I would not want to be talking about specialty chemicals in an interview.

OP, check out Apollo's take-privates of Tenneco or Atlas Air. 

 

Why do you not want to be talking about specialty chemicals? 

 

Because it's really niche and complicated. I don't really want to be discussing how the ADN shortage has affected the competitive positioning of Nylon 66 as a key input for automotive OEMs. 

Stick to stuff simple to understand (cars, planes, widget manufacturers) and you avoid the risk of digging yourself a grave. Your interviewer will always know more than you so keep it high-level.
