Bill Rodebaugh

Plant Manager

It all starts with Frankford.  AdvanSix Frankford facility is one of North America’s largest producers of phenol, which is sold to customers around the world. This phenol is also shipped to our Hopewell, Virginia, site, where it is used to make caprolactam, the primary feedstock in the production of nylon polymer, which is used in carpet fibers, plastics and films. The Frankford plant also produces other chemical intermediates, including acetone and alpha-methylstyrene, which are ultimately used in a variety of applications including solvents, resins and plastics.

AdvanSix is active in the Frankford community and strives to be a good neighbor each and every day. The team is actively involved with the local Boys and Girls Club, as well as the Greater Northeast Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce and the Bridesburg Business Association. I am proud to lead this site and work alongside the talented team at Frankford to ensure the safe, stable and sustainable operations that our customers rely upon.

AdvanSix Acetone NF Grade

 

Acetone (also known as dimethyl ketone and 2-propanone) is a clear, colorless, low-boiling, flammable, volatile liquid characterized by rapid evaporation and a faintly aromatic, sweetish odor. It is readily miscible in most organic solvents and completely miscible, in all proportions, in water. Acetone is one of the simplest aliphatic ketones, and is an excellent solvent for a wide range of gums, resins, waxes, fats, greases, oils, dyestuffs and cellulosics. It is widely used as a chemical intermediate in the production of methyl isobutyl ketone and other solvents, and in the production of such important chemicals as bis-phenol-A and methyl methacrylate. It is also used in the manufacture of a wide variety of coatings and plastics
