                      1993 STOCK AWARD AND INCENTIVE PLAN

                                                                January 24, 2000
[Employee's Name and Address]

Shares of Performance Stock:_____

Performance Period:  January 1, 2002 to December 31, 2002

Dear Employee:

  As a key employee of Cytec Industries Inc. (the "Company"), or of a subsidiary
or affiliate of the Company, you have been granted by the Compensation and
Management Development Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors for
the one-year performance period indicated above a performance stock award of the
number of shares of the Common Stock, par value of $.01 per share, of the
Company indicated above ("Performance Stock"). This award is subject to the
terms and conditions hereof and of the Company's 1993 Stock Award and Incentive
Plan (the "Plan").  Performance Stock is awarded pursuant to Section 6(d) of the
Plan.

  The Company will cause a certificate for the Performance Stock to be issued
and registered in your name.  Physical possession of the Performance Stock shall
be retained by the Company until it vests, as herein provided.  A certificate
for any shares that vest will be forwarded to you at your address appearing on
the Company's stock register after vesting has occurred.

  Certain restrictions with respect to this award include, but are not limited
to, the following:

  (1) You shall execute in blank (undated), and return to the Secretary of the
Committee, the enclosed stock power, which the Company will use to reclaim the
Performance Stock if the conditions to vesting are not met. Any Performance
Stock that fails to vest as herein provided shall be forfeited. Any Performance
Stock forfeited hereunder shall revert to the Company. By your acceptance of the
Performance Stock you hereby irrevocably authorize the Company to complete the
stock power herein referred to and to deliver the stock power along with the
certificate for such Performance Stock to the Company's Transfer Agent so as to
effectuate any forfeiture provided for herein.

Performance Stock Award -
January 24, 2000

  (2) Subject to Paragraphs (7), (8) and (10) below, and subject to the
attainment of performance goals as hereinafter provided, the awards of
Performance Stock shall vest effective as of January 1, 2003; provided that such
                                                              --------
vesting shall be subject to the further requirement that the Committee certify
that the performance goals have been met.

  (3) Performance goals, and the related payout matrix, for this award of
Performance Stock have been set by the Committee and will be advised to you in
writing. The performance goals are based on year 2002 EPS.  The performance
goals provide for the partial vesting of Performance Stock in the event that the
EPS performance goal is substantially, but not fully, achieved.

  (4)  The Performance Stock may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged,
hypothecated or otherwise disposed of; and neither the right to receive Common
Stock, nor any interest therein or under the Plan, may be assigned; and any
attempted assignment shall be void.

  (5)  Except as limited by this Agreement or the Plan, you shall have, as
holder of non-forfeited shares of the Performance Stock, all of the rights of a
common stockholder of the Company, including the right to vote and receive
dividends.  Nevertheless, stock of the Company distributed in connection with a
stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or other similar transaction shall
be deemed to be Performance Stock and shall be subject to restrictions and a
risk of forfeiture to the same extent as the Performance Stock with respect to
which such stock has been distributed.

  (6) You may satisfy your mandatory federal and state income tax withholding
obligations with respect to any Performance Stock that vests (subject to
Committee acceptance, as set forth below, and subject to compliance with Rule
16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 if you are an executive officer
of the Company) by requesting the Company to withhold the number of shares of
such Performance Stock having a fair market value as of the date of vesting
equal to the aggregate mandatory federal and state income tax withholding
obligations with respect to all of your Performance Stock under this Award which
vests on such date, it hereby being agreed that the fair market value of any
Performance Stock that is withheld will be determined on the same basis that the
value of the Performance Stock is determined for federal income tax withholding
purposes. Your request must be submitted in writing to the Committee, on forms
approved by the Secretary to the Committee, no later than December 1, 2002. The
Committee shall have sole discretion to determine whether or not to accept your
request, and failure by the Committee to accept your request on or prior to the
date of vesting shall constitute a denial of your request.

Performance Stock Award -
January 24, 2000

  (7) If your employment with the Company or a subsidiary terminates on or prior
to the end of the performance period, all unvested shares of Performance shall
be forfeited, except as provided in paragraphs (8) and (9), below, or except as
the Committee shall otherwise determine.

