Air Liquide SA (AI.FR) said Monday that it has entered an agreement to sell its subsidiary Air Liquide Fuzhou Co. Tld., which owns and operates a gases complex in Fujian, China, to Fujian Shenyuan New Materials Co. Ltd.

The French company warned the deal will have a limited one-off negative impact on net profit for the first half of 2019, but backed its full-year guidance.

The divestment will allow Air Liquide to invest in its main industrial basins, including in China, and is in line with the company's climate goals.

The transaction is expected to close during the third quarter of the year, Air Liquide said.

No financial details were disclosed.
