The identification, measurement, and reduction of volatile organic compounds ( VOCs) has been a key motivator in recent coatings research and development efforts. Analytical methods for determining VOC levels in […]
[…] they form a bridge between organic coatings and inorganic substrates. While most alkoxysilane monomers liberate VOCs in the range of 450–600 g/L, new alkoxysilane oligomers offer even better adhesion properties […]
[…] materials will decrease and air quality will improve. As regulations have lowered limits of allowed VOCs, a significant problem with enforceability of these regulations has developed since reliable methods for […]
Forty-five paint samples having volatile organic content ( VOCs) ranging from 7 to 562 g/L were prepared and tested for VOC according to EPA Method 24. In addition, all individual […]
[…] everyday life, producing great environmental and health benefits. The prevalence of volatile organic compounds ( VOCs) in coatings has been greatly reduced, from 700 g/L in the 1940s to ~ […]

The current standard for determination of volatile organic compounds ( VOCs) in paint and coating systems in the United States is EPA Method 24 (ASTM D 3960-02). It has been […]
California’s Sacramento Metro Air Quality Management District (SMAQMD) is conducting a public workshop on April 18 to discuss proposed changes to Rule 442 (Architectural Coatings). The proposed changes to Rules 442 would add a contingency measure that, if triggered, would automatically establish more stringent requirements for Architectural and Industrial Maintenance (AIM) coatings that are consistent with CARB’s 2019 AIM Suggested Control Measure.
[…] development and reformulation efforts is the drive to lower levels of volatile organic compounds ( VOCs), often to meet increasingly strict regulations and specifications. Pushing VOCs to lower levels and […]
