(Specification)Standard Specification for 2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate
Standard Specification for 2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate
ABSTRACT
This specification covers 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (99% grade) for use in paint, varnish, lacquer, and related products. The properties of this material shall be determined in accordance with the following test methods: purity; water; color; acidity; and level of methyl ether of hydroquinone.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (99 % 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 E 29.
1.3 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.Specific hazard statements are given in 4.1.
1.3 For specific hazard information and guidance, consult supplier's Material Safety Data Sheet.
WITHDRAWN RATIONALE
This specification covers 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (99 % grade) for use in paint, varnish, lacquer, and related products.
Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee D01 on Paint and Related Coatings, Materials, and Applications, this specification was withdrawn in June 2011 in accordance with section 10.5.3.1 of the Regulations Governing ASTM Technical Committees, which requires that standards shall be updated by the end of the eighth year since the last approval date.
