Coleman, E.H. and Elkins, G.H., 1956. THE FLAMMABILITY OF MIXTURES OF ETHYLENE OXIDE AND METHYL BROMIDE. Fire Research Notes 244


ABSTRACT

It is proposed to use a mixture of ethylene oxide and methyl bromide as a fumigant. The flammable limits of such mixtures have been determined in a standard tube. It is concluded that vapour mixtures of ethylene oxide and methyl bromide in the proportions of 1:2 parts by volume will not form flammable mixtures with air.
