Industrial Chemical Standards


ASTM's industrial chemical standards are instrumental in the testing and evaluation of the physical and chemical properties of substances used or produced primarily in industrial applications, particularly in automotives. These chemicals, both organic and inorganic, are manufactured and employed for a variety of consumer goods including engine coolants, rubbers and plastics, and petroleum. These industrial chemical standards allow chemical industrial plants, material processing companies, product manufacturers, and other producers and users of such chemicals in their proper fabrication and treatment processes to ensure quality towards safe production and utilization.
