Do Lighters Explode When Exposed To Water?

　　The safety hazards of lighters is an important knowledge to know in our daily life. Small machines generally used to light cigarettes or other ignitions are called lighters. There are three types of lighters: gasoline lighters, electronic (piezoelectric) lighters, and gas lighters. Will the lighter explode when exposed to water?

　　The lighter may explode when exposed to water. The explosion is a violent chemical reaction. If the conditions are right, it will explode in water, but due to the action of water pressure, the explosion intensity will be much smaller than that outside.

　　Reasons for lighter explosions:

　　1. The lighter will explode when it is poorly made or broken.

　　2. The regular fuel in lighters is generally butane. Although the price is more expensive, it is relatively safe. But some unscrupulous merchants use methyl ether, propane, etc. instead to pursue profits, which is more dangerous.

　　3. The butane of the lighter is sealed, but if the lower part of the lighter is unqualified, it is easy to leak air. After the lighter leaks, if it encounters an open flame, it will explode.

　　4. An explosion will also occur when the lighter is smashed. If it is too close to the fire source or exposed to the sun, and the temperature exceeds 50 degrees, an explosion may also occur.

　　5. To ensure safety, before using the lighter, it is best to light the lighter at a distance and then close to the face to light the cigarette.

　　6. Disposable gas lighters are best not to be placed in the car or direct sunlight.
