FYI:
>From Webster's Third New International Dictionary: STODDARD SOLVENT: "a straight run petroleum naphtha fraction of low flammability containing principally aliphatic hydrocarbons and conforming to specifications (as water-white color, distillation range 300°F to 400°F, and a flash point over 100°F) for use chiefly in dry cleaning - compare PETROLEUM SPRIT" PETROLEUM SPRIT: "a flammable petroleum distillate that boils lower than kerosene and is suitable for use as a solvent and thinner esp. for paints and varnishes - compare NAPHTHA Will this help? Also - Back on 10-10-00 Ned Divine (in this forum) stated that IEC60650 requirement is for the use of aliphatic solvent hexane. He also stated that it is available through Aldrich Chemical #20,875-2. He also stated that the CAS # is 110-5A-3. -----Original Message----- From: Hans Mellberg [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, January 02, 2001 4:50 PM To: Kenneth McCormick; [email protected] Subject: RE: Seeking assistance from Chemical Experts At 01:40 PM 1/2/01 -0700, Kenneth McCormick wrote: >Thanks guys...BUT, I am not trying to convince UL that I am correct.

There are at least four chemical compositions that "qualify" for the term "petroleum spirits" You can find their specification at the ASTM website http://www.astm.org/DATABASE.CART/PAGES/D235.htm The spec you want is: D235-99 Standard Specification for Mineral Spirits (Petroleum Spirits) (Hydrocarbon Dry Cleaning Solvent) ------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list.
