BERLIN—BASF SE said Tuesday two employees had died and two people were missing a day after an explosion at its plant complex and headquarters in Ludwigshafen, Germany.

Six people were seriously injured and several others suffered light injuries in the explosion, which took place at 0920 GMT Monday during work on a pipeline system at the plant, the company said.

The chemical giant said the explosion had caused it to suspend the operation of its steamcrackers, which are used to convert hydrocarbons into other chemicals. The suspension will interrupt the supply chain of its raw materials and that around 20 other plants are either shut down or only partially running, the company said

BASF added that measurements taken outside of the plant have shown no increased levels of toxic substances in the air or the ground.
