Used in small amounts. Very fast evaporating. K01663000, ACETONE 1 10 -17°C 1 1 ok no * 1. Measure of time in minutes required for 90% to evaporate. ASTM-D3539. 2. Ratings express the approximate ability to dissolve resin and reduce viscosity. Rated 1 to 10 (10 best). 3. Temperature (°C) at which sufficient vapors are given off to ignite by open flame (Closed Cup Method). 4. Rated from 1 to 10 (10 best). Good flow permits paint film to level out into a smooth film of uniform thickness without orange peel, brush marks, etc. 5. Rates from 1 to 10 (10 slow) relative rating of time necessary to obtain surface or dry-free drying of film. 6. Status relative to proposed Federal EPA HAPS Rule. “No” means listed and regulated as hazardous air pollutant. 27 CUSTOMER SERVICE Phone: 866-736-1486 Fax: 800-243-3075 www.KPG-Industrial.com http://www.kpg-industrial.com/products/mineral_spirits/ http://www.kpg-industrial.com/products/xylene/ http://www.kpg-industrial.com/products/toluene/ http://www.kpg-industrial.com/products/vmp_naphtha/ http://www.kpg-industrial.com/products/epoxy_reducer/ http://www.kpg-industrial.com/products/urethane_reducer_brush_roll/ http://www.kpg-industrial.com/products/sc15_thinner_blend/ http://www.kpg-industrial.com/products/multipurpose_epoxy_reducer/ http://www.kpg-industrial.com/products/mek/ http://www.kpg-industrial.com/products/acetone/ http://www.kpg-industrial.com/products/xylene/ http://www.kpg-industrial.com/products/vmp_naphtha/ http://www.kpg-industrial.com/products/urethane_reducer_brush_roll/ http://www.kpg-industrial.com/products/toluene/ http://www.kpg-industrial.com/products/mineral_spirits/ http://www.KPG-Industrial.comIndustrial.com
