Executive Summary FINAL 2005 ARB Architectural Coatings Survey 

California Air Resources Board ES-1 Dec - 07 

Executive Summary 

1. Introduction 

This report presents results from the 2005 Architectural Coatings Survey conducted by 

the California Air Resources Board (ARB or Board) for coatings sold in California 

during 2004. This is the eighth survey of this type conducted by the ARB for the purpose 

of estimating emissions from architectural coatings 

Architectural coatings do not include aerosol coating products. 

Historically, the ARB has conducted architectural coating surveys every four or five 

years. Previous surveys were conducted in 1976, 1981, 1985, 1989, 1993, 1998, and 

2001. The information collected in the surveys is used to help the ARB and local air 

pollution control districts (APCDs) or air quality management districts (AQMDs) track 

the volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from architectural coatings. The 

surveys are also used in the development of regulations or rules to reduce the VOC 

emissions from these products. 

The local districts have the primary responsibility for control of air pollution from 

stationary sources, including the application of architectural coatings. The local districts 

develop, adopt, and enforce rules and regulations under their jurisdiction to achieve and 

maintain the state and federal ambient air quality standards. The local districts have 

regulated architectural coatings in California since the 1970s. 

The ARB’s role over the years has been to provide technical assistance to the districts in 

the form of industry surveys and research. To track the emission contributions of 

architectural coatings, an inventory was created that is based on the surveys. The ARB 

has also provided regulatory and policy guidance through the development of a suggested 

control measure (SCM) for architectural coatings that was first adopted in 1977, and was 

amended in 1985, 1989, and 2000. 

2. Companies 

In April 2005, the ARB mailed survey questionnaires to almost 900 companies that 

potentially sold architectural coating products in California in 2004. Almost half of these 

companies responded but did not submit data, primarily for the following reasons: they did 

not have any sales of architectural coatings in California during 2004; they did not 

manufacture architectural coatings; or their sales were being reported by another company. 

Approximately 30% of the companies surveyed did not respond at all. A total of 197

companies submitted data, including companies that sent in surveys for multiple divisions 

or subsidiaries. This represents an increase when compared to the previous five ARB 

surveys (conducted in 2001, 1998, 1993, 1989, 1985), that had an average of 156 

companies responding with data. ARB is confident that the survey response accurately 

represents the 2004 sales volume in California, based on comparisons between the survey 

data and manufacturing data compiled by the U.S. Census Bureau. 
Executive Summary FINAL 2005 ARB Architectural Coatings Survey 

California Air Resources Board Dec - 07 ES-2

Chapter 2 contains information about the companies that submitted data. Most of the sales 

volume reported in the survey was reported by a small number of companies. The top ten 

companies accounted for 81% of the total reported sales volume, while the remaining 187 

companies accounted for 19% of the sales volume. More than half of the companies that 

provided data could be considered to be small businesses, because they have less than 250 

employees. In addition, more than half of the companies were marketing their products on 

a national or international basis, rather than being specific to California or marketing to a 

regional area. 

3. Sales 

The 2005 survey requested 2004 California sales information for 52 coating categories. 

Table E-1 lists the total sales for coating categories, as well as subtotals for solvent-borne 

and water-borne sales in each category. In addition, the table contains a percentage 

breakdown for recommended exposure (i.e., interior, exterior, or dual exposure). 

Based on survey data, about 110 million gallons of architectural coatings were sold in 

California during 2004, with 88% of that volume coming from water-borne products and 

12% from solvent-borne products. Most of the reported sales volume was limited to a 

small number of categories, with the top five categories accounting for more than 70% of 

the total sales volume. These top five categories are: Flat; Nonflat – Medium Gloss; 

Nonflat – Low Gloss; Primer, Sealer, and Undercoater; and Traffic Marking. Most 

products (97%) were sold in large containers (larger than one quart). More detailed 

information on sales data is presented in Chapter 3. 

A copy of the survey questionnaire is available in the Appendix. Some manufacturers 

considered the data provided in the 2004 Architectural Coatings Survey to be trade secret 

and confidential. To address this concern, but still allow the publishing of survey results, 

the ARB implemented the historical practice of concealing all sales data values that did not 

represent at least three companies, otherwise known as the “Three Company Rule.” 

Throughout this report the term “Protected Data” (or PD) is used to reflect that compliance 

with the “Three Company Rule” could not be satisfied and the data were concealed to 

protect company confidentiality.

4. VOC Content 

The survey collected information on VOC content, including both VOC Actual and VOC 

Regulatory. VOC Actual, also known as Material VOC, is the weight of VOCs divided by 

the total volume of coating. VOC Actual is usually expressed in units of grams/liter (g/l) 

and it is the value that is used to calculate VOC emissions. 

VOC Regulatory is the term that is used for regulatory purposes to establish VOC content 

limits. VOC Regulatory, also known as Coating VOC, is the weight of VOCs divided by 

the volume of coating, less the volume of water and exempt compounds. 

Table E-2 provides sales-weighted average (SWA) VOC content values for the top five 

coating categories, based on sales volume. For these categories, the majority of the 

reported sales volume contains less than 5% VOCs by weight. Chapter 4 of this report 

contains summaries of sales-weighted average VOC values. It also contains charts of sales 

volume vs. VOC Regulatory and sales volume vs. weight percent VOC. Chapter 8 

contains tables that provide SWA weight percent VOC data for each category.

5. VOC Emissions 

In 2004, VOC emissions from architectural coatings were approximately 34,600 tons per 

year or almost 95 tons per day as an annual average, not including emissions from thinning, 

additives, and equipment cleanup. Water-borne products generated 48% of these 

emissions, while the solvent-borne products generated 52%. Survey data were also used to 

estimate VOC emissions from the following associated activities: 

(1) Using solvent for thinning solvent-borne coatings; 

(2) Using solvent for equipment cleanup after the use of solvent-borne and 

water-borne coatings; and 

(3) Using additives to enhance the performance of water-borne coatings. 

ARB estimates that these three associated activities generate more than 20 tons per day of 

VOC emissions. Total estimated average annual emissions are more than 115 tons per day 

(almost 95 tons per day from coatings only and more than 20 tons per day from 

thinning/cleanup/additives). Most of the reported emissions are generated by a small 

number of categories, with the top five categories accounting for 50% of the total emissions 

quantity. The top five categories for VOC emissions are: Flat; Nonflat – Medium Gloss; 

Rust Preventative; Nonflat – Low Gloss; and Primer, Sealer, and Undercoater.

6. Complying Marketshares 

Complying marketshare is the percentage of sales volume that is less than or equal to an 

established VOC limit. ARB staff compared the reported VOC Regulatory values with 

VOC limits to determine the complying marketshares for each coating category. Chapter 6 

contains complying marketshares based on VOC limits in ARB’s 2000 SCM. It also 

contains complying marketshares based on the South Coast Air Quality Management 

District’s (SCAQMD) future VOC limits that are scheduled to take effect in or before 

2008. 

Overall, 92% of the sales volume complied with VOC limits in the 2000 SCM, 

excluding small containers, and 19% of the sales volume complied with VOC limits in 

SCAQMD Rule 1113. These percentages do not include the sales of small containers 

(i.e., one quart or less), because the SCM contains an exemption from VOC limits for 

small containers. SCAQMD Rule 1113 also contained a general small container 

exemption in 2004. Table E-4 contains complying marketshares for the top five 

categories, based on sales volume, excluding small containers.

