Type A, having an aromatics content below 25 % (v/v);
Type B, having an aromatics content of 25 % to 50 % (v/v).
These materials meet the requirements of the Highly Flammable Liquids and Liquefied Petroleum Gases Regulations 1972 as not constituting ‘highly flammable liquids’.
Types A and B solvents based on two ranges of aromatic content. Methods for colour and viscosity reduction power are appended and other BS methods referred to.
