Flash Point
The flash point indicates how easy a chemical may ignite and burn

The flash point of a chemical is the lowest temperature where it will evaporate enough fluid to form a combustible concentration of gas. The flash point is an indication of how easy a chemical may burn. Materials with higher flash points are less flammable or hazardous than chemicals with lower flash points. Hazard Very Low Hazard Moderate Low Hazard High to Moderate Hazard Extreme to High Hazard Extreme Hazard Flash Point Flash point > 200oF (93oC) Flash point 150oF to 200oF (66oC to 93oC) Flash point 100oF to 150oF (38oC to 66oC) Flash point 0oF to 100oF (-18oC to 38oC) Flash point < 0oF (-18oC)

An open flame is not always necessary to ignite the gas. A hot surface like a heating element or warm machine will do for chemicals with more than high hazard. Flash Point is not the same as the Auto-Ignition Temperature. The Auto-Ignition Temperature is the minimum temperature required to ignite a gas or vapor in air without a spark or flame being present.
