The percentage of a liquid or solid (by volume) that will evaporate at an ambient temperature of 70°F (20°C) unless some other temperature is stated. E.g., gasoline and paint thinner (mineral spirits) are 100% volatile; their individual evaporation rates vary, but over a period of time each will evaporate completely. This physical characteristic reflects the potential for releasing harmful vapour into the air. 2, record 2, English, - percent%20volatile%20by%20volume

El porcentaje de un líquido o sólido(por volumen) que se evapora a una temperatura ambiente de 70°F(20°C) a menos que se indique otra temperatura. Por ejemplo, la gasolina y los diluyentes de pintura(esencias minerales) son 100% volátiles; sus velocidades de evaporación individuales varían, pero al cabo de un período ambos se evaporan completamente. Esta característica física refleja el potencial de desprendimiento de vapores nocivos en el aire. 1, record 2, Spanish, - porcentaje%20vol%C3%A1til%20por%20volumen
