Test Method for Acetone, p-Chlorobenzotrifluoride, Methyl Acetate or t-Butyl Acetate Content of Solvent-Reducible and Water-Reducible Paints, Coatings, Resins, and Raw Materials by Direct Injection Into a Gas Chromatograph

1.1 This test method is for the determination of the total-concentration of acetone, p-chlorobenzotrifluoride, methyl acetate, or t-butyl acetate, or combination of any of the four, in solvent-reducible and water-reducible paints, coatings, resins, and raw materials. Because unknown compounds that coelute with the anallyte being measured or with the internal standard, will lead to erroneous results, this test method should only be used for materials of known composition so that the possibility of interferences can be eliminated. The established working range of this test method is from 1 % to 100 % acetone by weight.

1.2 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.
