  • Acetone.
  • Methanol
  • Ethyl Acetate
  • Hexanes

In What Ways?

A liquid with a flash point under 100°F is considered flammable.

Examples: gasoline, acetone, toluene, diethyl ether, alcohols.

Hazard: May produce ignitable vapors at normal ambient temperatures.

(take note)

Precautions

  • Ensure that all stored containers are in good condition, closed and properly labeled.
  • Use flammable liquids and combustible liquids in a fume hood to prevent buildup of ignitable vapor/air mixtures or inhalation of toxic vapors or gases.
  • Avoid placing ignition sources (hot materials, flames, or sparking equipment) in the general vicinity of these liquids. If possible, replace open flames by electrical heating.
  • Ground equipment likely to produce a static spark.
  • Implement additional safety precautions when flammable and combustible liquids are heated to or above their flash points.
  • Compressed or liquefied gases present special fire hazards. Refer to the EH&S Compressed Gas Guidelines.
