Where this facility sits in the TRI record
Among the 3,917 Chemicals facilities in this database, Arclin USA LLC reports the 1,360th-largest volume (42.9K lbs). This one site accounts for 30.5% of every pound reported in Covington. Its reported volume is concentrated rather than spread: Methanol alone is 62.4% of the total.
Placement is computed from reported TRI pounds in this database. Thresholds are fixed across every facility page: concentrated ≥60% of volume in one chemical, county-dominant ≥25% of the county total, carcinogen-heavy ≥50% of pounds. Share-based statements are shown only for sites reporting at least 1,000 lbs, because a share of a very small total is not a meaningful signal. Reported pounds are self-reported estimates and do not measure toxicity or health risk.
Arclin USA LLC files annual Form R disclosures to the EPA Toxics Release Inventory under EPCRA Section 313, classified under NAICS 325211 (Chemicals). Across 5 years of records spanning 2019–2023, the site has disclosed 42.9K lbs in cumulative toxic releases across 5 distinct chemicals, 1 of which (20%) carry a carcinogenic classification. Largest chemicals by pounds: Methanol; Formaldehyde; Ammonia; Phenol.
The dominant release pathway is air releases at 35.7K lbs (83.1% of total volume), followed by off-site transfers at 16.7%.

Similar-scale peers outside Alabama: Advance Coatings Co; Reg Mason City LLC; Chemtrade Solutions LLC; Procter & Gamble Tabler Station Manufacturing Plant.
TRI Form R values are self-reported estimates, not measured stack emissions, and treat every pound of reported chemical equally regardless of toxicity. Inclusion in the TRI database does not establish a health risk to nearby residents; it documents the annual reporting record that Arclin USA LLC has filed with the EPA under federal community right-to-know requirements - open Mfg/alabama LLC - Plant 2 for a different chemical mix before treating volume as risk.
