With the recent increase in the use of lithium-ion batteries, the risk of fire and explosion is also increasing. The purpose of this study is to secure the safety of the process by studying the combustion characteristics of EC(Ethylene Carbonate), Which is mainly used as an electrolyte organic solvent for lithium ion batteries. The flash points of the EC by using Setaflash and Pensky-Martens closed-cup testers were experimented at 141 ℃ and 143 ℃, respectively. The flash points of the EC by Tag and Cleveland open cup testers were experimented at 152 ℃ and 156 ℃, respectively. The AIT of the EC was experimented at 430 ℃. The LEL calculated by using lower flash point of Setaflash was calculated at 3.6 vol.%.
