G D .1 Calculation of VOC Content: for the purpose of determining compliance

with the VOC content limits in Table 424

- 1 and Table 424

m ) of a tint base shall be determined without colorant that is added after the

tint base is manufactured. If the manufacturer does not recommend thinning , the VOC C ontent must be calculated for the prod uct as supplied. If the manufacturer recommends thinning, the VOC Content must be

calculated including the maximum amount of thinning solvent recommended by the manufacturer. If the coating is a multi

- component product, the VOC content must be calculated as mixed or catalyzed. If the coating contains silanes, siloxanes, or other ingredients that generate ethanol or other VOCs during the curing process, the VOC content must include the VOCs emitted during curing.

D.2 Calculation for the determination of VOC content per volume of coating:

D.2.a With the exception of low solids coatings, determine the VOC content in grams of VOC per liter of coating thinned to the

manufacturer = s maximum recommendation, excluding the volume of any water and exempt compound s. Determine the VOC content using equation 1 as follows:

To determine the VOC content of a coating, the manufacturer may use U.S. EPA Method 24, or an alterna tive method as provided in sub section G .3 D.4 , formulation data, or any other reasonable means for predicting that the coating has been formulated as intended (e.g., quality assurance checks, record keeping). However, if there are any inconsistencies between the results of a Method 24 test and any other means for determining VOC content, the Method 24 test results will govern, except when an alternative method is approved as specified in

sub section G .3 D.4 . The District Air Pollution Control Officer (APCO) may require the manufacturer to conduct a Method 24 analysis.
