HI,

Does anyone know what is the evaporating temperature of LHM ?

Thanks

This doesn't really answer your question, but I think it's the closest you'll get to a meaningful answer. It's taken from the MSDS for Total LHM Plus which contains plenty of information that you never knew you didn't need to know :lol:

If you wanted the atmospheric pressure boiling point the LHM MSDS above gives it as greater than 316°C. Any liquid will evaporate at lower temperatures though, put some water on your hand and it will gradually evaporate to demonstrate this whereas its boiling point is 100°C at atmospheric pressure. If you lower the pressure the boiling point will reduce.
