Foreword
This book brings together and makes easily accessible data on flash points presently listed in the standard references, plus many values measured in American industrial laboratories and European data as represented by the Fluka catalog and by values given in Nabert and Schoen. It is a collection that should be useful to those involved in manufacturing, handling, and shipping the many organics and organometallics now in production. The author would like to thank David Harvey, President, and Chuck Pouchert, of Aldrich Chemical Company, for permission to use their material and for providing a computer printout of some six thousand chemicals listed in the Aldrich catalog. Flash points for most of these chemicals were measured in the Aldrich laboratories and are not available elsewhere. Thanks are due also to Dr. Marjan Bace of Elsevier Science Publishing Co., Inc., who recognized the need for a handbook on flash points and handled the publishing arrangements. Particular thanks go to my wife, Mary, who prepared the entire camera-ready manuscript. Richard M. Stephenson December, 1986

Introduction
Flash points are of particular importance to those involved with the handling and shipping of organics and organometaliics. As each country has its own shipping regulations, this can be a real problem for international shippers. Many flash points have been determined by individual chemical manufacturers in answer to their own needs. For example, about 80% of the thousands of flash points listed in the Aldrich catalog! have been measured in their own laboratories. Similarly, the Swiss laboratory supply house Fluka Chemie AG has measured many of the values in their catalog. Kirk-Othmer' lists many flash points measured in industrial laboratories, and Ernest Flick2 has done a good job of searching industrial sales catalogs and providing many flash points in his Solvents Handbook. Note, however, that all flash point data must be approached with caution. Because values are often simply copied from one
