Flash Points of Methanol based Water Solutions

The flash point of a chemical is the lowest temperature where it will evaporate enough fluid to form a combustible concentration of gas. The flash point is an indication of how easy a chemical may burn.

Flash Point
Methanol Concentration (%)	by mass	0	10	20	30	40	50	60	70	80	90	100
Methanol Concentration (%)	by volume	0	13	24	35	46	56	66	75	83	92	100
Temperature	^oF	-	130	110	95	85	75	70	60	54	54	54
Temperature	^oC	-	54	43	35	29	24	21	16	12	12	12
