The two current chemical producers of hydrazine in the United States are the Olin Corporation in Lake Charles, Louisiana, and Miles Inc. in Baytown, Texas. The chemical was also produced by Fairmount Chemical Company, Inc., Newark, New Jersey, as recently as 1987. 1,1-Dimethylhydrazine is produced by Olin and Uniroyal Chemical Company, Inc., Geismar, Louisiana. Estimates of past production (based on anhydrous hydrazine, although most production was of the hydrate) indicate that U.S. production volume was about 7,000 metric tons (15 million pounds) per year in the mid-1960s and increased to 17,000 metric tons (37 million poimds) per year in the mid-1970s. Production capacity in the United States was estimated at 17,240 metric tons (38 million pounds) in 1979 and about 14,000 metric tons (30 million pounds) in 1984, the most recent year for which information was located. 1,1-Dimethylhydrazine production volume was estimated to be at least 45 metric tons (99,000 pounds) in 1977 and more than 4.5 metric tons (9,900 pounds) in 1982 (HSDB 1995 Schmidt 1988 SRI 1987,... 

Dimethylhydrazine may also be released to soil from the application of daminozide (Alar ) as a growth enhancer on nonfood plants. The use of this chemical on food products was voluntarily cancelled in 1989 by the manufacturer (Uniroyal Chemical Company) (EPA 1992c). Daminozide contains about 0.005% 1,1-dimethylhydrazine as an impurity and about 0.012% of a daminozide solution that hydrolyzes to 1,1-dimethylhydrazine after 24 hours (EPA 1992c). No data were located on the amount of daminozide used annually, but it is estimated that, in 1989, 90% of potted chrysanthemums and 40-50% of 65 million square feet of bedding plants were treated with this chemical.

Antimicrobials for plastics contain active ingredients dispersed in a carrier material—a plasticizer, solvent, or resin. Liquid, powdered, and pelleted versions featuring even distribution in formulation and ease of handling are available. The most widely used active ingredients for polymer materials are 10,10-oxybisphmoxarsine, OBPA (Intercide from Alcros Chemicals), and 2-n-octy-4-ixothiazolin-3-l (Micro-Check from Ferro Corp.). Other chemistries are also available. AntimiCTobials are also commercially manufactured by Akzo Chemicals, Morton International Inc., Hexcel Corporation, and Uniroyal Chemical Company.
