Lubrizol Corporation says a tank truck delivery made to the Painesville facility on Saturday had temperatures above guidelines.
According to the facility, water is being used to lower the container's temperature.
Lubrizol said there is "no indication of a risk to the surrounding community at this time."
According to the Ohio Department of Transportation, all lanes on state Route 2 West beyond state Route 283, near the facility, are closed.
The facility said the nearby roads were closed out of "an abundance of caution."
Earlier in the day, the Painesville Police Department said it responded to the facility for an "emergency situation."
News 5 crews are working to gather more information.
We have requests out to multiple agencies regarding the matter.
This is a developing story.
