Ascend Performance Materials Wins Safety Award
April 18, 2011
Ascend Performance Materials LLC received the 2010 CSX Chemical Safety Excellence Award for the safe transportation of hazardous materials by rail through safe loading and maintenance of rail cars.
Ascend was one of 59 recipients of the award nationwide. To qualify for the award, each winner shipped 600 or more railcars on CSX safely through 2010 with no releases attributed to loading or unloading processes. Improper loading/unloading or failure to fully secure rail cars during those processes can result in what are referred to as non-accidental releases. Shippers include companies from the chemicals, fertilizer, agriculture and metals merchandise commodity markets as well as from emerging markets.
Ascend Performance Materials operates a manufacturing facility, formerly known as Solutia Inc., in Cantonment.
