NFPA 704
| HEALTH | 0 | Poses no health hazard, no precautions necessary and would offer no hazard beyond that of ordinary combustible materials | |
| FIRE | 1 | Materials that require considerable preheating, under all ambient temperature conditions, before ignition and combustion can occur. Includes some finely divided suspended solids that do not require heating before ignition can occur. Flash point at or above 93.3 °C (200 °F). (e.g. mineral oil, ammonia) | |
| REACT | 1 | Normally stable, but can become unstable at elevated temperatures and pressures (e.g. propene) | |
| SPEC. HAZ. |
