NC-2009 IEQc4.1: Low-Emitting Materials—Adhesives and Sealants
Our masonry contractor submitted VOC documentation on Wire-Bond Aqua Flash Mastic with a VOC content of 270 g/L. I am first not sure if this needs to be submitted for IEQc4.1 or not. It is on the exterior of the masonry, so outside of the building, but between the masonry and the air barrier.
Second, if it does apply, I am not sure what to categorize this under. Thanks!

Do products applied to the weather barrier need to comply with VOC thresholds?
How do I determine what application my product falls under?
How is VOC % less water determined for aerosol adhesives?
Do grout and caulking need to be included, and if so, what is the application category?

Chris – Your instincts are correct. Because the flashing mastic lies outside the building’s weatherproofing system, IEQc4.1 does not apply.
