Built in 1953, the Pensacola Plant is situated on a 2200 acre tract, 12 miles north of the City of Pensacola, on the Escambia River. Solutia is the world's largest producer of nylon carpet staple. The facility produces nylon polymer chips for the automotive and electrical industries. Some of the adipic acid produced is sold outside the fiber market where it goes into food additives -- jell-o and no salt to provide tartness. The facility also produces maleic anhydride, which utilizes butane as a raw material.
