Low Flash Point Chemicals
The following table lists some of the most common organic chemicals with low
flash points
(below 32 C), as measured by the Closed Cup method.
These chemicals present a notable fire risk, which must be
taken into account when planning work involving them. (Of course many other chemicals have
similarly low flash points - this list includes just some of
the more common ones.)
