ASTM D2916-09(2017)

Standard Specification for Isophorone

ABSTRACT
This specification covers isophorone volatile solvents used in paints, varnishes, lacquers, and related products. Isoprophone should conform to the specified requirements on apparent specific gravity, color, distillation, purity, acidity as acetic acid, and water content.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers isophorone2 (98 % 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 E29.  
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.  
1.4 For specific hazard information and guidance, see the supplier’s Safety Data Sheet for materials listed in this specification.  
1.5 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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.  
1.6 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
