Abstract

Flash point of a chemical characterizes its operating safety envelope. Tri-isoamyl phosphate (TiAP) is being proposed as an alternate to conventional nuclear solvent tri-n-butyl phosphate but flash point of TiAP containing organic solutions are not available in literature. Flash points of C8–C16 n-alkanes and 36% TiAP/C8–C16 n-alkane solutions were experimentally measured and correlated by means of empirical correlations. This paper is probably the first reported work in the literature on flash points of TiAP containing solutions.
