Help determine whether it belongs to Category C liquids
Thread Content
These are the physical and chemical properties of the substance provided by the manufacturer; a flash point greater than 200 would indicate it belongs to Category C. However, it is stated that it does not burn – I seek guidance on this. Melting point: < 18 degrees Boiling point: > 200 degrees Flash point: > 200 degrees Evaporation rate: Not applicable Flammability (solid/gas): Non-flammable Lower explosion limit: Not tested Burning temperature: > 530 degrees Thermal decomposition: > 230 degrees Vapor pressure: 0.01 Pa (25 degrees)
Liquids with a flash point greater than 60 degrees Celsius are classified as Class C liquids. Non-flammable liquids should belong to Class V.
How can there be a burning temperature without combustion?
If it is a non-flammable liquid, then it will not have a flash point; for truly non-flammable liquids, the value indicated in the flash point field is usually meaningless. Now that there is a flash point, it is appropriate to treat it as a Class C liquid.
Could you provide the name of the substance and its CAS number?
It is a mixture; the manufacturer only provides a code and these physical and chemical properties. The manufacturer claims it does not burn, but I saw that it has a flash point, so I’m not sure whether it belongs to Category C or not.
Go to the laboratory and test it to see if it actually burns; what is learned from books is not enough.
