FORMULATIONS AND METHODS FOR RAISING THE FLASH POINTS OF VOLATILE ORGANIC SOLVENTS

摘要

A premix formulation raises the flash point of a volatile organic solvent to a level that results in a solvent mixture that is less volatile. The premix formulation includes a blend of two or more terpenoids and acetone. The blended terpenoids are preferably present in the premix formulation in an amount of about 2% to about 40%, by weight, based on the total weight of the premix formulation. The premix formulation preferably includes about 60% to about 98% acetone, by weight, based on the total weight of the premix formulation.
