Several misunderstandings about the flash point of methyl silicone oil

1. "Silicone oil and silicone oil, since it is oil, there is a danger of burning!"
The flash point of common silicone oils is greater than 300 degrees. Generally, it is rare to reach such a high temperature, so don't worry. Flash point: The lowest temperature at which lightning-like combustion (flashing) occurs when an electric spark is close to the vapor of a flammable liquid mixed with air. Flash combustion is a phenomenon in which sufficient vapor is generated on the surface of the liquid and mixed with air to form a flammable gas, which will be extinguished as soon as it encounters a fire source. The lowest temperature at which flashover occurs is called the flash point.

2. Will it burn if it is higher than this temperature? If there is an open flame or something, isn't it dangerous?

There is a difference between flash point and fire point. The lower the flash point of a substance, the easier it is to ignite. The flash point is generally considered to be the lowest temperature at which a fire may start. Liquids with a flash point lower than or equal to 45°C are usually called flammable liquids, and those with a flash point higher than 45°C are called flammable liquids. It will be safe to use these combustible liquids at temperatures below the flash point.

Ignition point refers to flammable fuel oil (attention, it is flammable fuel oil!!!), the temperature at which the oil starts to burn when the oil is heated under specified conditions until it touches the flame and starts to burn for no less than 5s. That is the ignition point.

3. What will happen to silicone oil when it encounters an open flame?

Silicone oil is also self-extinguishing. After being ignited by an arc, once the arc stops, the flame of the silicone oil can be extinguished.
