"The 1920's was a very prosperous time in the United States. Business was good and there were many opportunities for people to improve their lives economically. Harry Lichten was a very successful chemical salesman during this time period in Chicago. One day he decided that he wanted to open his own business. He figured with all of his contacts that he would probably be able to succeed. Thus, a new company was formed-The Industrial Paint and Varnish Company. The year was 1928. The Industrial Paint and Varnish Company manufactured a wide variety of products including paints, caulks, varnishes, tile cements, etc. Over a period of years the company also drifted into the automotive field and manufactured many outstanding products including Black Swan ""Stop Leak"" (a car radiator stop-leak). This product was extremely popular because car radiators were not manufactured as well as they are today. With all the leaking radiators this product was very successful. ( Note - this product is still in the line today and is call Powdered Boiler Stop-Leak.) One day a customer asked Harry if he could manufacture a putty that would not stain. Harry responded positively even though he had no idea if he would be able to do it. This was during the depression and business was terrible so he was willing to try anything.

"Cornerstone’s facility in Waggaman, La. is located on land formerly occupied by the Orange Grove Plantation, which was owned by the Fortier family. The property was sold in 1952 to American Cyanamid Company who broke ground on the Fortier Plant that same year. The plant was built to produce acrylonitrile and nitrogen products. In 1957, an expansion of the plant’s sulfuric acid unit doubled its acrylonitrile production capacity. In 1965, the facility grew to four production units when the low-pressure ammonia plant named Kellog and the urea plant were constructed as part of a nitrogen products expansion program. In 1966, the original acetylene based process that made acrylonitrile was shut down and replaced with a propylene process licensed from Sohio. The plant began to produce melamine in 1971. The Fortier sulfuric acid plant was converted into a Regen unit in 1993, allowing the site to recover waste acid from a neighboring plant. In 1993, Cytec Industries Inc. was spun off from the American Cyanamid Company to produce sulfuric acid, acrylonitrile and melamine.
