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

Wood Cladding adhesives

We are applying wood cladding for the walls. To assign the cladding panels, firstly we apply wood framing to the walls then fasten the panels to them. I want to know the classification of primer and paint used for wood framing. Also, the classification of Adhesive used for cladding panels.

The product seems to be a “Panel Adhesive”. Indoor Environmental Quality Credit 4.1 defines categories of adhesives based on Rule 1168 of the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). By this definition, a “Panel Adhesive” is “an adhesive used for the installation of plywood…and similar pre-decorated or non-decorated panels to studs [framing] or solid surfaces.” For Panel Adhesives, the VOC Content must not exceed 50 grams per liter. For primers and paints, see categories defined under Indoor Environmental Quality Credit 4.2. The VOC limit will depend on whether you are using opaque paints or clear wood finishes.
