About This Item
ASTM D494 is the ASTM standard for the Standard Test Method for Acetone Extraction of Phenolic Molded or Laminated Products. It provides a technical basis for assessing acetone extraction in phenolic molded or laminated materials, helping users compare products and evaluate consistency using a recognized test method. For procurement, quality control, and product verification, ASTM D494 supports more uniform communication between buyers, suppliers, and laboratories.
What is ASTM D494?
This standard defines a test method focused on acetone extraction for phenolic molded or laminated products. In practical terms, it gives a common approach for examining how these materials respond to acetone under specified testing conditions. ASTM D494 is useful when a clear, repeatable method is needed to support technical review, material comparison, or acceptance decisions. As an ASTM standard, it helps create consistency in testing language and results across different organizations and laboratory settings.
Where is ASTM D494 used?
ASTM D494 is commonly used in laboratories, quality control departments, and materials evaluation workflows where phenolic molded or laminated products are tested. It is relevant anywhere these products are inspected against a defined acetone extraction procedure, such as during incoming material review, production checking, or specification verification. The standard is especially useful when a buyer or supplier needs a shared test method for technical documentation, routine assessment, or compliance-related testing of phenolic materials.
Why is ASTM D494 important?
This standard matters because it helps reduce variation in how acetone extraction is measured for phenolic molded or laminated products. Using ASTM D494 can improve consistency in test results, support product comparison, and strengthen quality control decisions. It also helps organizations communicate requirements more clearly during purchasing, qualification, or dispute review. For teams responsible for material performance and compliance, a recognized test method adds structure and confidence to the evaluation process.
