On April 8, 2021, a mixture of flammable naphtha solvent vapors and resin liquid escaped through the seal of a closed manway of an operating kettle and created a flammable vapor cloud, which quickly found an ignition source. The resulting explosion and fire led to the death of one employee, injuries to eight others, and over $90 million in property damage.
