Authorities say the explosion happened around noon Monday at the Esterline Defense Group's Highland Industrial Park site - better known as Armtec.
Plant manager Jim Zolinski tells the Camden News that one worker was hit by debris and that at least two workers were being treated for hearing problems or high blood pressure.
The Ouachita County Sheriff's Office says the explosion happened in a blending room where chemicals are mixed.
The plant makes flares for the U.S. military.
