Did you know that U.S. Postal regulations state that, unless you provide a Hazardous Cargo form on the outside of the box, you cannot ship products with a flashpoint below 201°F via Priority Mail? Want to know if that if that Perfumed Body or Linen Spray you're creating can be shipped via Priority Mail? Here's a handy way to check. You can also use this Flashpoint Calculator to assist you in tweaking your formulation until its calculated flashpoint is 201°F or above so you can ship it via Priority Mail without any worries.
Use this Flashpoint Calculator to estimate the adjusted flashpoint of anhydrous mixtures of oils, esters, silicones and fragrances. We have listed the known flashpoints of many fixed oils, as well as silicones and esters we carry. Choose your ingredient and add its percentage in your formula. We've also included "Other" rows where you can fill in the flashpoint and percentage of ingredients that may not be listed here. Note, your total must equal 100%. Click Calculate and the Result will be the estimated flashpoint for your mixture. This is an estimating tool only and is not meant to replace conventional flashpoint testing. If you need a company to do flashpoint testing for you, please contact us and we'll be happy to provide that information.
