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 acid (99.0 % 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 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 and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. For specific hazard statements, see Section 6.
1.5 For hazard information and guidance, see the supplier's Material Safety Data Sheet.
