GLOSSARY TERM
Flash Point
The temperature at which a paint or solvent can ignite.
INFO
What it is
Flash point is the lowest temperature at which a paint or solvent releases enough vapour to ignite in the presence of a flame or spark. It is a measure of how flammable a product is.
Why it matters
Flash point governs how products must be stored, transported, and used safely. Solvent-based coatings with low flash points need care around heat, sparks, and ventilation to keep work safe.
Where it is used on a project
A safety consideration whenever solvent-based coatings are used, particularly in enclosed or occupied spaces where vapour can build up.
How NECC approaches it
We handle and store coatings in line with their safety data, controlling ventilation and ignition risks so solvent-based products are used safely on every site.
