I have had someone submit Midwest Fasteners IHA-170 Insulation Anchor Adhesive to me. It has a VOC content of 405g/L, which is high. What category does this type of adhesive fall under? I'm pretty sure this is non-compliant...
This is the description from the product website:
Anchor Adhesive is a high strength, heavy-bodied adhesive, specifically formulated for adhering anchors for hanging insulation. Anchor Adhesive bonds metal and nylon anchors to metal, concrete or masonry surfaces. Can also be used to install metal or ceramic wall fixtures in tile applications. Anchor Adhesive is also recommended for use as a general-purpose construction adhesive in applications requiring a high strength bond, or in applications subjected to high temperatures.
Thanks!

I would suggest that you would look at #1168 SPECIAL PURPOSE CONTACT ADHESIVE is a contact adhesive that is used to bond all of the following substrates to any surface: melamine covered board, metal, unsupported vinyl, Teflon, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, rubber and wood veneer 1/16 inch or less in thickness. The VOC limit is 250 g/l, so the trade will need to re-submit.
