To Our Clients:

   We are enclosing with this letter a prospectus dated           , 2003 (the
"Prospectus") of Lyondell Chemical Company (the "Issuer") and the related
Letter of Transmittal. These two documents together constitute the Issuer's
offer to exchange its 91/2% Senior Secured Notes due 2008 (the "New Notes"),
the issuance of which has been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), for a like principal amount of issued and
outstanding unregistered 91/2% Senior Secured Notes due 2008, (the "Outstanding
Notes"). The exchange of Outstanding Notes for New Notes and the related
documentation are referred to herein as the "Exchange Offer." The Exchange
Offer is not conditioned upon any minimum aggregate principal amount of
Outstanding Notes being tendered for exchange.

   We are the holder of record of Outstanding Notes held by us for your own
account. A tender of your Outstanding Notes held by us can be made only by us
as the record holder according to your instructions. The Letter of Transmittal
is furnished to you for your information only and cannot be used by you to
tender Outstanding Notes held by us for your account.

   We request instructions as to whether you wish to tender any or all of the
Outstanding Notes held by us for your account under the terms and conditions of
the Exchange Offer. We also request that you confirm that we may, on your
behalf, make the representations contained in the Letter of Transmittal.

   Under the Letter of Transmittal, each holder of Outstanding Notes will
represent to the Issuer that:

  .   such person is not an "affiliate," as defined in Rule 405 under the
      Securities Act, of the Issuer or a broker-dealer tendering Outstanding
      Notes acquired directly from the Issuer for its own account;

  .   if such person is not a broker-dealer or is a broker-dealer but will not
      receive New Notes for its own account in exchange for Outstanding Notes,
      it is not engaged in, and does not intend to participate in, a
      distribution of the New Notes;

  .   such person does not have an arrangement or understanding with any person
      to participate in the distribution of the Outstanding Notes or the New
      Notes within the meaning of the Securities Act;

  .   any New Notes received are being acquired in the ordinary course of
      business of the person receiving such New Notes; and

  .   if such person is a broker-dealer who will receive New Notes for its own
      account in exchange for Outstanding Notes, it will represent that the
      Outstanding Notes to be exchanged for New Notes were acquired as a result
      of market-making activities or other trading activities, and that it will
      deliver a Prospectus in connection with any resale of those New Notes;
      however, by so acknowledging and by delivering a Prospectus, it will not
      be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the
      Securities Act.

                                          Very truly yours,

   Please return your instructions to us in the enclosed envelope within ample
