Polyesters ignite at 432-488ºC. Cotton on the other hand, 250ºC. Wool is 228-230ºC.
I'd prefer to have polyester in my engine bay.

wonder why it doesnt say it is flamable on the bottle though?
if you mix brake fluid and chlorine it blows up into flames
That's because the chlorine oxidises the brake fluid, which is about 85% ethers of glycol. And ether is very flammable.Quote:

Actually, brake fluid doesn't self-ignite because it doesn't have a high enough vapour pressure. But if you did put a flame to it, 200ºC is all you need to get it to burn. That's lower than DOT4's 280ºC boiling point at atmospheric pressure (it's at much higher pressure in your brake lines, so the boiling point is higher when used.)Quote:
