This specification covers the properties and requirements for 2-butoxyethanol. Specimens shall be suitably sampled and tested, and shall meet specified values of the following properties: apparent specific gravity; color (Pt-Co scale); distillation range (initial boiling point and dry point); water content; and acidity (free acid as acetic acid).

1.1 This specification covers 2-butoxyethanol.

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 E 29.

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 Material Safety Data Sheet for materials listed in this specification.
