NC-v4 EQc2: Low emitting materials
Do the General Emissions criteria for Paints and Coatings apply to intumescent flame retardants for structural elements? We've had difficulty finding products that meet (or report) compliance. Thanks in advance.

Do products applied to the weather barrier need to comply with VOC thresholds?
If one part of my multicomponent wall system is not compliant, can I still get full credit?

My interpretation is that there is no exemptions to the interior applied products VOC requirements. A question regarding anti-corrosion paint was brought up earlier and the answer was no, it must also comply. Intumescent paint would be in the same category as anti-corrosion paint with regards to structural members and therefore I would draw the conclusion that it also must comply.

Michael, Were you able to find a product which met the requirements? I am now looking for the same and am not finding a product with CDPH testing. I'd like to hear what you were able to use. Thanks.
