Fume Point:
A fume hood should be used. This point is very subjective in na-
ture and is impacted by individual tolerance to different fumes and smells, how
well the bath is covered, the surface area of the fluid in the bath, the size and
ventilation of the facility where the bath is located and other conditions. We as-
sume the bath is well covered at this point. This is also subject to company
policy.
Flash Point:
The point at which ignition may occur. The point shown may be
either the open or closed cup flash point. Refer to the flash point discussion in
Section 8.1.8.

Shaded area represents usable range of fluid starting at
50 centistokes. Lighter shading represents decreasing
viscosity, while vaporization and decomposition increase.
Black area represents liquid range with excessive
viscosity.
