Everyone is wondering why there was a seabrook explosion in Texas. A large chemical plant exploded, which occurred at an American Acryl facility at 11600 Port Road near old Texas 146 roughly at 8:50 this morning. The explosion happened near Seabrook. Fortunately, there are no injuries recorded. The blast site, which took some part of Texas 146 and Port Road, was closed.

Firefighters dispelled the fire an hour after. The explosion caused some discomfort to two people and their condition was checked in Memorial Hermann Hospital Southern. Both are in good condition at this moment.

After the blast, area residents were asked to move to a refuge area since the explosion involved a toxic substance, toluene, that can cause nausea. H pwever, at 11 am, the recommendation was lifted.

The Seabrook explosion, however, did not cause a release of any chemical such as acrylic acid.

Acrylic acid is a key compound commonly used in household and personal care products like disposable diapers, water-based products for paints, adhesives, and inks adhesives.

American Acryl is a 50-50 joint venture between NA Industries Inc. and Atofina Chemicals Inc.
