Many substances, especially organic chemicals, oxidize with oxygen gas, releasing large amounts of heat. A flammable substance is one that burns easily.
Los “Residuos peligrosos” se clasifican en inflamables, corrosivos, reactivos y radiactivos. A continuación te comentamos sobre los residuos inflamables.

The flammability of a liquid is measured by its flash point, which corresponds to the lowest temperature at which the vapor released by the liquid ignites when exposed to flame. For example, methanol has a flash point of 12 ° C; acetone at -20 ° C. A liquid will be flammable when it has a flammability temperature below 60.5 ° C, such as pentane. Some liquids are also pyrophoric, that is, self-igniting.

Combustible liquids are those that have flash points between 60.5 and 93.3 ° C; so they burn less easily than flammable ones.
