      THE SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PROGRAM FOR EMPLOYEES OF UNION CARBIDE
             CORPORATION AND PARTICIPATING SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Investments are reported at market value, based upon quoted market prices plus 
accrued income thereon, except for investments in United States Savings Bonds, 
which are carried at current redemption value, loans to participants, which 
are carried at face value, certain fixed income investments, which are carried 
at contract value and Union Carbide Corporation Convertible Preferred Stock, 
which is carried at fair value.  Fair value of Union Carbide Corporation 
Convertible Preferred Stock is the greater of the market value of Union 
Carbide Corporation Common Stock and the established floor price of $8.981.  
Fixed Income Fund investments consist of investment contracts with banks and 
insurance companies, government, corporate and international securities and a 
short-term investment fund of the trustee (see Note 8).  Unrealized 
appreciation or depreciation of investments is recognized currently in the 
financial statements.

Participants' accounts are credited with participant contributions, 
contributions from Union Carbide Corporation ("the corporation", "UCC") and an 
allocation of earnings from the Savings and Investment Program for Employees 
of Union Carbide Corporation and Participating Subsidiary Companies ("the 
Program") and charged with an allocation of administrative expenses.  The 
allocation of earnings is based upon a participant's interest in a respective 
investment fund.  The allocation of administrative expenses is based upon 
participants' account balances.

The investment fund, Praxair Common Stock, was created by the distribution of 
Praxair, Inc. ("Praxair") Common Stock to Program participants upon the 
completion of UCC's 1992 spin-off of Praxair.  This investment fund was closed 
to new participants and existing participants are unable to increase their 
investment in the fund.

The cost of UCC Common Stock and Praxair Common Stock sold is the respective 
employee's average cost.  The cost of other security investments sold or 
redeemed is the actual cost of the specific securities.  Purchases and sales 
of investments are recorded on the trade date.  The financial statements have 
been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.

In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Position 94-4, "Reporting of 
Investment Contracts Held by Health and Welfare Benefit Plans and Defined-
Contribution Pension Plans", insurance contracts are carried at contract value 
in the accompanying financial statements.

             CORPORATION AND PARTICIPATING SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES


                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

Note 2 - Description of the Program

Effective January 1, 1995 the Program changed its name to the Savings and 
Investment Program for Employees of Union Carbide Corporation and 
Participating Subsidiary Companies to reflect its expanding role in employees' 
retirement, estate and financial planning.

Subject to the maximum allowed by the Internal Revenue Code for the 401(k) 
part of the Program ($9,240 in 1995), participants may elect to have the 
corporation pay from 1% to 17 1/2% of the employee's compensation to the 
Program instead of paying that amount to the employee.  The minimum 
participation percentage is 1%.  

Each employee who chooses to participate in the Program receives an allocation 
of convertible preferred stock from the Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") 
portion of the Program (see Note 6) equal to 75% of the amount contributed by 
the employee (50% prior to January 1, 1995), up to 7 1/2% of the employee's 
compensation ("basic deduction").  The corporation contributes funds to the 
Program necessary to release such stock from the ESOP to a participant's 
individual account.

On March 10, 1994, UCC announced a special stock grant of 40 shares of ESOP 
Stock to certain UCC employees.  The ESOP Stock grant was credited to eligible 
employees' Savings Program 401(k) accounts as of March 31, 1994.

On June 30, 1993, the General Savings Fund was terminated.  All money in the 
Fund, including deferred balances from prior plan periods, was transferred to 
the Fixed Income Fund, unless a withdrawal was specifically requested.  
Withdrawals from the other investment programs normally are made at retirement 
or other termination of employment and may be deferred under the terms of the 
Program.  Other features are described in the Program's Summary Plan 
Description.


