
combined historical statements of income of the Company for the six-month period
ended June 30, 2005, is considered to be "furnished" and not "filed" under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

year-to-date financial statement information, in connection with the
registrant's acquisition of Surface Specialties on February 28, 2005, is
