Can You Spray 75% Alcohol in a Car?
1 Answers
It is not advisable to spray 75% alcohol in a car because alcohol is a flammable and explosive substance. When exposed to sunlight, the temperature inside a closed car can reach 50-60 degrees Celsius. In a poorly ventilated environment, if there is an open flame or something that aids combustion, such as lighting a cigarette, an explosion may occur. If you need to disinfect with alcohol, it is better to use a wiping method instead of direct spraying. Before using 75% alcohol to disinfect the vehicle, turn off the engine and keep the car in a non-operational state. At the same time, ensure proper ventilation in the car. Since the flash point of 75% alcohol is around 22 degrees Celsius and alcohol evaporates quickly, car owners must ensure there are no open flames nearby and be mindful of the amount of alcohol used to avoid high alcohol concentration in the air, which could lead to an explosion.
