Overview
ASTM D1007-11(2019) - Standard Specification for sec-Butyl Alcohol sets out the requirements and test methods for sec-butyl alcohol (also known as 2-butanol or secondary butanol) used in the production of paint, varnish, lacquer, and related products. Published by ASTM International, this standard provides essential specifications to ensure the consistent quality, safety, and performance of sec-butyl alcohol as an industrial solvent. Adherence to this specification guaranteed that manufacturers and suppliers meet internationally recognized criteria, contributing to product reliability across diverse applications.
Key Topics
The ASTM D1007-11(2019) standard addresses the following key areas:
Material Properties: Specifies critical physical and chemical requirements for sec-butyl alcohol:
- Apparent specific gravity (at 20/20°C or 25/25°C)
- Maximum color rating (Pt-Co scale)
- Distillation range, including initial boiling point and dry point
- Maximum levels for nonvolatile matter, water, and acidity (as acetic acid)
Sampling and Testing:
- Sampling methods must comply with ASTM Practice E300.
- Testing uses established ASTM test methods for properties such as color (D1209), density (D4052), water content (D1364), distillation range (D1078), nonvolatile matter (D1353), and acidity (D1613).
- Results are to be rounded as specified in ASTM E29 for consistency.
Packaging:
- Packaging size is determined by agreement between the buyer and supplier.
- Packaging must meet relevant carrier regulations or conform to U.S. Federal Specification PPP-C-2020, as specified.
Health and Safety:
- Users must refer to the supplier’s Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for hazard information and safe handling instructions.
Applications
Sec-butyl alcohol is a versatile chemical solvent used primarily in:
- Paints, Varnishes, and Lacquers: As a solvent, it optimizes viscosity and improves flow, leveling, and drying characteristics in coatings.
- Related Industrial Products: Used in formulating adhesives, printing inks, resins, and as an intermediate in chemical synthesis.
- Quality Assurance: Ensuring conformity to ASTM D1007-11(2019) supports reliable performance, reduced impurities, and improved product consistency throughout the coatings and chemical industries.
Compliance with this specification is essential for manufacturers, suppliers, and quality control laboratories seeking to meet global market requirements and regulatory standards for solvent quality.