7. Sales Volume Versus VOC Content 

Chapter 7 of this report contains charts that plot percent of total sales volume against VOC 

Regulatory. These charts illustrate the percent of sales that is at or below the 2000 SCM 

VOC limit for each coating category. 

8. Volume Percents and Weight Percents 

The survey collected information on volume percents and weight percents of coating 

components (solids, water, exempt compounds), including all of the parameters that are 

used when calculating VOC Actual and VOC Regulatory. These data made it possible to 

verify reported VOC content values. Chapter 8 of this report contains summaries of salesweighted average values for volume percents, weight percents, and coating densities. 

9. Substrate and Resin 

The survey also gathered data on the types of substrates that were recommended for a 

particular product. In addition to substrate information, the survey collected data on resin 

types and number of components (i.e., single-component or multi-component) for all of the 

coating categories. Chapter 9 of this report contains summaries of substrate, resin, and 

component information. For the top five categories, based on sales volume, the most 

prevalent resins included the following, sorted alphabetically: Acrylic, Alkyd, Polyvinyl 

Acetate, and Vinyl Acrylic. 

10. Ingredients 

The survey gathered speciation data for all volatile ingredients (VOCs, exempt compounds, 

and water). Data were collected for all volatile ingredients that amounted to at least 0.1% 

(by weight) of each coating. Speciated data were not collected for the solids portion of the 

coatings. Table E-5 lists the top ten VOC ingredients in architectural coatings. Chapter 10 

of this report provides more detailed ingredient data, including ingredient listings for 

each category.

11. Survey Comparisons 

Chapter 11 of this report provides comparisons of data from ARB’s 2001 survey (2000 

sales) with the 2005 survey (2004 sales). Overall, the percent change in sales volume 

from 2000 to 2004 represents an annual growth rate of approximately 3%. This increase 

appears to be consistent with industry reports of sales growth for architectural coatings 

nationwide. Chapter 11 includes summary data for each category and provides a 

historical comparison for all of the architectural coatings surveys conducted by ARB 

since 1975. From 1975 to 2004, the sales volume increased 129%, but VOC emissions 

declined 16% because the VOC content of coatings decreased significantly. 

12. Averaging Program 

The 2000 SCM contains a voluntary compliance option referred to as the averaging 

provision. This provision was intended to provide additional flexibility to the regulated 

industry, by allowing manufacturers to average emissions from higher-VOC products 

with emissions from low-VOC products. During 2003 and 2004, ARB staff managed the 

statewide averaging program for the eighteen local air districts that adopted rules based 

on the SCM, at that time. The averaging program in these rules ended on 

January 1, 2005. 

In 2001, the SCAQMD began managing their own averaging program under their 

Architectural Coating Rule 1113. The averaging programs managed by the SCAQMD 

and the ARB were very similar, with one major exception - the SCAQMD averaging 

program is still in effect because it has no sunset date (i.e., expiration date). 

Chapter 12 of this report provides an analysis of the survey data for products that were 

included in an architectural coating averaging program during 2004. For two categories 

(Quick Dry Enamel and Quick Dry Primer, Sealer, and Undercoater), more than half of 

the reported sales volume consisted of high-VOC products that exceeded VOC limits and 

were included in an averaging program. For the remaining categories, less than 10% of 

the sales volume consisted of high-VOC products in an averaging program.
Chapter 1 FINAL 2005 ARB Architectural Coatings Survey 

California Air Resources Board 1-1 Dec - 07 

Chapter 1 -- Introduction and Background 

This report presents results from the 2005 Architectural Coatings Survey conducted by 

the California Air Resources Board (ARB or Board) for coatings sold in California 

during 2004. This is the eighth survey of this type conducted by the ARB for the purpose 

of estimating emissions from architectural coatings. For purposes of this survey, 

architectural coatings are defined as follows: 

“Architectural Coating: A coating to be applied to stationary structures or their 

appurtenances at the site of installation, to portable buildings at the site of 

installation, to pavements, or to curbs. Coatings applied in shop applications or to 

non-stationary structures such as airplanes, ships, boats, railcars, and automobiles, 

and adhesives are not considered architectural coatings.” 

Architectural coatings do not include aerosol coating products. 

Historically, the ARB has conducted architectural coating surveys every four or five 

years. Previous surveys were conducted in 1976, 1981, 1985, 1989, 1993, 1998, and 

2001. The information collected in the surveys is used to help the ARB and local air 

pollution control districts (APCDs) or air quality management districts (AQMDs) track 

the volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from architectural coatings. The 

surveys are also used in the development of regulations or rules to reduce the VOC 

emissions from these products. 

The local districts have the primary responsibility for control of air pollution from 

stationary sources, such as the application of coatings. The local districts develop, adopt, 

and enforce rules and regulations under their jurisdiction to achieve and maintain the 

state and federal ambient air quality standards. The local districts have regulated 

architectural coatings in California since the 1970s. 

The ARB’s role over the years has been to provide technical assistance to the districts in 

the form of industry surveys and research. To track the emission contributions of 

architectural coatings, an inventory was created that is based on the surveys. The ARB 

has also provided regulatory and policy guidance through the development of a suggested 

control measure (SCM) for architectural coatings that was first adopted in 1977, and was 

amended in 1985, 1989, and 2000. In October 2007, the Board approved an updated 

version of the SCM. 
Chapter 1 – Introduction & Background FINAL 2005 ARB Architectural Coatings Survey 

California Air Resources Board Dec - 07 1-2

The 2005 Architectural Coatings Survey 

In April 2005, ARB staff began conducting a survey to collect data for architectural 

coatings that were sold in California during calendar year 2004. The survey included 

coating manufacturers, distributors, importers, and retailers. Chapter 2 contains 

information about the companies that submitted data. 

The 2005 Architectural Coatings survey requested 2004 California sales information for 52 

coating categories. For each of the coating categories, the survey collected the following 

information: 

• sales in gallons, broken down by sales in small containers (sizes of 1 quart or less) 

and large containers (greater than 1 quart); 

• substrate description; 

• type of application (interior/exterior/dual); 

• vehicle technology (solvent-borne or water-borne); 

• resin type; 

• component description (single- or multi-component); 

• coating density; 

• weight percent for solids, volatiles, water, and exempt compounds; 

• volume percent for solids, water, and exempt compounds; 

• VOC content; 

• method for VOC determination (U.S. EPA Method 24 or formulation data); and 

• volatile ingredients. 

A copy of the survey questionnaire is available in the Appendix. Some manufacturers 

considered the data provided in the survey to be trade secret and confidential. To address 

this concern, but still allow the publishing of survey results, the ARB implemented the 

historical practice of concealing all sales data values that did not represent at least three 

companies, otherwise known as the “Three Company Rule.” In addition, this report 

contains summarized survey data, rather than lists of individual survey responses to further 

protect confidentiality. Every effort was made to reveal as much of the survey data as 

possible without compromising the “Three Company Rule.” However, instances did arise 

where it was necessary to conceal certain portions of the survey results. Throughout this 

report the term “Protected Data” (or PD) is used to reflect that compliance with the “Three 

Company Rule” could not be satisfied and the data were concealed to protect company 

confidentiality. 

Based on survey data, about 110 million gallons of architectural coatings were sold in 

California during 2004, with 88% of that volume coming from water-borne products and 

12% from solvent-borne products. VOC emissions from these coatings are approximately 

34,600 tons per year or almost 95 tons per day as an annual average, not including 

emissions from thinning, additives, and equipment cleanup. Water-borne products generate 

48% of these emissions, while the solvent-borne products generate 52%. Survey data were 

also used to estimate VOC emissions from the following associated activities: 

(1) Using solvent for thinning solvent-borne coatings; 
Chapter 1 – Introduction & Background FINAL 2005 ARB Architectural Coatings Survey 

California Air Resources Board Dec - 07 1-3

(2) Using solvent for equipment cleanup after the use of solvent-borne and 

water-borne coatings; and 

(3) Using additives to enhance the performance of water-borne coatings. 

