Definition of low-emissive coating materials

The Jury Umweltzeichen (Environmental Trade Mark), which, since 1999, rewards certain products with the environmental trade mark goes even further For flat, plain materials (e.g., interior doors, panels, floors with varnished surfaces, pre-fabricated parquet) the coating systems applied must not exceed the VOC content = max. 250 g/1. [Pg.1205]

Varnishing plants are exempt if they employ waste gas purification facilities corresponding to the EU VOC Guideline. [Pg.1205]

The draft of the Varnishing Plant Regulation follows the US method according to ASTM D 3960-121 in determining the VOC content. [Pg.1205]

ASTM D 3960-1 is the method used in the US to determine the VOC content of coating materials. The VOC value is calculated as follows [Pg.1205]

For varnishes exclusively containing solvents, this formula results in high values. This calculation is, however, of dubious value for water-containing varnishes. The unit g/1 does [Pg.1205]
