A correlation has been developed between closed‐cup flash points and normal boiling points for silicone compounds. In addition, a more general correlation has been developed between these two properties for the general organic compounds, including silicone compounds. The closed‐cup flash points can be predicted using empirical equations. The standard errors of estimate are 11.06 and 11.66°C for silicone compounds and general organic compounds (including silicone compounds), respectively. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