ARB estimates that these three associated activities generate more than 20 tons per day of 

VOC emissions. Total estimated average annual emissions are more than 115 tons per day 

(almost 95 tons per day from coatings only and more than 20 tons per day from 

thinning/cleanup/additives). More detailed information on sales and emissions data is 

presented in Chapters 3 and 5, respectively. 

Information on VOC content was also collected for all 52 coating categories. Chapter 4 

contains summaries of VOC content data that were determined by calculating 

sales-weighted averages for VOC Actual and VOC Regulatory. Chapter 4 also contains 

charts of sales plotted against VOC content. VOC Actual, also known as Material VOC, is 

the weight of VOCs divided by the total volume of coating. VOC Actual is usually 

expressed in units of grams/liter and it is the value that is used to calculate VOC emissions, 

which are presented in Chapter 5. 

VOC Regulatory is the term that is used for regulatory purposes to establish VOC content 

limits. VOC Regulatory, also known as Coating VOC, is the weight of VOCs divided the 

volume of coating, less the volume of water and exempt compounds. The original rationale 

behind the VOC Regulatory value was to provide an equivalent basis for comparing the 

polluting portion of solvent-borne and water-borne coatings. Also, it was believed that the 

VOC Regulatory approach would prohibit coating manufacturers from simply diluting a 

coating with water to meet VOC limits. 

Reported VOC Regulatory values were compared with VOC limits to determine the 

complying marketshares for each coating category. Complying marketshare is the 

percentage of sales volume that is less than or equal to an established VOC limit. 

Chapter 6 contains complying marketshares based on VOC limits in ARB’s 2000 SCM. It 

also contains complying marketshares based on the South Coast Air Quality Management 

District’s (SCAQMD) future VOC limits that are scheduled to take effect in or before 

2008. Chapter 7 contains charts that provide a graphical view of complying marketshares. 

The charts plot percent of total sales volume against VOC Regulatory, which illustrates the 

percent of sales that is at or below the 2000 SCM VOC limit for each coating category. 

ARB’s 2005 survey included the collection of complete volume percent and weight percent 

data for coating components. These data included all of the parameters that are used when 

calculating VOC Actual and VOC Regulatory. Collection of this information allowed 

ARB staff to verify reported VOC content values. Chapter 8 contains sales-weighted 

average values for density, volume percent data, and weight percent data for all survey 

categories. 

The 2005 survey also gathered substrate and resin data. If a coating product was designed 

for a specific substrate(s), survey respondents were asked to list all of the applicable 

substrates. Chapter 9 contains a summary of substrate and resin information. 
Chapter 1 – Introduction & Background FINAL 2005 ARB Architectural Coatings Survey 

California Air Resources Board Dec - 07 1-4

The 2005 Architectural Coatings Survey included the collection of ingredient data for the 

volatile components of the coating (VOCs, exempt compounds, and water). Speciated data 

were not collected for the solids portion of the coatings. Chapter 10 contains more 

information regarding the ingredient data. 

Chapter 11 provides a historical comparison of sales and emissions data, using results 

from all of ARB’s Architectural Coatings Surveys. 

The final chapter, Chapter 12, provides data analyses for coatings that were included in 

averaging programs, managed by ARB and the SCAQMD.

California Air Resources Board 2-1 Dec- 07 

Chapter 2 -- Companies 

The 2005 survey was sent to almost 900 companies that potentially sold architectural 

coating products in California in 2004. In some cases, the mailing list included multiple 

divisions within a parent company. Based on individual responses, more than one-fourth 

of the companies on the mailing list submitted survey data. ARB staff compiled a 

summary list of these companies by consolidating multiple divisions under the parent 

company name. As shown in Table 2-1, the consolidated list includes a total of 197

companies that submitted data. This represents an increase when compared to the 

previous five ARB surveys (conducted in 2001, 1998, 1993, 1989, 1985), that had an 

average of 156 companies submitting data. The consolidated total of 197 companies 

includes 51 companies that are located in California. Almost one-third of the companies 

on the mailing list responded but did not submit data, primarily for the following reasons: 

they did not have any sales of architectural coatings in California during 2004; they did 

not manufacture architectural coatings; or their sales were to be reported by another 

company. Roughly ten percent of the mailed surveys were undeliverable and almost onethird of the companies surveyed did not respond at all.

Chapter 3 FINAL 2005 ARB Architectural Coatings Survey 

California Air Resources Board 3-1 Dec - 07 

Chapter 3 -- Sales 

Based on survey data, approximately 110 million gallons of architectural coatings were 

sold in California during 2004. To determine the accuracy of these sales figures, we 

consulted the U.S. Census Bureau’s Current Industrial Reports for Paint and Allied 

Products for calendar year 2004. This report includes nationwide data for shipments of 

the following categories: architectural coatings; industrial new construction and 

maintenance paints; and traffic marking paints. Total nationwide shipments in 2004 for 

these three categories were approximately 916 million gallons, which represents more 

than a 25% increase from the 2000 value of 727 million gallons. Since California 

represents 12% of the national population, we assumed that California shipments were 

approximately equal to 12% of the nationwide total for the above-listed categories or 110

million gallons. We then compared the census data to the sales reported in our survey 

and found that our survey total is the same as the estimate based on census data. 

Therefore, we feel confident that the survey captured the California sales information 

adequately. 

The reported sales for the survey include products sold to professional paint contractors 

as well as to homeowners or “do-it-yourselfers”. According to an industry survey, 

professional paint contractors accounted for almost 70% of the architectural coating sales 

in 2000 for the Western United States1

.

Notes: 

1. PD = Protected Data. Fewer than three companies reported sales. If fewer than three companies 

reported sales for either solvent-borne or water-borne, data was protected for both solvent-borne and 

water-borne. 

2. The sales volumes in this table include sales of small containers (1 quart or less). 

3. No sales were reported for the following categories: Antenna; Antifouling; Flow; and Temperature 

Indicator Safety. 

Notes on specific coating categories: 

Recycled: All of the recycled paint was reported for either dual or exterior applications. 

Recycled paint is often marketed for graffiti abatement purposes and it is generally 

formulated to withstand exterior exposures. 

Swimming Pool and Swimming Pool Repair and Maintenance: A significant 

percentage of the swimming pool coatings were designated as being intended for Dual 

(Interior/Exterior) applications, rather than just exterior as would be expected. Some of 

the product literature for swimming pool coatings mentions their application for indoor 

pools. Water-borne coatings are sometimes recommended for indoor pools, but epoxy 

coatings may also be used for indoor pools to provide greater durability. 

Traffic Marking: In the Traffic Marking coatings category, a small percentage of the 

sales volume is intended for Dual (Interior/Exterior) applications, rather than just exterior 

as would be expected. Some traffic coatings are used for interior applications (e.g., for 

marking lines in warehouses) and one manufacturer labels products as interior/exterior 

traffic coatings. 
Chapter 3 - Sales FINAL 2005 ARB Architectural Coatings Survey 

California Air Resources Board Dec - 07 3-4

Provided below are the major clarifications and interpretations that ARB staff used when 

reviewing survey data to determine whether products had been placed in the most 

appropriate category. 

