Conclusion
Is paint flammable/combustible? Well, it depends. As you can see there’s no single substance of “paint” and while some paints are, indeed, highly flammable and present a genuine fire hazard, others aren’t such a risk, thanks to being made from materials which resist flames. The best rule of thumb is that if you are uncertain whether the paint is flammable or not, is to treat as though it is and store it safely in a place where it is unlikely to come into contact with a spark, flames, or any other source of fire. Flammable liquids can create severe fire hazards and wherever possible, you want to minimize the risks of using and storing them. Related Articles:
