ASTM D3734 Standard Specification for High-Flash Aromatic Naphthas
1. Scope
1.1 This specification covers two types of aromatic hydrocarbon solvents, normally petroleum distillates, having high flash points, moderately low volatility, and a distillation range of approximately 50°F (30°C). These solvents are used primarily by the coatings industry and are commonly referred to as high-flash aromatic naphthas.
1.2 For specific hazard information and guidance, see the supplier's Material Safety Data Sheet for materials listed in this specification.