Bituminous Roof, Bituminous Roof Primers, and Roof: Some companies reported 

roofing products that are adhesives, lap cements, repair products, or flashing cements. 

We removed these products from the survey data, because they are adhesives and 

sealants, rather than architectural coatings. These products should be subject to local air 

district rules for adhesives and sealants. 

The definition for the Bituminous Roof includes the term “exclusively for roofing”. 

However, some of the products that were reported as Bituminous Roof coatings could 

also be used on foundations and walls for waterproofing or dampproofing. These 

products were kept in the Bituminous Roof category. 

Floor: Products that were reported as Floor coatings required a good deal of 

recategorization. In general, Floor coatings should be opaque products that include: 

deck, porch, and stair paints; and garage floor coatings. If the coating met the Floor 

definition, but also claimed the resistances for the Waterproofing Concrete/Masonry 

Sealers category, we moved it to Waterproofing Concrete/Masonry Sealers. If the 

coating was clear, but had no resistances specified, then we moved it to Waterproofing 

Sealers. If the coating was clear, but was designed for wood substrates, we moved it to 

Varnishes. If the coating was intended for floors in an industrial environment (e.g., 

chemical plant, food processing plant, etc.), we moved it to Industrial Maintenance. 

Industrial Maintenance: In general, if a coating met a category definition, but the 

coating was primarily intended for use in an industrial setting (e.g., chemical plant, food 

processing plant, refinery, etc.), then we put it in the Industrial Maintenance category. 

This was the case for coatings reported as: Floor; Mastic Texture; Primer, Sealer, and 

Undercoater; Quick Dry Enamel; Quick Dry Primer, Sealer, and Undercoater; Rust 

Preventative; Waterproofing Concrete/Masonry Sealer; and Waterproofing Sealer. 

Some anti-graffiti coatings that were reported as “Other” were put into the Industrial 

Maintenance category. Bituminous pipe and tank coatings were also put into the 

Industrial Maintenance category. If a product was reported as an Industrial Maintenance 

coating, but it met the Metallic Pigmented definition, we moved it to the Metallic 

Pigmented category. 

Low Solids: There were many products that met the Low Solids criteria (1 pound or less 

of solids per gallon), but were reported in other categories. These products were kept in 

their reported categories. 

Metallic Pigmented: As has historically been the case, the Metallic Pigmented category 

consists primarily of aluminum roof coatings, with smaller volumes of decorative 

metallic coatings and zinc-rich primers. 
Chapter 3 - Sales FINAL 2005 ARB Architectural Coatings Survey 

California Air Resources Board Dec - 07 3-5

Primers, Sealers, and Undercoaters: Products that were reported as Primers, Sealers, 

and Undercoaters required a good deal of recategorization. If the coating had stainblocking ability (e.g., for tannins) or any other Specialty PSU characteristics, we moved 

the coating to Specialty PSU. Products that were designed for use in an industrial setting 

were moved to the Industrial Maintenance category. If the coating was a rust inhibitor or 

had rust preventative properties, and was not intended for use in an industrial setting, we 

moved it to the Rust Preventative category. If the coating was a concrete sealer that was 

not topcoated, then we moved it to Waterproofing Sealers, or to Waterproofing 

Concrete/Masonry Sealers if it had the necessary resistances. If the coating was an oil 

finish that penetrated and sealed (e.g., Tung Oil or Teak Oil), then we moved it to 

Stains – Clear/Semitransparent. If it was a wood sealer that was not topcoated, then we 

moved it to Waterproofing Sealers. If the coating was a primer for non-bituminous roof 

coatings, we moved it to Roof Coatings. 

Rust Preventative: Rust Preventative or rust inhibitor coatings used in a non-industrial 

setting (e.g., coatings applied by maintenance personnel), were kept in the Rust 

Preventative category. If the coating had industrial chemical and environmental 

resistances, we moved it to the Industrial Maintenance category. 

Sanding Sealers: Lacquer Sanding Sealers reported as Sanding Sealers were moved to 

Lacquers. 

Stains – Clear/Semitransparent: Some of the reported Stains also provide a 

film-forming protective finish. These products were moved to the Varnish category. Oil 

finishes that penetrate and seal (e.g., Tung Oils or Teak Oils) that were reported as 

Varnishes were moved to Stains – Clear/Semitransparent. 

Traffic Marking: Solid thermoplastic traffic coatings that are melted onto a roadway 

were removed from the survey data. 

Waterproofing Concrete/Masonry Sealers: Waterproofing Concrete/Masonry Sealers 

(WCMS) included coatings used for a wide variety of applications, such as: parking 

garages; bridge decks; exterior walls on houses and tilt-up buildings; non-skid floors; 

basements; floors in commercial, institutional, and retail establishments; foundations and 

walls that need dampproofing; and pool decks. The definition for the WCMS category 

includes the term “film-forming”. Some of the reported products were penetrating, rather 

than film-forming, but they were kept in the WCMS category if they met most of the 

definition. Some products that were reported as WCMS were moved to the Industrial 

Maintenance category if they appeared to be primarily marketed for industrial 

applications (e.g., manufacturing plants, chemical plants, water treatment facilities, etc.)

Chapter 4 -- VOC Contents and VOC Distribution Histograms 

The 2005 survey collected data on VOC Regulatory and VOC Actual values. The VOC 

could either be based on formulation data or U.S. EPA Method 24 laboratory results. 

Most survey respondents relied on formulation data to determine VOC content. The 

2005 survey also collected data for the physical parameters that were used to calculate the 

VOC values (e.g., weight percent solids, etc.) ARB staff was then able to verify whether 

the reported parameters were consistent with the calculated VOC content, using the 

following equations: 

( )( )

c V

Wvm Ww We Regulatory (Low Solids) VOC

Also known as Material VOC Also known as Coating VOC

e V wV c V

Wvm Ww We Regulatory VOC

c V

Wvm Ww We Actual VOC

− − =

− −

− − = − − =

 Where: 

 Wvm = Total weight of volatile materials (VOC + water + exempt compounds) in 

the coating, in grams 

 Ww = Weight of water in the coating, in grams 

 We = Weight of exempt compounds in the coating, in grams 

 Vc = Total volume of the coating, in liters 

 Vw = Volume of water in the coating, in liters 

Ve = Volume of exempt compounds in the coating, in liters 

This chapter contains data on sales-weighted average (SWA) VOC contents that were 

calculated for each category using the following equation:

California Air Resources Board Dec - 07 4-2

Sales of small containers (one quart or less) were included when calculating the salesweighted average VOC contents in Table 4-1 and Table 4-2. In most categories, the 

VOC contents for water-borne coatings are substantially less than the value for solventborne coatings. However, there are some water-borne coatings that have a relatively high 

VOC value. This is due to the fact that some water-borne coatings can still contain an 

appreciable amount of organic solvent. It is also a result of the methods that 

manufacturers used to determine whether a coating was water-borne or solvent-borne. 

Some manufacturers chose to classify coatings based on the percentage of water in the 

coating. Other manufacturers classified coatings based on whether the coating equipment 

was cleaned with water or an organic solvent. If a coating contained a relatively large 

amount of organic solvent, but it could be cleaned with water, it could be classified as 

water-borne and the VOC value could seem to be higher than expected for a typical 

water-borne coating.

3. NA = Not applicable. No sales were reported for this subcategory. 

4. Sales of small containers (one quart or less) were included when calculating the sales-weighted 

average VOC contents. 

5. For Low Solids coatings, VOC Regulatory equals VOC Actual. 

6. The “Other” category consists primarily of asbestos encapsulants, concrete dustproofers/hardeners, and 

tub and tile refinishing products. Most of the sales volume for the “Other” category consists of 

water-borne products. 

