Why doesn’t Wholesale Supplies Plus sell SD or Perfumer’s Alcohol?
These alcohols have very low flashpoints (often below 60º F) and our local fire department has asked that we do not store any product with a flashpoint under 100º F in our facility. Every flammable liquid has a vapor pressure, which is a function of that liquid’s temperature. As the vapor pressure increases, the concentration of evaporated flammable liquid in the air increases. The flash point is the minimum temperature at which there is enough evaporated fuel in the air to start combustion. The fire point of a liquid is the temperature at which it will continue to burn after ignition for at least 5 seconds.
