Para Trooper will be diluted at the point of application. Therefore, it should be diluted in hot water between 160 F and 145 F. We recommend heating the water to 160 F for the dilution process because there will be a natural cooling effect before Para Trooper is actually applied to the paraffin residue. Q: In the MSDS, Para Trooper is listed as having a flash point of 133 F, yet you recommend heating the water used for diluting the product to 160 F. Will this create a problem when Para Trooper is mixed with the heated water? A: No, there will not be a problem with diluting Para Trooper with water at 160 F. The 133 flash point (combustion point) for Para Trooper refers to the concentrated form of the product. The flash point will be raised above 160 F as the product is diluted with water, making it safe to use at this temperature.
