How flammable is toilet water?

Summer is coming, mosquitoes are rampant, and many people turn to toilet water for help. Although toilet water can repel mosquitoes, it is also risky to use!

It is reported that not long ago, young mother Xiao Li was afraid that her 3-year-old baby would be bitten by mosquitoes, so she painted him with toilet water. After a while, Xiao Li felt that there were still many mosquitoes in the room, so he planned to light a mosquito-repellent incense. Later, she took a circle of mosquito-repellent incense and a lighter and squatted next to the child to light the mosquito-repellent incense. Unexpectedly, as soon as the lighter was turned on, the 3-year-old child began to scream and his left calf caught fire! Only after seeing the doctor Xiao Li did I know that the cause of the fire turned out to be toilet water!

According to fire experts, toilet water is flammable and explosive, and it is often ignited due to improper use in daily use. Because the main component of toilet water is ethanol (alcohol), the content is generally above 70%; The burning point of toilet water is very low, generally 24℃. Experiments show that when the fire source is close to toilet water 3cm, it can be ignited and in a spray state.

Therefore, don't get close to open flames after applying toilet water. Don't turn on natural gas for cooking immediately after applying toilet water. When it is hot in summer, don't put toilet water in the car, and don't spray toilet water next to the hot electronic mosquito-repellent incense.

In addition to toilet water, there are also the following daily necessities that are also at risk of fire:

cosmetics

A man sat in the dressing room and made her up. Seeing her sitting bored, a man next to her stepped forward and lit a cigarette for her. Unexpectedly, the fire in the lighter quickly reached the lady's right face and burned on the spot ... Although the rescue was timely, the fire didn't last long, and almost all the lady's right face was burned.

Mosquito killer

Can a mosquito killer blow up wooden doors? It sounds crazy, but it is true. Mr. Guo of Xuzhou encountered such a tragedy. One afternoon, Mr. Guo accidentally dropped the leaked mosquito killer on the ground. After hitting the ground, the vaporization pressure of the liquid in the bottle exceeded the pressure-bearing capacity of the tank, resulting in an explosion. Suddenly, the air rushed out, and the force was so great that a wooden door in Mr. Guo's house was instantly torn off. According to firefighters, the explosion was related to high temperature weather, tank collision, narrow space in Mr. Guo's home and closed windows.

mousse

Mousse is a kind of hair gel, and its main raw materials are resin and solvent-flammable alcohol. This actually makes Mousse a small pressure vessel with certain explosion risk. If it is close to the heat source, it will explode and cause a fire. Xiaoli does her hair in the barber's shop, but the barber smokes while playing mousse. When he pressed the lighter, Kelly's head suddenly caught fire …

perfume

The essence of perfume will only dissolve in organic solvents such as ethanol, so the perfume will be rich in a certain amount of ethanol (that is, alcohol). In order to prevent accidents, don't touch open flames when spraying perfume.

nail polish

Nail polish, also known as nail polish, is usually made of methyl oil-based materials, toluene, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, nitrocellulose and oil-soluble pigments in a certain proportion, and the product contains 70% ~ 80% of volatile solvents. At the same time, nitrocellulose is easy to spontaneously ignite in the air, so nail polish is also listed as a dangerous chemical.
