We are begin fixing the writing specifications of sales spec.
We are begin running a fixing program to integrate the Sales spec. of pine chemical substances. In this program, we will delete the Physical spec. of Extracted & Organic Ingredients, such like boiling point, flash point. And will focus on the writing specification on Relative Density (RD), Refractive Index (RI), Specific Rotation (SR), Odor characters. The details of writing specification pleased to see the following Table 1.
Table 1. The writing specifications of sales spec. by Foreverest Resources Ltd.

#1 The relative density d204 denotes the ratio of the mass of the substance in air at 20°C to that of an equal volume of water at 4°C. As the relative density of water at 20°C is 0.998234, these values are related by the following equation: d204 = 0.998234 d2020. (Reference: The International Pharmacopoeia, Volume 1)
#2 [α]λt=α/lc. I. α=observed rotation in degrees. II. l = cell path length in decimeters. (1 decimeter = 1 dm = 10 cm. A standard polarimeter tube is 1.00 dm in length.) III. c = concentration in g ml-1 for a pure liquid compound (i.e., the liquid’s density), or g 100 ml-1 for a solution.
TDS will update after this fixing program.
