Combustible 05
Combustible 05 : A combustible material can be a solid or liquid. The U.S. Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) defines a combustible liquid as "any liquid having a flash point at or above 100 deg. F (37.8 deg. C), but below 200 deg. F (93.3 deg. C), except any mixturehaving components with flashpoints of 200 deg. F (93.3 deg. C), or higher, the total volume of which make up 99 percent or more of the total volume of the mixture". Compare this definition to flammable, which indicates a liquid that is even easier to ignite (flash point below 100 oF). OSHA divides combustible (and flammable) liquids into several classes. If you'd like to See: These, take a look at 29 CFR 1910.106. Combustible solids are those capable of igniting and burning. Wood and paper are examples of such materials. MSDS Relevance: Proper storage and use of combustible materials is absolutely critical in maintaining a safe work place. Avoid placing or using combustible materials near sources of heat or flame (direct sunlight, furnaces, pilot lights etc Use caution when disposing of combustible materials such as linseed oil-soaked rags (which can spontaneously combust). When dispensing combustible or flammable liquids, keep in mind that static electricity poses a very real threat; obey all standard bonding and grounding practices. Also note that many common dusts such as flours, and grains can readily combust or even explode. See: Our dust entry for additional information.
