Unigel Participacoes SA is preparing to file for bankruptcy protection in Brazil after talks with creditors stalled, said people familiar with the matter.

The chemical producer was granted a 60-day protection from creditors by a court on Dec. 14, but a mediation process didn’t result in an agreement, the people said, asking not to be identified as negotiations are private.
