Standard Specification for Methyl Amyl Acetate (95 % Grade)

ABSTRACT
This specification covers methyl amyl acetate2 (95 % grade) for use in paint, varnish, and related products. The apparent specific gravity, color property, distillation range, non-volatile matter, odor property, water property, acidity, and ester value shall be tested to meet the requirements prescribed.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers methyl amyl acetate (95 % grade) for use in paint, varnish, 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 For specific hazard information and guidance, see the supplier's Material Safety Data Sheet for materials listed in this specification.
1.4 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.
