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

Wall covering adhesive

Apologies if I've missed a post but is the VOC threshold for wall covering adhesives 50 g/L or 70 g/L? Or something else? Thanks.

HI Bruce-Do you have the product name and mfr information? My suggestion would be to call them to understand how they classify their product (my guess would be it's a contact adhesive). They may also have LEED-ready language for that purpose. SCAQMD Rule 1168 may also have a breakdown of product types. That's always my go-to spot for complete details--the horse's mouth, so to speak.

Hi Bruce, I would lean toward the 50 g/l limit. Although it is not explicit, SCAQMD 1168 defines 'Panel Adhesives' as "an adhesive used for the installation of plywood, pre-decorated hardboard (or tileboard), fiberglass reinforced plastic, and similar pre-decorated or non-decorated panels to studs or solid surfaces."
