Abstract
The flash points of volatile organic compounds are raised by using from about 0.05 to 5.0 wt. % of a combination of two or more terpene alcohols to allow the blended compound to have a higher flash point. In contrast to heavier loadings, the lower loading of two or more terpene alcohols to a VOC has been found to increase the range of uses for such compounds and as well as increasing the shelf life of the VOC.
