How should graphic arts paint or coatings be categorized?

The standards referenced for this credit have been updated since those listed in the LEED Reference Guide – does our project need to follow the latest SCAQMD Rules and Green Seal editions, or the ones listed in the reference guide?

How should handheld aerosol spray paints be handled?

What are the VOC limits for primers? They seem to be listed in both GS-11 and SCAQMD Rule 1113.

CI-2009 IEQc4.2:Low-Emitting Materials—Paints and Coatings

"Solvent-free" = 0 VOC ?

Hi all! The datasheet or manufacuturer advertisement sometimes say that the product is "slovent-free". As paints generally have to solved to be liquid, I guess "solvent-free" in this context means that the solvent is water. Am I right?

Marco, it sounds like solvent-free means waterborne. I wouldn't assume that it is 0 VOC, however.