Notes on specific coating categories: 

Wood Preservatives: The sales-weighted average VOC Regulatory value for 

water-borne Wood Preservatives seems high. A large portion of the volume for 

water-borne Wood Preservatives includes products that have low solids percentages 

and, therefore, could have been reported in the “Low Solids” category. Products with 

low solids percentages can have unusually high VOC Regulatory values, due to the 
Chapter 4 – VOC Contents & VOC Distribution FINAL 2005 ARB Architectural Coatings Survey 

California Air Resources Board Dec - 07 4-4

structure of the VOC Regulatory equation. If some of the Wood Preservatives had been 

reported in the “Low Solids” category, the VOC Regulatory value for those products 

would be much lower, because VOC Regulatory equals VOC Actual for the “Low 

Solids” category.

Chapter 5 FINAL 2005 ARB Architectural Coatings Survey 

California Air Resources Board 5-1 Dec - 07 

Chapter 5 – VOC Emissions 

The 2005 survey collected data on VOC Actual values, which were then used to estimate 

VOC emissions from architectural coatings in calendar year 2004. VOC emissions were 

estimated using the following equation: 

[VOC Emissions, tons/yr] = [VOC Actual, lb/gal]*[Sales, gals/yr]*[1 ton/2000 lbs] 

Estimated emissions from architectural coatings were almost 34,600 tons/yr or 

95 tons/day, based on survey data. These quantities include emissions from small 

containers (1 quart or less), but they do not include emissions from thinning and cleanup 

associated with solvent-borne coatings. 

Traditionally, for architectural coatings, ARB has estimated thinning and cleanup 

emissions by assuming that one pint of solvent (average density = 6.4 lb/gal) is used for 

each gallon of solvent-borne coating. The equation is provided below:

This traditional method is based on the assumption that no thinning or cleanup solvents 

are used when water-borne architectural coatings are applied. However, field surveys 

conducted by ARB staff revealed that this assumption may not be entirely correct. 

Water-borne coatings may be cleaned up with water, but some painters use organic 

solvents to conduct a final flush of their equipment to help prevent rusting. In addition, 

water-borne coatings may be thinned with water, but some painters use additives that 

contain VOCs to improve the coatings’ performance (e.g., flow additives that extend 

open time and improve brushability and leveling.) Since water-borne coatings 

overwhelmingly dominate the architectural coating market, ARB staff believed that it 

was necessary to re-evaluate the methods used for estimating emissions from thinning 

and cleanup solvents. 

In 2001, ARB sponsored a research project that was intended to improve ARB’s emission 

inventory for a variety of coating categories, including the emission inventory for 

thinning and cleanup solvents associated with architectural coatings. This project was 

completed in 2004 and results are summarized in Appendix B. This project yielded new 

emission factors for estimating VOC emissions from the use of thinning solvents, cleanup 

solvents, and additives (see Table 5-1). In addition, ARB staff has adjusted the emission 

factor for cleanup to account for solvent that is collected by Household Hazardous Waste 

programs. VOC emissions for thinning and cleanup do not include the following roof 

coating categories: Bituminous Roof, Bituminous Roof Primer, and Roof. For these 

types of coatings, roofing contractors typically do not add thinning solvent and they 

discard their application materials rather than cleaning them. 

The new method of estimating emissions for thinning, cleanup, and additives results in 

higher values than the traditional method. ARB staff believes that the new method 
Chapter 5 – VOC Emissions FINAL 2005 ARB Architectural Coatings Survey 

California Air Resources Board 5-2 Dec - 07 

provides a more accurate estimate because it is supported by documented research which 

represents the current marketplace.

Note: See Appendix B for details of new thinning/cleanup estimation method. 

Total estimated emissions from thinning solvents, cleanup solvents, and additives are 

more than 20 tons/day, including emissions from solvent usage associated with small 

containers. This estimate reflects the types of solvents that were in usage during 2004. 

In July 2005, the SCAQMD enacted requirements that lowered the VOC limit for 

solvents that are used for cleaning paint guns and other architectural coating application 

equipment. As of July 1, 2005 these cleaning solvents had to meet a VOC limit of 25 g/l 

for architectural coating operations conducted within the boundaries of the SCAQMD. 

ARB’s emission inventory for 2005 and later will be adjusted accordingly.

Chapter 6 FINAL 2005 ARB Architectural Coatings Survey 

California Air Resources Board 6-1 Dec - 07 

Chapter 6 -- Complying Marketshares 

In June 2000, the ARB approved a Suggested Control Measure (SCM) for Architectural 

Coatings. The 2000 SCM serves as a model rule that local air districts can adopt to 

achieve emission reductions. To date, 20 districts have adopted rules based on the 2000 

SCM, with VOC limits that took effect in 2003 and 2004. Data from the 2005 survey 

were analyzed to determine what percentage of coating sales volumes complied with 

the VOC limits in the 2000 SCM. For comparison purposes, data were also analyzed to 

determine the percentage of sales volume that would comply with the South Coast Air 

Quality Management District’s future Rule 1113 VOC limits that will become effective 

in or before 2008. When conducting these analyses for most of the tables in this 

chapter, we did not include the sales of small containers (i.e., one quart or less), 

because the SCM contains an exemption from VOC limits for small containers. Rule 

1113 also contained a general small container exemption in 2004. However, data are 

also provided for small containers only. 

Complying marketshares from the 2005 survey were compared with results from the 

previous 2001 survey. In most cases, the percent complying marketshare from the 2005 

survey had improved or was approximately the same, when compared to the 2001 survey 

data. However, there were a few categories where the complying marketshare declined 

noticeably, as discussed later in this chapter. 

This chapter includes the following data summaries:

Notes: 

1. PD = Protected Data. Fewer than three companies reported sales. 

2. “% of Complying Sales” represents the percent (by sales volume in gallons) that complied with the 

2000 SCM VOC limits that were effective during 2004. 

3. Sales of exempt small containers (1 quart or less) were NOT included when determining complying 

marketshare percentages. 

Notes on specific coating categories: 

Low Solids: For Low Solids coatings, VOC Regulatory is equal to VOC Actual. 

Other: For the “Other” category, the VOC Limit varies according to the gloss level of the 

coating. Therefore, we used the minimum possible VOC Limit of 100 g/l to estimate 

complying marketshare percentages. For the 2005 Survey, the complying marketshare 

for the “Other” category was 77%, which is a substantial decline from the 2001 Survey 

value of 100%. This decline was due to a change in the types of coatings that were 

included in the “Other” category. In the 2001 Survey, the “Other” category consisted 

primarily of Driveway Sealers which had a 100% complying marketshare. In the 2005 
Chapter 6 – Complying Marketshares FINAL 2005 ARB Architectural Coatings Survey 

California Air Resources Board Dec - 07 6-4

Survey, Driveway Sealers were pulled out as a separate category. The products that 

remained in the “Other” category had a lower complying marketshare. 

Quick Dry Enamel: Most of the reported Quick Dry Enamels were solvent-borne 

products that exceeded the VOC limit, but were included in averaging programs. 

Therefore, the complying marketshare is low. Quick Dry Enamel coatings can be 

replaced by Nonflat – High Gloss products. 

Quick Dry Primer, Sealer, Undercoater: A significant portion of the Quick Dry PSUs 

were solvent-borne products that exceeded the VOC limit, but were included in averaging 

programs. Therefore, the complying marketshare is low. Quick Dry PSUs can be 

replaced by regular PSUs or Specialty PSUs. 

