- When exposed to a temperature at or above its flash point, flammable and combustible materials produce vapors, which can easily burn when exposed to an ignition source.
- Rubbing alcohol, nail polish remover, hand sanitizer, and wart remover, in addition to gasoline and lighter fluid, can readily catch fire.
- Carbon and hydrogen are the most flammable elements because they recombine quickly with oxygen to form carbon dioxide, water, and different gases.
- As a result, the lower a material's flashpoint is, the greater the risk.
