The most common is the chemical classification of solvents, according to which all solvents are divided into inorganic and organic.<\/p>\n
In addition, solvents may be classified differently in different countries, depending on national legislation and standards. Therefore, before using any chemicals, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the national classification and requirements for health and environmental protection.<\/p>\n
In the USA, chemicals are classified using the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) classification system. Classification of solvents in the US is based on their physical and chemical properties, such as flash point, toxicity, fire hazard, and others.<\/p>\n
The classification of numerical solvents was first proposed in the USA at the beginning of the 20th century. At that time, solvents began to be used more and more in industry, but it was difficult to understand their composition and properties.<\/p>\n
In 1927, the American Chemical Society (ACS) introduced a system for classifying solvents based on their composition and properties. This system was called the “number system of solvents” and became the standard for many countries around the world.<\/p>\n
In this system, solvents were assigned numbers from 1 to 8 depending on their chemical composition and properties. For example, solvent 1 is acetone, and solvent 2 is ethyl ether.<\/p>\n
Later, another class of solvents was added – class 9, which contained solvents that did not fit into any of the other classes.<\/p>\n
In the EU, chemical substances and materials are classified according to the CLP (Classification, Labeling, Packaging) standards. This system includes the classification of chemicals according to their physical and chemical properties and effects on human health and the environment. In the classification of solvents in the EU, parameters such as toxicity, corrosion, fire hazard, explosion hazard and others are used.<\/p>\n
In general, the solvent classification system in Europe differs from the American numbering system and is specifically designed for use in Europe.<\/p>\n
