Good afternoon. I'm stumped as usual. There seem to be no categories in 1113 or the ARB SCM which addresses the EIFS cementitous finishes. Sto has published a chart that identifes the VOC content of their EIFS products, including finish coats. Can someone provide some direction for this category? Thanks in advance.

Bruce, you posted several questions here that you haven't had help on. Sorry! AAre you still looking for answers on these, or have you moved on?

Good morning, Tristan. Hope you had a satisfying Thanksgiving. There's always enough on the table to fill a vegetarian's stomach like myself! For those interested in the sealants issue, the single component polyurethanes seem not to be much of an issue whereas the multi-component polyurethanes are problematic. Silicone sealants pose no problems. Polyurethane adhesives, such as those used by Nora, don't pose a problem. In respect to IEQ 4 - Group 5, it would be nice if manufacturers just didn't claim compliance but specifically identified which SCAQMD or ARB SCM category was being referenced.