Swimming Pool Repair and Maintenance: Swimming Pool Repair and Maintenance 

coatings can be replaced by regular Swimming Pool coatings. 

For comparison purposes, Table 6-2 contains the complying marketshares from the 

previous 2001 Survey.

3. Sales of exempt small containers (1 quart or less) were NOT included when determining complying 

marketshare percentages. 

Table 6-3 contains a “quarts only” evaluation of complying marketshare, based on the 

2000 SCM VOC limits. Sales of large containers were not included when calculating the 

values in this table. If a particular coating category did not have any sales of small 

containers, it was not included in Table 6-3. Architectural coating regulations generally 

have an exemption from VOC limits for small containers. However, this exemption is 

periodically reviewed and the SCAQMD Rule 1113 eliminated the small container 

exemption for clear wood finishes in 2006.

Chapter 6 – Complying Marketshares FINAL 2005 ARB Architectural Coatings Survey 

California Air Resources Board Dec - 07 6-8

Table 6-4 provides complying marketshares based on recommended exposures (interior, 

exterior, or dual). In many cases, manufacturers create different formulations for interior 

and exterior applications, because different exposures require different coating properties. 

As a result, VOC levels and complying marketshares may vary for different exposures. 

Architectural coating regulations do not generally contain VOC limits based on exposure, 

but SCAQMD Rule 1113 has different VOC limits for Interior and Exterior/Dual Stains.

Notes: 

1. PD = Protected Data. Fewer than three companies reported sales. 

2. “% of Complying Sales” represents the percent (by sales volume in gallons) that complied with the 

2000 SCM VOC limits that were effective in 2004. 

3. Sales of exempt small containers (1 quart or less) were NOT included when determining complying 

marketshare percentages. 

4. Int = Interior; Ext = Exterior; Dual = Both Interior and Exterior Exposures 

Table 6-5 contains an evaluation of complying marketshares, based on the future limits in 

SCAQMD Rule 1113 that will take effect in or before 2008. Since the 2005 Survey 

represents coatings that were sold in 2004, it is not expected that coatings had yet been 

reformulated to meet the 2005-2008 VOC limits. Therefore, some of the complying 

marketshares are quite low, but they provide an indication of how much of the market 

will need to be reformulated to meet the upcoming limits.

1. PD = Protected Data. Fewer than three companies reported sales. 

2. “% of Complying Sales” represents the percent (by sales volume in gallons) that complied with the 

SCAQMD VOC limits that become effective in or before 2008. 

3. Sales of exempt small containers (1 quart or less) were NOT included when determining complying 

marketshare percentages. 

Notes on specific coating categories: 

Metallic Pigmented: The complying marketshare for the “Metallic Pigmented” category 

is probably too high, when compared to SCAQMD limits, because ARB and SCAQMD 

have different definitions for “Metallic Pigmented”. ARB’s definition includes 

aluminum roof coatings and the products reported in the survey under “Metallic 

Pigmented” seem to be primarily aluminum roof coatings. ARB’s SCM has a VOC limit 

of 500 g/l for “Metallic Pigmented” (including aluminum roof coatings) and the 

complying marketshare is very high for this limit. SCAQMD has a separate category 

called “Roof Coatings, Aluminum” which has a much lower 100 g/l VOC limit that 

became effective January 1, 2005, so it is expected that the complying marketshare for 

the SCAQMD limit is very low, based on the SWA VOC value. 

Specialty Primer, Sealer, Undercoater: The complying marketshare for the “Specialty 

PSU” category may not be representative, when compared to SCAQMD limits, because 

ARB and SCAQMD have different definitions for “Specialty PSU”. ARB’s definition 

includes primers with stain-blocking properties, but SCAQMD’s does not. Many of the 

products reported in the survey under “Specialty PSU” only claim stain-blocking 

properties, so they probably would not qualify as a Specialty PSU under the SCAQMD 

definition. ARB’s SCM has a VOC limit of 350 g/l for “Specialty PSU” while 

SCAQMD had a VOC limit of 250 g/l, effective July 1, 2006, and a VOC limit of 100 g/l, 

effective July 1, 2007. 

For comparison purposes, Table 6-6 contains the complying marketshares from the 

previous 2001 Survey, based on future SCAQMD VOC limits that take effect in or before 
Chapter 6 – Complying Marketshares FINAL 2005 ARB Architectural Coatings Survey 

California Air Resources Board Dec - 07 6-14

2008. Since the 2001 Survey represented coatings that were sold in 2000, it is not 

expected that coatings had yet been reformulated to meet the 2005-2008 VOC limits.

Notes: 

1. PD = Protected Data. Fewer than three companies reported sales. 

2. “% of Complying Sales” represents the percent (by sales volume in gallons) that complied with the 

SCAQMD VOC limits that become effective in or before 2008. 

3. Sales of exempt small containers (1 quart or less) were NOT included when determining complying 

marketshare percentages. 

Table 6-7 contains a “quarts only” evaluation of complying marketshare, based on future 

SCAQMD VOC limits that take effect in or before 2008. Sales of large containers were 

not included when calculating the values in this table. If a particular coating category did 

not have any sales of small containers, it was not included in Table 6-7. Architectural 

coating regulations generally have an exemption from VOC limits for small containers. 

However, this exemption is periodically reviewed and the SCAQMD Rule 1113 

eliminated the small container exemption for clear wood finishes in 2006.

Table 6-8 provides complying marketshares based on recommended exposures (interior, 

exterior, or dual) and the future SCAQMD VOC limits that take effect in or before 2008. 

In many cases, manufacturers create different formulations for interior and exterior 

applications, because different exposures require different coating properties. As a result, 

VOC levels and complying marketshares may vary for different exposures. Architectural 

coating regulations do not generally contain VOC limits based on exposure, but 

SCAQMD Rule 1113 has different VOC limits for Interior and Exterior/Dual Stains.

2005 Survey 2001 Survey
Chapter 6 – Complying Marketshares FINAL 2005 ARB Architectural Coatings Survey 

California Air Resources Board Dec - 07 6-24

For most categories, the complying marketshare improved in the 2005 survey or 

remained approximately the same, as compared to the previous 2001 survey. However, 

the following categories experienced noticeable declines of more than 5% - 

Bond Breakers – For the 2005 survey, sales increased substantially for a product that has 

a VOC value that is just slightly higher than the VOC limit. The increase in the 

noncomplying product caused a decline in the complying marketshare from 96% in the 

2001 survey to 73% in the 2005 survey. 

Other: For the 2005 Survey, the complying marketshare for the “Other” category was 

77%, which is a substantial decline from the 2001 Survey value of 100%. This decline 

was due to a change in the types of coatings that were included in the “Other” category. 

In the 2001 Survey, the “Other” category consisted primarily of Driveway Sealers which 

had a 100% complying marketshare. In the 2005 Survey, Driveway Sealers were pulled 

out as a separate category. The products that remained in the “Other” category had a 

lower complying marketshare. 

Varnishes – Semitransparent: The complying marketshare for semitransparent 

varnishes declined from 88% in the 2001 Survey to 68% in the 2005 Survey. Almost all 

of the products in this category are sold in small containers, so there is a relatively small 

volume in large containers that was used to calculate the complying marketshare for 

Figure 6-2. For the 2005 Survey, there were only eight companies that reported products 

in the semitransparent varnishes category and four of those companies did not report 

these products in the 2001 Survey. In addition, a product with a relatively large sales 

volume was reported as a clear varnish in the 2001 Survey, but was reclassified as a 

semitransparent varnish in the 2005 Survey. The difference in the companies and types 

of products reported resulted in a decline in the complying marketshare for the 2005 

Survey.