  (8)  If your employment with the Company or a subsidiary or affiliate
terminates by reason of your (i) death, (ii) disability as defined in the
Company's Long-Term Disability Plan, (iii) retirement on or after your 60th
birthday, or (iv) under other circumstances determined by the Committee to be
not contrary to the best interest of the Company, then, if such termination
occurs in 2002, your Performance Stock award shall not be forfeited by reason of
such termination of employment; and if your employment so terminates in 2001,
two-thirds of said award shall not be so forfeited; and if your employment so
terminates in 2000, one-third of said award shall not be so forfeited.  Nothing
contained in this paragraph shall preclude the Company (with the approval of the
Committee) and you from agreeing in writing as to the portion of your award
which is not forfeited by reason of the termination of your employment.

  (9)  As provided in the Plan, and in the Committee's "Target Document," upon
the occurrence of a "change in control" all unvested (and not previously
forfeited) shares of Performance Stock shall immediately vest.  Upon such
occurrence, the vested shares of Performance Stock shall be delivered to you
promptly.

  (10) The Committee's Rules of General Application, as in effect on the date
hereof, provide that under certain circumstances, in lieu of vesting, an award
of Performance Stock will be forfeited and you will be issued, instead, an
equivalent Deferred Stock Award.

  (11)  Nothing in this award shall confer on you any right to continue in the
employ of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or interfere in
any way with the right of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate to
terminate your employment at any time.

  The Company reserves the right to require that stock certificates issuable to
you in connection with the Performance Stock award be delivered to you only
within the United States.

  The Common Stock issued to you hereunder may not be resold by you except
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933
or pursuant to an exemption from registration, such as Rule 144.

  You agree to pay the Company promptly, on demand, any withholding taxes due in
respect of the Awards made hereunder.  The Company may deduct such withholding
taxes from any amounts owing to you by the Company or by any of its subsidiaries
or affiliates.

     following respective meanings;

          (i) "Performance Period" means January 1-December 31, 2000, January 1-
          December 31, 2001 or January 1-December 31, 2002, as the context

     (b) Payout Targets - Performance Stock Awards.  Subject to paragraph (d)
         -----------------------------------------
     below ("Deferred Stock Awards"), and subject to the terms of the
     Performance Stock Award and Performance Cash Award Grant Letters
     (Performance Stock Award Grant Letters for the 2002 Performance Period),
     restrictions on Performance Stock Awards shall lapse if and to the extent
     that the EPS performance targets set forth in a separate document

     (d) Deferred Stock Awards. (i) The Committee may, prior to the beginning of
         ---------------------
     the Performance Period with respect to a Performance Stock Award, offer a
     Participant who has been granted such an award the opportunity to elect to
     defer all or a specified portion of such award in the form of a Deferred
     Stock Award.  If a Participant elects deferral in accordance with the
     procedures established by the Committee, then, effective as of the date on
     which the related award of Performance Stock is to vest, the total award
     (or such lesser percentage of such total award as shall have been elected
     by the Participant and accepted by the Committee) shall be forfeited, and
     the Participant will be issued instead a Deferred Stock Award, as defined
     in Section 6(h) of the Plan, equal to the number of shares of Performance
     Stock so forfeited.  Such Deferred Stock Award shall accrue Dividend
     Equivalents which will be deferred in the form of additional Deferred Stock
     based on the Closing Price of the Corporation's Common Stock in the New
     York Stock Exchange Consolidated Tape on the date on which the related
     dividend is paid on the Corporation's Common Stock.

     (ii) Deferred Stock resulting from deferral of Dividend Equivalents will
     likewise bear Dividend Equivalents.

     (e) Executive Committee.  The Executive Committee is authorized to set (and
         -------------------
     change) performance targets for Performance Stock awards and Performance
     Cash awards granted to employees who are not "Executive Officers" of the
     Corporation; provided that such performance targets shall be reported to
     the Committee.  The targets so reported shall be deemed approved and
     ratified by the Committee, unless the Committee rejects them at its first
     meeting following such report.

     (f) Additional Bonuses.  The foregoing long-term incentive awards are not
         ------------------
     intended to be exclusive, and the Corporation may grant any other
     additional forms of compensation, including but not limited to annual
     incentive compensation, stock options, special recognition awards, stock
     appreciation rights or any other form of compensation whatsoever.
