1 hurt in spill at Burlington County chemicals company

Authorities sent a hazmat team into a Burlington County building Friday that houses a manufacturing company, following a reported spill of an unknown substance.

Dispatchers received a call around 10:35 a.m. about the incident at CVC Speciality Chemicals at 2890 Route 73 in Maple Shade. The spill was cleaned up by early afternoon, authorities said.

One worker was injured when the spill occurred and taken to a local hospital, authorities said. The extent of the worker's injuries, and what type of substance had spilled, were not released.

Authorities said the spill was confined to the building. CVC's website says that it handles the "manufacture of specialty materials used in high performance thermoset systems."