Chapter 7 -- Cumulative Percent Graphs of 

 Sales Volume vs. VOC Content 

The following cumulative percent graphs were generated for each of the coatings 

categories with reported sales to depict the percent of sales volume versus the VOC 

Regulatory level. These graphs were provided to complement the VOC distribution 

histograms in Chapter 4. The dotted line on the graphs denotes the 2000 SCM VOC limit 

for each coating category. The sales volumes represented by these graphs include small 

containers (1 quart or less.) 

This chapter includes the following data summaries:

Chapter 8 FINAL 2005 ARB Architectural Coatings Survey 

California Air Resources Board 8-1 Dec - 07 

Chapter 8 -- Volume Percents, Weight Percents, & Densities 

The 2005 survey gathered the following physical parameter data: 

- Solids Percent by Weight 

- Volatiles Percent by Weight 

- Water Percent by Weight 

- Exempt Compounds Percent by Weight 

- Solids Percent by Volume 

- Water Percent by Volume 

- Exempt Compounds Percent by Volume 

- Coating Density 

These data made it possible to verify the reported VOC values that were calculated using 

the above-listed parameters. Since most survey respondents calculated their VOCs, 

rather than using Method 24 results, gathering the physical parameter data greatly 

improved our ability to ensure the quality of the VOC values. 

This chapter includes the following data summaries: 

Table 8-1: Sales-Weighted Average Volume Percents (Solids, Water, Exempts) 

Table 8-2: Sales-Weighted Average Weight Percents (Solids, VOCs, Water, Exempts)

Table 8-3: Sales-Weighted Average VOC Regulatory and Weight Percent VOC

Table 8-4: Sales-Weighted Average Coating Densities
Chapter 8 – Volume % and Weight % FINAL 2005 ARB Architectural Coatings Survey 

California Air Resources Board Dec - 07 8-2

Table 8-1 contains the sales-weighted average (SWA) values for volume percentages in 

each category, broken down by solvent-borne (SB) and water-borne (WB) coatings and 

both combined. Table 8-2 contains SWA weight percentages, while Table 8-3 includes 

weight percent VOCs with the corresponding VOC Regulatory values. Table 8-4 

provides SWA coating densities. Sales of small containers were included when 

calculating the SWA values in these tables. A small number of manufacturers reported 

sales data, but provided no data on certain physical parameters (e.g, volume percentages). 

The sales associated with these null values were not included when calculating the SWA 

values for these tables. This was done to ensure that the numbers were not artificially 

lowered by inclusion of null values.

Notes: 

1. NA = Not Applicable. No sales were reported for this category. 

2. Sales of small containers were included when calculating the SWA values in this table. 

Notes on specific coating categories: 

Bond Breakers: More than 25% of the sales volume for Bond Breakers could qualify as 

“Low Solids” (i.e., has one pound or less of solids per gallon coating), but it was reported 

under Bond Breakers. Therefore, the sales-weighted average Volume % Solids is low. 

Concrete Curing Compounds: The sales-weighted average Volume % Water seems 

high for solvent-borne Concrete Curing Compounds. The highest sales volume of 

solvent-borne Concrete Curing Compounds is attributable to a product that contains a 

fairly high weight percentage of water and a smaller weight percentage of organic 

solvent. In many cases, coatings that have a volatile content that is more than 50% water 

would be classified as water-borne. However, another criterion is the type of cleanup 

solvent that is used. For solvent-borne Concrete Curing Compounds, the high-volume 

product is cleaned up with mineral spirits. Therefore, it can be classified as a solventborne coating, regardless of the high water content. 

Mastic Texture: The sales-weighted average Volume % Water seems high for solventborne Mastic Texture coatings. The highest sales volumes of solvent-borne Mastic 

Texture coatings are attributable to a family of products that contain a fairly high weight 
Chapter 8 – Volume % and Weight % FINAL 2005 ARB Architectural Coatings Survey 

California Air Resources Board Dec - 07 8-4

percentage of water and a smaller weight percentage of organic solvent. In many cases, 

coatings that have a volatile content that is more than 50% water would be classified as 

water-borne. However, another criterion is the type of cleanup solvent that is used. For 

solvent-borne Mastic Texture coatings, most of the products clean up with mineral spirits. 

Therefore, they can be classified as solvent-borne coatings, regardless of the high water 

content. 

Multi-Color: The sales-weighted average Volume % Water seems high for solvent-borne 

Multi-Color coatings. The highest sales volume of solvent-borne Multi-Color coatings is 

attributable to a product that contains a fairly high weight percentage of water and a 

smaller weight percentage of organic solvent. In many cases, coatings that have a 

volatile content that is more than 50% water would be classified as water-borne. 

However, another criterion is the type of cleanup solvent that is used. For solvent-borne 

Multi-Color coatings, the high-volume product is cleaned up with lacquer thinner. 

Therefore, it can be classified as a solvent-borne coating, regardless of the high water 

content. 

Pre-Treatment Wash Primer: A significant portion of the Pre-Treatment Wash Primers 

has less than two pounds of solids per gallon of coating. Therefore, the sales-weighted 

average Volume % Solids is relatively low. 

Stains – Clear/Semitransparent: More than half of the sales volume for solvent-borne 

Stains – Clear/Semitransparent contains more than 50% volume solids. Therefore, the 

sales-weighted average Volume % Solids is relatively high. 

Wood Preservatives: More than 25% of the sales volume for water-borne Wood 

Preservatives could qualify as “Low Solids” (i.e., has one pound or less of solids per 

gallon coating), but it was reported under Wood Preservatives. Therefore, the salesweighted average Volume % Solids is low.

Chapter 9 FINAL 2005 ARB Architectural Coatings Survey 

California Air Resources Board 9-1 Dec - 07 

Chapter 9 -- Substrate and Resin Information 

The 2005 survey gathered data on the types of substrates that were recommended for a 

particular product. In addition to substrate information, the survey collected data on resin 

types and number of components (i.e., single-component or multi-component) for all of 

the coating categories. 

This chapter includes the following data summaries: 

Table 9-1: Volume Percent for Each Substrate Type 

Table 9-2: Volume Percent for Each Resin Type 

Table 9-3: Single-Component/Multi-Component Breakdown 
Chapter 9 – Substrate and Resin FINAL 2005 ARB Architectural Coatings Survey 

California Air Resources Board Dec - 07 9-2

Table 9-1 illustrates the types of substrates that were reported for various coating 

categories, based on the VOC Regulatory value. For example, in a given 50 gram/liter 

VOC range, most of the reported coatings in a category may be suitable for all substrates. 

However, in another 50 gram/liter VOC range for that same category, the recommended 

substrates may be limited to a few main areas. Differences in formulation between 

lower-VOC and higher-VOC coatings may result in differences for the recommended 

substrates. 

Table 9-1 lists the volume percent of coating that is appropriate for a given substrate, 

based on VOC ranges in each category. In some cases, survey respondents reported 

multiple substrate codes for a single product. In those cases, the sales volume was 

equally divided between the reported substrates. For example, if a product had two 

substrates (e.g., Drywall and Wood) and the product sales quantity was 100 gallons, we 

attributed 50 gallons to the Drywall and 50 gallons to the Wood, for the purpose of 

calculating a substrate volume percentage. If a survey respondent reported a Substrate 

Code of “0” or left the Substrate Code field blank, it was assumed that the substrate was 

not specified. The reason for unspecified substrates is either because the product was 

suitable for all substrates or the manufacturer did not provide a complete data submittal.

