NC-2009 IEQc4.1: Low-Emitting Materials—Adhesives and Sealants
Dear experts, we are purchasing the PVC floor adhesive, but i'm not sure which category is more suitable for this kind of adhesive in leedonline form, we considered "Rubber Flooring Adhesives" but i PVC is actually belong to plastic not rubber at all, should i select "Other Sealant" as baseline for this item?

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?

There is no special category for this adhesive, it is flooring adhesive and the limit is 50 g/L. Is the flooring unusual and that is leading you to thinking the VOC limit would be higher?

Thank you Susan, I'm sure worrying about the circumstance like you said, if there is no special category for this adhesive, then how can I execute this comparison with baseline through leedonline form even I have the adhesive with <50 g/L? Should I choice on casual one category has 50 g/L as baseline or treat it through Special Circumstances?
