Standard Specification for Ethyl Acrylate

ABSTRACT
This specification establishes the properties and requirements for ethyl acrylate for use in paint, varnish, lacquer, and related products. Specimens shall be sampled, undergo chemical tests, and conform accordingly to purity, water content, color, acidity, and methyl ether of hydroquinone content requirements.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers ethyl acrylate (99 % grade) for use in paint, varnish, lacquer, and related products.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
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 specification hazard information and guidance, see the Supplier's Material Safety Data Sheet for materials listed in this specification.
1.5 This standard may involve hazardous materials, operations, and equipment. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. Specific hazard statements are given in 4.1.
