I've often seen 50�C at dash vent in UK. Cracking dashboards is a problem in hot climates. Other thermoplastics may lose shape. Styrene at 400�C is about the lowest temp that stuff the manufacturer puts in a car interior will autoignite at. Paper or PVC = 450�C. Though some vapour given off by heating the car may have a flash point lower than that but that takes a source of ignition to start the burn. -- Peter Hill Spamtrap reply domain as per NNTP-Posting-Host in header Can of worms - what every fisherman wants.

I think I might have a copy of the book somewhere but I am too idle to search it out. |
