Clear Lake, Texas production plant

Products and markets

The Clear Lake, Texas plant manufactures three products described below.

  1. We use a process that reacts propylene (hydrocarbon gas) with air to produce acrylic acid. The plant runs year-round on a 24-hour schedule.
  2. We use a process that combines acrylic acid with butanol (butyl alcohol) to produce butylacrylate.
  3. We use a process that combines acrylic acid with methanol (methyl alcohol) to produce methylacrylate.

Acrylic acid, butylacrylate and methylacrylate are widely used in the manufacture of personal care and household products including such items as disposable diapers, hand lotion, detergent, shampoo, acrylic yarn and water-based acrylic coatings, as well as water treatment chemicals.
