coating is applied by dipping the component into a coating

bath and an electrical potential difference exists between

the component and the bath.

areas, and the storage or and disposal of solvent

- containing cloth or

paper used for surface preparation and cleanup. Containers shall be non

- absorbent.

- containing materials that have a

VOC content of more than 200 grams per liter (1.67 lbs./gal)

of material for substrate surface preparation prior to

c oating. This limit shall not apply to surface preparation

material applied from a hand

- held spray container or other

closed container approved by the APCO. The VOC limit for

. : Coating VOC content shall be determined using

EPA Method 24. The exempt organic compound content of

coatings or solvents shall be determined using ASTM Method

D4457

- 85. Compliance with the prohibition of sale shall be

determined by measuring the VOC content of each and every

component of a coating or coating system which has been

reduced, using the manufacturer's recommended type and

maximum amount of reducer.

E.2 Acid Content : The measurement of acid content of pretreatment

wash primers shall be done in accordance with ASTM Method D

1613

- 85 (modified).

E.3 Meta l And Silicon Content : The measurement of the metal and

silicon content of metallic/iridescent coatings shall be

determined by South Coast AQMD Method No. 318, "Determination

of Weight Percent of Elemental Metal in Coatings by X

- Ray

Diffraction." Formatted: Font: Courier New
