Standard Specification for Isobutyl Alcohol

ABSTRACT
This specification covers isobutyl alcohol for use in paint, varnish, lacquer, and related products. Isobutyl alcohol shall be tested for apparent specific gravity, color, distillation range, nonvolatile matter, water, and acidity, and shall conform to the requirements of the specification. Test methods shall be in accordance with ASTM standard methods.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers isobutyl alcohol for use in paint, varnish, lacquer, and related products.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.3 The following applies to all specified limits in this standard; for purposes of determining conformance with this standard, an observed value or a calculated value shall be rounded off "to the nearest unit" in the last right-hand digit used in expressing the specification limit, in accordance with the rounding-off method of Practice E 29.
1.4 For specific hazard information and guidance, see the supplier's Material Safety Data Sheets for materials listed in this specification.
