There was an explosion at a core-drying oven in a foundry and a worker was dead. A core is used to cast something which needs empty space in it. A core-drying oven is an apparatus to dry a core which is spreaded by mould wash. Through scene investigation and examination for finding components, we find that the cause of the explosion is that 2-ethylhexanol, which is one component of mould wash, reach the specific condition. To prevent similar accidents, we urge that the risk criteria for mould wash should be provided as soon as possible.
