flash point and epoxy

Post by knightsofnii »

what is "flash point" regarding the properties of epoxies?

I was comparing properties of certain Huntsman resins, and noticed they all have a "flash point". And I'm having flash-BACKS to reading somewhere about this and feelings of negativity come to me, but I cant remember for the life of me what it was about...

Anybody know? What is a good and bad flash point?
Should there be one at all?

A materials flash point is the lowest temperature at which combustion may occur (usually in the vapor), this is not always sustained combustion though.

It is typically used for transportation/shipping classification. So I would think it is in its individual parts.

I wouldn't think there is a bad or a good flashpoint.

The higher the safer though.
