Will anti-rust oil burn?

Some customers consulted: Is the anti-rust oil capacity not easy to catch fire?
The customer has recently prepared a lot of anti-rust oil goods, considering that there is no one on duty and worried about fire prevention, so I specifically come to consult. I believe that many anti-rust oil users also have this question. Composition of metal anti-rust oil First of all, let's first understand the composition of metal anti-rust oil. Metal anti-rust oil is generally prepared by adding anti-rust additives and additives to the Base Oil. According to the performance of the oil, it can be divided into: volatile anti-rust oil, oily anti-rust oil, replacement anti-rust oil, sealed anti-rust oil, dehydrated anti-rust oil, and water-based anti-rust agent. Of course, according to the workpiece material, processing technology, anti-rust time, etc., many kinds of metal anti-rust oils can also be subdivided. Different types have different uses. Except for water-based oils that are not combustible, oily oils are all combustible. Therefore, most anti-rust oils are basically combustible, but different anti-rust oils have different solvent flash points. Some are flammable and non-flammable, and some have low flash points, like volatile anti-rust oils. Relatively flammable.
Metal anti-rust oil is flammable, so it should be very dangerous, right? Since metal anti-rust oil is flammable, it should be very dangerous, right? In fact, metal anti-rust oil is combustible, but it is not as terrible as everyone thinks. For a simple example, take the common cooking oil in our lives. Cooking oil is combustible, but it is not flammable. It will burn only when the temperature reaches its ignition point. In daily use and storage, as long as we use it reasonably and store it properly, it is still safe. For the use and storage of metal anti-rust oil, it is also necessary to have such awareness of oil management. Normal storage method of anti-rust oil Store in a ventilated and dry place indoors in a sealed state, avoid direct sunlight, high-temperature baking, flames, and strong oxidants. When not in use, please keep it sealed. Volatile anti-rust oil has a low flash point. You should pay more attention when storing it. It must be sealed and stored in a ventilated and dry place. Therefore, for most metal anti-rust oils, it is flammable, but not flammable. In normal use and storage, pay attention to standard use and standard storage.
