cnfrost Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 I'm looking at ordering some Orange FO from Peak, and noticed the flash point is 135. What exactly does that mean? Is it going to burst into flame when I pour it into 175 degree wax? Are there any extra precautions that should be taken when working with an FO that has a lower FP?

candlesprite7 Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 It means that if you heat the FO to 135 degree's and you put a flame to it the vapors will catch on fire.You'll be fine putting into wax. Also when you add it to the wax the flash point will raise.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
