Where this facility sits in the TRI record
Among the 3,917 Chemicals facilities in this database, Polyset Co Inc reports the 1,126th-largest volume (68.8K lbs). Its reported volume is concentrated rather than spread: Diisocyanates alone is 74.9% 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.
Polyset Co Inc files annual Form R disclosures to the EPA Toxics Release Inventory under EPCRA Section 313, classified under NAICS 325520 (Chemicals). Across 6 years of records spanning 2019–2024, the site has disclosed 68.8K lbs in cumulative toxic releases across 3 distinct chemicals, 2 of which (67%) carry a carcinogenic classification. Largest chemicals by pounds: Diisocyanates; Dichloromethane; Polycyclic aromatic compounds.
The dominant release pathway is off-site transfers at 77.9K lbs (83.2% of total volume), followed by air releases at 16.8%. Between 2019 and 2024, reported totals increased by 165% - from 9.4K lbs to 24.7K lbs. Nearest other TRI reporters: Globalfoundries Fab 8; Evonik Industries; Mpm Silicones LLC; Safety-Kleen Systems Cohoes (coh). Similar-scale peers outside New York: Polytek Development Corp. Franklin; Novozymes Blair Inc; Americhem Inc Dga; Tetra Chemicals.
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 Polyset Co Inc has filed with the EPA under federal community right-to-know requirements - open Globalfoundries Fab 8 for a different chemical mix before treating volume as risk.

About TRI Data
Data as of 2023 reporting year. Source: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Toxic Release Inventory.
Data comes from the EPA Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) program. Facilities that manufacture, process, or otherwise use listed toxic chemicals above threshold amounts are required to report annually to the EPA.
On this page the largest disclosed chemicals include Diisocyanates, Dichloromethane, Polycyclic aromatic compounds; nearby reporters include Globalfoundries Fab 8. "Total releases" includes air, water, land, and off-site transfers for disposal, aggregated across available reporting years. Quantities are self-reported estimates, not measured stack emissions.
PlainEnviro presents this data without advocacy framing. The presence of a facility in the TRI database does not by itself indicate a health risk. For site-specific health questions, consult your local environmental or health agency.
