1.1These test methods cover the testing of ethylcellulose.

1.2The test procedures appear in the following order:

	Sections
Moisture	4 to 6
Sulfated Ash	7 to 11
Chlorides (as Sodium Chloride)	12 to 16
Ethoxyl Content	20 to 24
Viscosity	25 to 39

1.3The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.

1.4Warning—Mercury has been designated by EPA and many state agencies as a hazardous material that can cause central nervous system, kidney and liver damage. Mercury, or its vapor, may be hazardous to health and corrosive to materials. Caution should be taken when handling mercury and mercury-containing products. See the applicable product Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for details and EPA’s website (http://www.epa.gov/mercury/faq.htm) for additional information. Users should be aware that selling mercury or mercury-containing products, or both, in your state may be prohibited by state law.

1.5This 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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.6This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
