Section Env-A 1220.02 - Compliance Standards for Miscellaneous Industrial Adhesives

(a) Except as provided in (d) or (e), below, and Env-A 1220.03, those processes using general or specialty adhesive applications or adhesive primer applications shall control VOC emissions by using adhesives that meet the limits specified in Table 1220-1, below, subject to (b) and (c), below:

Table 1220-1 VOC Content Limits for Adhesive and Adhesive Primer Application Processes

Adhesive Primer	-
Motor vehicle glass bonding primer	900	7.5
Plastic solvent welding adhesive primer	650	5.4
Single-ply roof membrane adhesive primer	250	2.1
Other adhesive primer	250	2.1

(b) "VOC emission limit" means the mass of VOC per volume of adhesive or adhesive primer, excluding water and exempt compounds, as applied.

(c) If an adhesive is used to bond dissimilar substrates together, then the applicable substrate category with the least stringent VOC emission limit shall be the limit for such application.

(d) To meet the limits in Table 1220-1, above, a source may combine low-VOC content adhesives, the application methods specified in Env-A 1220.04, and add-on control equipment.

(e) As an alternative to the VOC emission limits Table 1220-1, above, a source shall achieve an overall control efficiency of at least 85%.
