Highly viscous liquids will resist tree ea hich results in reduced surface area. As discussed earlier, surface area has a dtect impact on levid fre severity. Unfortunately, the viscosity of many materials decreases wth elavated temperatures. Soe furont viscosity measurement techniques do not provide viscosities at fire temperatures, a reduction in fre hazard for viscous homogenous materials cannot be determined, Jere are other quis that consist of a mixture of solids and an igntable liquid. In cases whore there is a fhigh solid content, a reduction in fire hazard is expected, Liquids wth a viscosity of 10,000 op ard lose then rar tutes with viscosities between 10,000 oP and 100,000 cP. One example s automobile repar Pty, \which consists of a viscous base material combined with a small quantity of ow flash point solvent neue erainago eystoms are not needed for any liquid witha viscosity greater than 10,000 ¢P. Even though these liquids may experience a reduction in viscosity when exposed toa fire, i the sprinkler protocton ie. liquid negates the effectiveness of a drainage system in removing the liquid. 93.1.4 Liquids with Boiling Point Below 100°F (38°C) No testing has been conducted on these liquids. Their low boling point results in rapid vaporization when wenaces, This creates the potential or the formation of an explosive cloud ifthe liquid is ple, or the quick Sule of pressure in a sealed container exposed tofire. The impact onthe overall re hazard may be irnited Quick waporization produces a high mass loss rate that wll quickly reduce pool area. Those two factors ey cancel each other's impact on the overall heat release rate. The key concerns with these liquids is the Prevention of a large liquid release that could result in an explosion, and the prevention of containor Overpressurization during a fire. 3.1.5 Liquids with Specitic Gravity Above 1 Tras. auids can be extinguished by water i the water is given the opportunity to build up over the iquid's Surface. Emergency flor drainage Is not required for tis type of quid storage as long as adequare Containment can be provided to ensure water buildup over the igntableliquic's surface. The overall fre hazard {5 not expected to be significantly reduced since the liquid fire would not be extinguished untl water could completely cover its surface. 3.4.6 Atypical lgnitable Liquids 3.1.6.1 Liquids with Closed-Cup Flash Points At or Above 500°F (260°C) fused on the results of several research test programs, FM Global has defined a closed.cup flash point {hreshoid at which liquids wil not support fire spread across an unheated liquid pool. This does not mean these liquids will not burn; in fact, they stil represent a severe fre hazard when stored in small plastic. containers or larger containers with cardboard packaging, and when they are heated or pumped. 3.1.6.2 Silicone Fluids and Slicone Emulsions Historically, sicone fluids have been thought to present a minimal fie hazard because it was believed the cane dioxide ash produced by burning silcone fluids would act to coat the liquid surface and extinguish the tre nenrgttunately, large pool tres create significant fre plumes that lit even silicone dioxide ash away from {he liquid surface. Both small-scale and full-scale fire testing of higher viscosity silicone fluids has chown Frausey do bum and can make very challenging fires. Testing has also shown that relatively low sprinklor discharge rates can quickly extinguish some pool fires 3.1.6.3 Paste Ink Paste inks are commonly used in the printing industry. They generally consist of a vegetable oil base mixed Sols. True paste ink wil nat flow at room temperature without the application of pressure. Fires involving Basie ink are usually localized because the ink tends to accumulate on the floor and not readily spread, Protection criteria for paste ink is provided in Data Sheet 7-96, Printing Plants, (20122014 Factory Mutua Insurance Company ll rights recorved 7-29 Ignitable Liquid Storage in Portable Containers Page 48 FM Global Property Loss Prevention Data Sheets. 3.1.6.4 Water-Based Polyurethane Foam Packaging Systems Polyurethane packing systems are used at many manufacturing facilites to package product with a secure foam cushion around the product. These polyurethane systems are water-based and consist of two liquid ‘einponents that, when mixed, react to form polyurethane foam. One component is a polyol. This material ‘ezenmonly listed witha flash point on its MSDS, however, numerous pool ire test flied to result in a pool fear itdoes not need to be considered an ignitable quid. When polyurethane is used to manutacture padding for seats or other final products, the polyol is commonly mixed with an oll to create flexble foam. This version of the polyol does burn and is an ignitable liquid. ‘The second component of the foam packaging is polymethylene polypheny! isocyanate (PMD!). This is an igntable liquid: howover, the fire hazarditcreates is limited. I spilled it wil suppor fire spread across the fauic teface and can release enough energy to activate sprinklers. Sprinkler discharge will quickly extinguish the pool fire. However, a release ofthis iquid ina general purpose warehouse wil result in a very large ignition source, Composite IBC storage of PMDI will quickly fall when exposed to a PMD! pool fre. 3.1.6.5 Buttertat Fire testing on butterfat demonstrated that it will not suppor fire spread across the surtace of a liquid pool in large containers, butterfat can be treated like a liquid witha flash point above 500°F (260°C). 3.1.6.6 Unsaturated Polyester Resin (UPR) UPR is a polyester resin mixture with various amounts of styrene added. UPR is a liquid mixture with the majority of the material being a higher flash point resin and various amounts of styrene, which drives the lower flash point. I fe mixture has less than 50% styrene, protection recommendations will vary (reer to Section 2:1.36.1), Otherwise, evaluate it as an ignitable liquid using the mixture’s flash point. Spilled UPR will bum as a pool onthe floor. It tends to spread less, and have a slower flame spread, than ‘common low flash point liquids. Heating UPR in a metal container will cause polymerization without Signficartly overpressutizing the container (ie...container may partially vent without creating overpressure Gamage inthe building). Palletized relieving style drum storage of UPR can be protected with sprinkers and does not need drainage, 3.1.6.7 Propylene and Ethylene Glycol Mixtures Propylene and ethylene glycol are water-miscibe, high flash point (FP above 200°F [93°C) igntable tquids One big advantage of these liquids over other high flash point or water-miscible liquids (rom a protection Standpoin) is they quickly cease to produce a fire point wth dilution. Bench- scale testing of both ethylene and propylene glycol has shown they no longer produce a fire point once they have been mixed with 20% by Foleme water. From a pool fre standpoint, this is positive. 80% by volume or less glycol mixed with water Yoos not need to be treated as an ignitable quid because the iquids will nat burn when in a pool on the floor. However, these liquid mixtures can stil impact a fie while they are on the surface of burning cellulosic materiale. Intermediate-scale testing of glycol water mixtures being discharged onto burning wooden pales has shown that mixtures with more than 35% by volume glycol will increase the burning rate of the pallets. Based on this information, protection criteria for glycol water mixtures has been provided in this data sheet, 3.2 Construction and Location ‘The location and construction features provided for ignitable liquid storage are dependent on both the expected fire seventy wth protection systems in service and the potential for more severe fire scenarios than ware designed for. Container size has a signticant impact on the potential for a more severe fire scenario. Fire protection designs for larger containers of low flash point liquids are based on a flowing liquid release that is ignited immediatly. The amount of the spi is dependent on the container size. The scenario for metal ‘drums assumes a release from two drums on a single pallet. There is a potential for a larger release or a layed ignition. Both cases could result in a larger fire that wil challenge the provided protection scheme. ‘At a minimum, a cutotf room is needed to segregate ignitable liquid drum storage from other less hazardous, ‘occupancies. ‘Many combustible or brittle containers with low flash point, immiscible ignitable liquids cannot be easily protected with existing sprinkle technology. This type of storage needs to be well cuff! trom other Sccupancies since the confidence level in provided protection is low. (220122014 Factory Mutual insurance Company. lights reserved
