Can 75% Alcohol Be Brought into a Car?
1 Answers
From a safety perspective, 75% alcohol is not allowed to be brought into a car. Here are the detailed explanations: 1. Alcohol is a Class A fire hazard: The ignition point of alcohol is only 20°C. If the temperature inside the car is too high, it may cause spontaneous combustion. Therefore, it is best not to place alcohol in the car. If alcohol must be stored in the car, it is recommended to keep it in a well-sealed bottle, placed in a spot away from sunlight and relatively cooler, or park the car in a shaded area. 2. The flash point of 100% alcohol is around 12°C, while 75% alcohol has a flash point of approximately 22°C: The so-called "flash point" refers to the lowest temperature at which a mixture of fuel and outside air can ignite and immediately burn when exposed to a flame. Simply put, 75% alcohol can easily ignite or even explode at a minimum temperature of 22°C.
