We live in 12 Kentucky counties, 7 Indiana counties and 1 Ohio County.
We constantly train for safety. For example, we all learn about fire
extinguishers, and then we practice by putting out controlled fires. And
that’s only the start. About 120 of us are trained to handle emergencies
involving hazardous materials. Our trained Emergency Medical Technicians
respond with our ambulance in the community if the local officials request our
help. We respect the hazards of our materials, and we plan for the
unexpected. We constantly train for safety.
We start with silicon, methyl
chloride (PDF size = 16KB), methanol (PDF size =
17KB) and hydrochloric
acid (PDF size = 17KB). We make chlorosilanes
(PDF size = 17KB) and silicones. Silicones go into products you use every
day like sealants, polishes, lotions and antiperspirants. 80% of Dow
Corning’s 5000 products use silicones made in Carrollton.
Since 1966, we have become one of the world’s largest silicone production
plants. Dow Corning has an $800 million investment here. We’re
proud of what we do, and we work hard to earn future investment.
