This paper reports the upper flammability limits of 26 organosilicon compounds commonly used in the silicone industry and investigates the correlation between the upper flammability limit and the net heat of combustion. An empirical equation has been developed to predict the upper flammability limit of organosilicon compounds using the net heat of combustion. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
