Engineered Polymer Solutions: Vinyl acetate-led volume

Among the 3,917 Chemicals facilities in this database, Engineered Polymer Solutions reports the 1,031st-largest volume (79.8K lbs). Its reported volume is concentrated rather than spread: Vinyl acetate alone is 71.6% of the total. Carcinogen-classified chemicals make up 80.8% of the reported pounds, not just of the chemical count. Scale peers outside Oregon include Ineos Oligomers Chocolate Bayou and Avient Colorants USA LLC - Holden Facility.

Concentrated means ≥60% of Engineered Polymer Solutions's pounds in one chemical - here Vinyl acetate at 71.6%. Not a toxicity score.