Note 3 - Investment Programs

Participants may invest their basic deduction and a supplemental deduction (an 
additional 1/2% to 10% of the employee's compensation) in 1/2 percentage point 
increments in any or all of: Common Stock of Union Carbide Corporation, United 
States Savings Bonds, the Fixed Income Fund, the Fidelity Equity-Income Fund, 
the Fidelity U.S. Equity Index Portfolio, the Fidelity Magellan Fund, the 
Fidelity Contrafund, the Fidelity Growth Company Fund, or the Discounted (UCC) 
Company Stock Fund.  However, a participant may not invest a supplemental 
deposit (a cash deposit, made on an after-tax basis, ineligible for a 
corporation contribution) in the Discounted Company Stock Fund.  The General 
Savings Fund, which ceased being a part of the Program on June 30, 1993, was 
invested by the Trustee in a commingled trust fund which invested in bonds and 
other securities (except common and preferred stocks).

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

Note 3 - Investment Programs (Continued)

Contributions by the corporation are made to the ESOP Stock Fund.  The 
Fidelity Contrafund and the Fidelity Growth Company Fund were made available 
to participants on April 19, 1993.  

Participants are limited to selling the Praxair Common Stock they received in 
the 1992 spin-off distribution (see Note 1) and are prohibited from purchasing 
Praxair Common Stock through the Program.  Dividends earned on Praxair Common 
Stock are reinvested in the Fixed Income Fund.

At December 31, 1995, there were 9,712 employees participating in the Program 
(10,107 at December 31, 1994 and 10,025 at December 31, 1993). The sum of 
participation by investment program is greater than the total number of 
Program participants because participation is allowed in more than one fund.

*  In 1993, Union Carbide Corporation sold the OrganoSilicon business 
   ("OSi").  In May, 1994, the investment fund balances of certain OSi 
   employees in the Program were transferred to the newly established Savings 
   Program for Employees of OSi Specialties, Inc.


Note 6 - Employee Stock Ownership Plan

The Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") is an integral part of the Program.
In 1990, the trust established for the ESOP purchased all of the issued shares 
of a new series of convertible preferred stock ("ESOP Stock") from the 
corporation with proceeds from a 15 year 10% loan from the corporation, whose 
contributions, plus dividends on the shares held by the ESOP, are used to meet 
interest and principal payments.  As loan payments are made, shares of the 
ESOP Stock are allocated to eligible participants.

The conversion price, liquidation price and annual preferred dividend of the 
ESOP Stock are $8.981, $8.981 and $0.794, respectively.  The ESOP Stock is 
convertible into the corporation's common stock at a ratio of one-to-one, has 
a preference in liquidation and each share has one voting right.  The ESOP 
Stock annual dividend rate of $0.794 per share yields 8.84% based on the 
liquidation price.  Dividends on allocated shares are credited quarterly to 
participants' accounts in the form of additional shares of ESOP Stock.

Note 7 - Expenses

Transfer taxes and other costs and expenses, if any, associated with the sale 
and transfer of UCC Common Stock for a participant's account, are deducted 
from the proceeds or charged to the account.  Fees of the trustee and 
investment managers are paid by the Program.  For the years ended December 31, 
1995 and 1994, the Program paid certain administration costs and recordkeeping 
expenses of the Program.  The corporation paid those expenses not borne by the 
Program.  For the year ended December 31, 1993, the corporation paid all the 
administration costs and recordkeeping expenses of the Program.


Note 8 - Fixed Income Fund

During 1993, the Program expanded the Fixed Income Fund to include two bond 
portfolios actively managed by Pacific Investment Management Company and 
Jennison Associates Capital Corporation.  The portfolios consist of 
government, corporate and international investment grade securities.  Pacific 
Mutual Life Insurance Company and The Prudential Insurance Company of America 
were contracted to provide, in most instances, liquidity guarantees ("wrapper 
insurance") of these two bond portfolios in the event that participant book 
value withdrawals exceed 5% of the market value of the portfolios at the 
beginning of the calendar quarter.  

