Does anybody know what is the VOC content for grout? By grout I mean the "paste" that goes betwenn two ceramic tiles, like the one in a restroom. Would it be the same as the ceramic tile adhesive or is there any specific requirement for a grout? Thank you very much.

Thank you Emily, I just saw it (architectural sealant and has to be a 250 g/L limit). What about the Ceramic tile adhesive? In a project we are working on they want to use a mixture of cement, sand and water, instead of an actual adhesive. I consider this mixture excempt from VOC requirements since concrete is a mineral and it has no VOC (the cement will have no additive added). Would you agree?? Thyank you Emily.
