Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

Class II flammable liquid. This designation includes materials that must be moderately heated before ignition will occur.

Water spray may be used to extinguish fires because the material can be cooled below its flash points.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Anisole has a NFPA Class 2 flammability rating.
