It was formally filed on May 1, 2009. The Dow Corning facilities (860 employees, 385,000 metric ton capacity) consist of four sites on 768 acres in Kentucky: Site 1 (650 acres) is located at 4770 US Highway 42 East, Carrollton, Carroll County; Site 2 (88 acres) is located at 760 Hodgenville Road, Elizabethtown, Hardin County; Site 3 (9 acres) is located at 907 Peterson Drive, Elizabethtown, Hardin County; and Site 4 (21 acres) is located at 270 Omega Parkway, Suite 200, Shepherdsville, Bullitt County. The facilities are used for the manufacturing and warehousing of silanes, siloxane and silicones, primarily silicone fluids and sealants. Components and materials sourced from abroad (representing 30–35% of the value of the finished product) include: Silicon metal, methanol, silica fillers, cuprous chloride powder, methyl chloride, derivatives containing only sulfo groups, surface active agents, catalysts, organofunctional silanes and blends, acrylic polymers, polyacetal copolymers, silicone polymers, methyl cellulose, hydrocarbons, fillers, silicates, alcohol, ketones, esters, sulfuric acid esters, acyclic amides, organo-sulfur compounds, caulking compounds, prepared binders, and silicone polymers (duty rate ranges from duty-free to 7%).
