It is simple to prevent spontaneous combustion.
Also, heat radiating from nearby sources, such as machinery or a non-insulated steam line, can accelerate the self-heating process by heating the combustible materials and the surrounding air. The possibility of spontaneous combustion increases when the surrounding air is also warm and dry. Those materials can include rags, cotton or other fibrous combustible material, that have come into contact with oil based paint rags that are damp with any one of a number of different types of oils, including vegetable oils and oily uniforms or work clothes. Generally, this can happen when the materials are left in piles, which provide a source of insulation, trapping the heat that is generated.Ī number of materials are moderately or highly prone to self-heating and spontaneous combustion. In the case of oily rags, it’s a relatively simple process of oil oxidizing generating heat, which if not dissipated, will build up until combustion occurs.
This heating process is known as self-heating. Spontaneous combustion occurs when a combustible material is heated to its ignition temperature by a chemical reaction involving the oxygen in the air around the material. However, oily rags stored in a waste can or a in pile on the floor, can definitely ignite, even without any help from a separate ignition source. Many people do not believe that oily rags left undisturbed could ignite all by themselves without the presence of an ignition source, such as a spark or lighted match. A wool pad will remove any remaining fine grit, followed by foam pads for brilliance.Oily rags left in closed containers can present a serious risk of fire. Use a high quality system to get that showroom shine. WHAT YOU WILL NEED - Quality Buffing System – Buffer Polisher Wet Sand, working your way up the grit grades.
