ASTM D1718-03

Standard Specification for Isobutyl Acetate (95% Grade)

ABSTRACT
This specification details the properties and requirements for isobutyl acetate. The specimens shall be sampled, go through chemical tests and conform accordingly to specified values of the following requirements: apparent specific gravity; color (Pt-Co units) distillation (initial boiling point and dry point); nonvolatile matter content; water content; acidity (free acid as acetic acid); and purity.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers isobutyl acetate (95 % grade).
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 For specific hazard information and guidance, see the supplier's Material Safety Data Sheet for material 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.
