You know, Sansenoi brings up a great question, I have been wondering this for years. Since Indestructibles are made of celluloid, What kind of Fire Hazard do they pose today??? I know that Early Celluloid projection film is highly flammable, and can actually spontaneously combust if stored at the wrong temperatures or if it is stored next to or too close to other celluloid film.
This subject is definately worthy of investigation, and perhaps some fire tests! My father used to do plastic tests for Underwriter's labratories (UL), The 100 year old testing company in Melville, Long Island. He is quite healthy and active today at 75, Perhaps I will grab some cylinders and run some basic FIRE tests on them with his assistance.
This subject should probably be moved to a separate thread since everyone will be interested in it. So I am doing just that. Check for the message on the main board. What are your thoughts on this subject? Please goto the main board to check for this message. Do Not reply to this particular subject here because it has its own thread now. Thank You.
