Can 75% Alcohol Be Kept in a Car?
1 Answers
75% alcohol can be kept in a car, but it is not recommended. Alcohol is a flammable and explosive substance. When exposed to sunlight, the temperature inside a sealed car can reach 50-60 degrees Celsius. In poorly ventilated conditions, if exposed to an open flame or other ignition sources, such as a lit cigarette, it can cause an explosion. If stored in a glass bottle, sunlight can create a magnifying glass effect, focusing light and igniting the alcohol, which can easily lead to an explosion. Perfumes containing alcohol should also not be used in cars. Many car owners place car perfumes to freshen the air inside the vehicle, but most perfumes contain alcohol. Low-quality perfumes are prone to explosion under high temperatures, posing extreme danger.
