Almost 40 years after the explosion at the Flixborough chemical plant, the mystery remains as to the true causes of this accident. View of the Flixborough chemical plant after the explosion. The story began in 1938 when a plant to produce fertilisers was built near the village of Flixborough.Then, it evolved in 1964 to produce caprolactam, a precursor for the manufacture of Nylon.he immediate cause of the main explosion was the rupture of the 20 inch by-pass assembly between reactors 4 and 6. 40 to 60 tons of cyclohexane escaped and were ignited 30 seconds after by the reforming tower forming a cloud two hundred meters in diameter and 100 meters in height.
