FAQs about IEQc4.1 :

Is there a shortcut to the VOC budget method if you have just one product that is used minimally on a project?

Do products applied to the weather barrier need to comply with VOC thresholds?

How do I determine what application my product falls under?

How is VOC % less water determined for aerosol adhesives?

Do grout and caulking need to be included, and if so, what is the application category?

Our project didn't use some common adhesive types, and our LEED reviewer asked about this. Are we supposed to justify not using certain adhesives in our documentation?

CS-2009 IEQc4.1:Low-Emitting Materials—Adhesives and Sealants

Adhesive for raised floors

I have a problem with qualifying an adhesive for raised floors systems and finding the appropriate VOC limit. The adhesive is used to stabilize pedestals to concrete slab. Can it be Contact Adhesive with 80g/L VOC limit?

Are those pedestals made of metal? If so, I think it could be "special purpose contact adhesive" with limit 250g/L as per SCAQMD Rule 1168 definition: "SPECIAL PURPOSE CONTACT ADHESIVE is a contact adhesive that is used to bond all of the following substrates to any surface: melamine covered board, metal, unsupported vinyl, Teflon, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, rubber and wood veneer 1/16 inch or less in thickness." Can anyone confirm please? Petr

Yes, pedestals are made of metal. Thank you for your advice, sounds appropriate.
