A material that is flammable catches on fire from a minimal source. For example, propane can catch fire from just a tiny spark.

A material that is combustible or combustile is any material that will burn but requires a more dominant source. For example, wood is combustile, it burns, but it needs more than just a spark to do so.

All flammable material are combustible but not all combustible material are flammable

Combustible means it will burn but it's difficult to ignite. Wood is combustible.

Flammable items will burn and they're easy to ignite. Gasoline is flammable.

"Inflammable" is an old term that means the product will burn. Back then they didn't differentiate on ease of ignition, so a can of roofing tar--which is extremely hard to ignite--and a can of acetone--which is very easy to ignite--were both marked Inflammable.

This is a strange one.

Flammable materials can burn.

Corrosive materials can dissolve other materials.

A material can be both flammable and corrosive. Alcohols are an example.

Combustible liquids can easily catch on fire and burn. Non-combustible liquids cannot, at least under a set of defined conditions.

Whether they combine with oxygen rapidly, as in a fire. I don't think of iron as combustible, even with rust.

What is the difference between combustible and noncombustible liquids?

Combustable liquids burn, all of them. Non combustable liquids, not so much.


What is the difference between combustible and noncombustible fabric?

Combustible fabric is material that can catch fire and burn when exposed to an ignition source, such as an open flame or heat. Examples include cotton, silk, and many synthetic fabrics. Noncombustible fabric, on the other hand, is material that does not readily catch fire or burn when exposed to these same sources of ignition. This type of fabric typically has a high resistance to flame and heat, making it safer in situations where fire risk is a concern. In summary, the key difference lies in their flammability properties, with combustible fabric being prone to ignition and burning, while noncombustible fabric is resistant to these risks.


What is the major difference between noncombustible construction and fire resistive construction?

Basically non combustible and fire resistive are the same. Difference is non combustible has steel frame members that are unprotected or limited protected. Fire resistive has protected steel frame members with a fire rated material such as concrete.
