NC-2009 IEQc4.1: Low-Emitting Materials—Adhesives and Sealants
Dear all,
could anyone please help me define the type of the following material - Rust oleum Magnetic primer which is used to create magnetic surface at the wall. It has a VOC level of 420 g/l.
I have absolutely no idea on how to identify it..Thanks a lot in advance.

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?

Anastasia, I haven't come across this one exactly but if you look through this forum you'll see some examples of nonstandard coatings being puzzled through. How will the wall be used? Perhaps it could be called a graphic arts coating.

Thank you very much for your assistance!
The wall will be used as a notice board in meeting rooms.
Well, I thought of graphic arts coatings category as well, but i'm not sure about it. I think it could also be considered as a metallic pigmented coating, but the problem with that is that according to the rule 1113 there must be elemental metallic pigment, and our primer has steel in it, not elemental metal. There are several categories that seem to be appropriate but there is always a little mismatch with each of them..
I'll try to look through this forum more accurately, thank you!

In January 2006, SCAQMD issued an advisory addressing Dry‐Erase Coatings, Chalkboard Coatings, and Magnetic Board Coatings and other coatings not addressed in the SCAQMD-1113 Table of Standards. They reissued the advisory in July 2011 reasserting the original interpretation:
Section (c)(3)(A) of SCAQMD-1113 “explains that if any sticker or label affixed on the container of the coating, any sales or advertising literature, or any representation is made that the coating may be used as, or is suitable for use as, a coating that is listed in the Table of Standards with a lower VOC limit than the default category [250 g/L, per Section (c)(1)], then the lowest VOC standard shall apply.”
Therefore, since this product’s label says it is a primer, I would use the primer/sealer/undercoater category with a VOC limit of 200 g/L.
See the IEQc4.2 forum for more information.
