ASTM D1836-99

Standard Specification for Commercial Hexanes

SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers the range of products commonly referred to as hexanes, which find uses in the preparation of adhesives, coatings, and printing inks, as raw materials in chemical synthesis operations, and as solvents in various kinds of extraction operations.  
1.2 This standard does not purport to address the safety problems, if any, 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 Section 6.  
1.3 For specific hazard information and guidance consult supplier's Material Safety Data Sheet.
