(Specification)Standard Specification for Acrylic Acid
Standard Specification for Acrylic Acid
ABSTRACT
This specification covers glacial acrylic acid (99.0% grade) for use in paint, varnish, lacquer and related products. The properties of the material shall be determined in accordance with the following test methods: purity; water; color; inhibitor; and dimer.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers glacial acrylic acid2 (99.0 % grade) for use in paint, varnish, lacquer and related products.
1.2 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 E29.
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.4 For hazard information and guidance, see the supplier’s Safety Data Sheet.
1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. For specific hazard statements, see Section 6.
1.6 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
