The flash point of HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) plastic is not a relevant property for this material. The flash point refers to the lowest temperature at which a substance emits vapors that can ignite when exposed to an open flame or a source of ignition.

HDPE is a thermoplastic polymer, and it does not have a distinct flash point like flammable liquids or gases. Thermoplastics like HDPE do not emit flammable vapors at temperatures below their melting points. Instead, they soften and melt gradually when heated above their specific melting points.

The melting point of HDPE can vary depending on its molecular weight and density, but it typically falls within the range of 120 to 130°C (248 to 266°F). If HDPE is exposed to temperatures significantly above its melting point, it will start to melt and become molten rather than emitting flammable vapors.

As with any material, it's essential to handle HDPE with care and avoid exposure to high temperatures that could lead to melting and potential hazards.
