AM Plans Polyols PlantNEW YORK - Nov 23/05 - SNS -- Archer Daniels Midland Company plans to build a polyols facility that will utilize renewable carbohydrate-based and/or glycerol-based feedstocks. The Company's planned polyols plant will produce propylene glycol and ethylene glycol from agricultural-based resources as an alternative to traditional petroleum-based industrial chemicals. Propylene glycol primarily is used in industrial applications such as paints, coatings and resins, and also is used in food and pharmaceutical applications. Ethylene glycol is used to produce polyesters and industrial products. ADM is in the process of selecting a site for the polyols plant and construction will be dependent upon final permit approvals.