The following is a summary of the Fixed Income Fund. Contract Value represents 
original deposits under the contract credited with actual earnings and charged 
for withdrawals.

Note 8 - Fixed Income Fund (Continued)

The average yield ranged from 6.11% to 13.98% and (2.12)% to 10.33% for the 
periods ending December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The crediting 
interest rate, the fixed rate of return for the contracts, ranged from 5.61% 
to 9.31% and 5.19% to 10.33% as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

The crediting interest rate for the contracts with banks and insurance 
companies is determined at inception of the contracts and does not fluctuate 
over their life.  The crediting interest rate for the investments managed by 
investment firms under wrapper insurance contracts is reset quarterly and is 
based on such factors as the individual bond portfolio's book value, duration, 
market value and current yield.  The contract with The Prudential Insurance 
Company of America establishes a minimum crediting interest rate of 2%.


Note 9 - Federal Income Taxes

The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the corporation by a 
determination letter dated May 30, 1995 that the Program is qualified within 
the meaning of Section 401(a) and, accordingly, the trust is exempt from 
Federal Income Tax under Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Participant elective deferrals are subject to the maximum allowed by the 
Internal Revenue Code for the 401(k) part of the Program, which in 1995 was 
$9,240.

Employees are not subject to income tax on their salary reduction 
contributions, corporation payments or other accumulations in their accounts 
until a distribution is made from the Program.  Employee after-tax 
contributions are generally not subject to income tax upon distribution from 
the Program.  An employee may withdraw an amount equal to his/her after-tax 
contributions made prior to 1987 without incurring any income tax.  However, 
in the case of employee after-tax contributions made after 1986 an employee 
may exclude from income only the portion of the distribution that bears the 
same ratio to the total distribution as the employee's after-tax contributions 
bears to the total value of the employee's account.  For employees making 
deferred contributions to the Program in accordance with Internal Revenue 
Service Code Section 401(k), distributions are generally taxed as ordinary 
income subject to special tax treatment afforded certain distributions that 
qualify as lump sum distributions under the Internal Revenue Code.


Note 10 - Allocation of Program Income and Changes in Program Equity to
          Investment Programs

The allocation of program income and changes in program equity by investment 
program for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 are as follows:

             CORPORATION AND PARTICIPATING SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

                 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)



Note 11 - Subsequent Events

In April 1996, the Board of Directors of the corporation authorized an 
amendment of the ESOP to add a profit sharing formula for an additional 
allocation of ESOP stock to participants in the Program.  The additional 
allocation will be determined each year based on the corporation's return on 
capital.  This amendment will be effective commencing in 1996.


Supplemental Schedules

Information on the supplemental schedules, provided to the Program by its 
Trustees, Chemical Bank and State Street Bank and Trust Company, was filed 
under Form SE, in paper, under General Instruction E of Form 11-K.

These supplemental schedules are not a required part of the basic financial 
statements of the Program, but are supplementary information required by the 
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under 
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

                           Independent Auditors' Report


To the Program Administrators of the Savings and Investment
Program for Employees of Union Carbide Corporation and
Participating Subsidiary Companies:

We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition of the 
Savings and Investment Program for Employees of Union Carbide Corporation and 
Participating Subsidiary Companies ("the Program") as of December 31, 1995 and 
1994, and the related statements of income and changes in program equity for 
each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1995.  These 
financial statements are the responsibility of the Program's management.  Our 
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on 
our audits.  

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of 
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence 
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit 
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant 
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial 
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis 
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in 
all material respects, the financial position of the Program as of December 
31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations for each of the years in 
the three-year period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity  with generally 
accepted accounting principles.

Our 1995 audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic 
financial statements taken as a whole.  The 1995 supplemental schedules of the 
Program are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a 
required part of the basic financial statements, but are supplementary 
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for 
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 
1974.  The 1995 supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing 
procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our 
opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic 
financial statements taken as a whole.
