First Report of Progress on Development of Test Method for Estimating Solvent Power and Aromatic and Naphthenic Content of Thinners Used in Navy Aeronautical Finishes

Abstract

Petroleum thinners of the AN-VV-N-96 Type I contain primarily three classes of hydrocarbons; aromatics, napthenes, and paraffins. Data are presented on the specific gravity, refractive index, mixed aniline point and solvent power (as determined by the kauri butanol method) for mixtures of other hydrocarbon classes of the appropriate boiling range. From these data, in conjunction with the given specifications, it is possible to establish minimum requirements for the aromatic-free portion of the thinner. Two commercial thinners have been checked against these requirements. The estimation of the various hydrocarbon components in the thinner is facilitated by graphs.
