The flash point is the lowest temperature at which a liquid can form an ignitable mixture in air near the surface of the liquid.

To ensure safety when handling materials with a flash point, follow these guidelines:

1. Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces, static electricity, and sources of ignition. Sparks and elevated temperatures should also be avoided. 2. Store in stable conditions and avoid excessive heat and freezing. 3. Ensure proper ventilation to prevent the accumulation of vapors. 4. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as safety glasses with side shields and rubber gloves. 5. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of the workday, and remove and wash contaminated clothing before reuse. 6. Incompatible materials include strong acids and bases and strong oxidizing agents.
