British Coating Federation

The British Coatings Federation has estimated that if it was necessary to reformulate the resin that binds an aircraft topcoat to the primer because of the withdrawal of one ingredient under REACH, the effort required for substitution would be ... 

The effect of the UK legislation on solvent emissions on manufacture of coatings is discussed. Two choices are available for volatile organic compound emission control, i.e. either to maintain the total of all captured emissions plus uncaptured emissions below a specified percentage of the input solvents, or to maintain just the captured emissions below a specified percentage of the input solvents and to meet a specified concentration emission limit on all captured emissions. The use of a mass balance for compliance demonstration is described, together with the approach used by the British Coatings Federation (as published in The VOC Workbook).
