Report No: DOT/FAA/AM-63/27
Title and Subtitle: The flammability of lip, face, and hair preparations in the presence of 100% oxygen
Report Date: November 1963
Authors: Dille RJ, Crane CR, Pendergrass GE
Abstract: The effects of high concentrations and pressures of oxygen and static sparks upon lip, face and hair preparations were determined because of questions that frequently arise and apprehension that exists. A wide margin of safety was found for their use at or below one atmosphere of pressure. However, their use in experimental or therapeutic compressions is not deemed safe due to a marked increase in the effects of a static spark upon these compounds at two atmospheres oxygen pressure.
Key Words: oxygen, flammability, lip, face, hair.