Table 9-3 lists the volume percent of coating for single-component and multi-component 

formulations. Single-component coatings are those that are “ready-to-use” from the can, 

while multi-component coatings require that two or more materials be mixed to catalyze 

or activate the coating prior to use.

Chapter 10 FINAL 2005 ARB Architectural Coatings Survey 

California Air Resources Board 10-1 Dec - 07 

Chapter 10 -- Ingredients 

The 2005 survey gathered speciation data for all volatile ingredients (VOCs, exempt 

compounds, and water). Data were collected for all volatile ingredients that amounted to 

at least 0.1% (by weight) of each coating. These will be used to update ARB’s speciation 

profiles for architectural coatings. It will also be used when ARB staff evaluates the 

feasibility of a reactivity-based regulation. The quantity of VOC ingredients summarized 

in this chapter is very close to the quantity of VOC emissions calculated in Chapter 5. 

This indicates that there is good correlation between the speciated ingredient data and the 

reported VOC Actual values. 

To evaluate the reactivity of architectural coatings, we will use the Maximum 

Incremental Reactivity (MIR) scale, developed by Dr. William Carter1

 and adopted in 

ARB’s Aerosol Coatings Regulation2. The MIR values quantify the potential for a 

chemical to form ozone. For each coating category, we will develop a profile of the 

volatile ingredients that are present, including exempt compounds. In one approach, 

which was used in the ARB’s Aerosol Coatings Regulation, we would then use the MIR 

values for specific volatile ingredients to develop a product-weighted MIR for a coating 

category, as shown in the example below: 

Ingredient CAS # Weight 

Fraction 

MIR Value 

(g O3/g product) 

Weighted 

Reactivity 

1,2-Propanediol 57-55-6 4% 2.74 0.110 

2,2,4-Trimethyl-1,3-

Pentanediol Monoisobutyrate 25265-77-4 2% 0.88 0.018 

2-(2-Butoxyethoxy)-Ethanol 112-34-5 4% 2.87 0.115 

2-(2-Methoxyethoxy)-Ethanol 111-77-3 3% 2.88 0.086 

Water 7732-18-5 54% 0 0 

Solids 33% 0 0 

 100% 0.329 

Product-Weighted MIR = 0.329 grams ozone/gram product 

Some members of the architectural coatings industry have indicated that they do not 

believe this approach, although appropriate for aerosol coatings, is suitable for 

architectural coatings. We will be working with the industry and local air districts as we 

consider methods to evaluate a reactivity-based control measure for architectural 

coatings. 

Hydrocarbon solvents comprise a significant quantity of the VOCs in architectural 

coatings. Since hydrocarbon solvents are complex mixtures of individual organic

compounds, it is necessary to use a different approach when assigning MIR values to 

these mixtures. For ARB’s Aerosol Coatings Regulation, hydrocarbon solvents were 

assigned to various “bins”, based on the boiling point range, aromatic content, and type 

of hydrocarbon (e.g., normal, cyclic, or isoparaffinic). All hydrocarbon solvents that 

were grouped in a given “bin” were assigned a MIR value. The 2005 architectural 

coating survey requested available data on bin numbers and survey respondents provided 

bin information for more than 90% of the reported hydrocarbon solvent mass. 

This chapter includes the following data summaries:

Tables 10-1 through 10-6 list the quantities of reported ingredients that are classified as 

VOCs, including solvent-borne and water-borne breakouts. These tables are sorted by 

weight, in descending order, and by CAS number. Tables 10-7 through 10-9 display 

ingredients that are classified as exempt compounds. Tables 10-10 through 10-12 display 

the hydrocarbon solvents reported, and corresponding Bin numbers. Table 10-13 

contains an ingredient listing for each coating category. A small number of survey 

respondents reported the solid components in their coatings, but these data are not 

included in this report. In some tables, ingredients that were reported in small quantities 

are grouped together under the name “Other Ingredients”.

Notes: 

1. Sales of exempt small containers (1 quart or less) were included when calculating ingredient quantities. 

2. Ingredients include VOCs, exempt compounds, and hydrocarbon solvents. This table does not include 

unknown ingredients. 

3. All coating categories that had protected sales data were combined under “Protected Categories”. 

Protected data means that fewer than three companies reported sales. “Protected Categories” include: 

Bond Breakers; Clear Brushing Lacquer; Driveway Sealer; Fire Resistive; Fire Retardant – Clear; Fire 

Retardant – Opaque; Graphic Arts; Magnesite Cement; Mastic Texture; Multi-Color; Pre-Treatment 

Wash Primer; Shellacs – Clear; Shellacs – Opaque; and Swimming Pool Repair and Maintenance. 

4. For the Floor Coating category, the ingredient data are questionable, because a significant portion of 

the reported sales volume did not have corresponding ingredient information. This table only 

summarizes the ingredients that could be identified as VOCs or exempt compounds. 

Chapter 11 FINAL 2005 ARB Architectural Coatings Survey 

California Air Resources Board 11-1 Dec - 07

Chapter 11 -- Survey Comparisons 

This section compares, where possible, the data from ARB’s 2001 survey (2000 sales) with the 

2005 survey (2004 sales). Data in this chapter include sales of small containers (1 quart or less.) 

As shown in Table 11-1, the percent change in sales volume from 2000 to 2004 represents an 

annual growth rate of approximately 3%. This increase appears to be consistent with industry 

reports of sales growth for architectural coatings. 

The list of major companies remains relatively constant from survey to survey and these 

companies report the majority of the sales volume. In the 2005 survey, we received responses 

from approximately 70 new companies who accounted for approximately 4 million gallons. In 

addition, approximately 50 previous participants, who accounted for about 9 million gallons in 

the 2001 survey, did not respond for the following reasons: 

• they no longer had California sales; 

• they no longer manufactured architectural coatings; or 

• they were purchased by a larger company who reported for them. 

The 5 million gallon difference between the 50 previous responders and the 70 new 

responders was more than made up for by the roughly 130 repeating companies that 

consistently participate in the survey. 

Table 11-2 provides a comparison between the 2001 survey and the 2005 survey, sorted by 

category. For most coating categories, it was possible to make a direct comparison. However, 

in some cases, it was not possible to make a direct comparison because data were not available 

for both survey years. If it was not possible to make a comparison, the category was not listed 

in Table 11-2. In some categories, there were significant changes in sales volume and 

emissions. Table 11-3 summarizes the primary reasons for these changes. Tables 11-4 and 

11-5 contain comparisons between the 2001 survey and the 2005 survey, for solvent-borne and 

water-borne coatings, respectively. Tables 11-6 through 11-8 provide historical survey 

comparisons for all of the architectural coating surveys conducted by ARB since 1975.

Chapter 12 – Averaging Program FINAL 2005 ARB Architectural Coatings Survey 

California Air Resources Board 12-1 Dec - 07

Chapter 12 – Averaging Programs 

This section provides an analysis of the survey data for products that were included in an 

architectural coating averaging program. 

On June 22, 2000, the Board approved an update to the Suggested Control Measure (SCM) 

for Architectural Coatings. The 2000 SCM specified VOC limits for 47 coating categories. 

The SCM also contained a voluntary compliance option referred to as the averaging 

provision. This provision was intended to provide additional flexibility to the regulated 

industry, by allowing manufacturers to average emissions from higher-VOC products with 

emissions from low-VOC products. During 2003 and 2004, ARB staff managed the 

statewide averaging program for the eighteen local air districts that adopted rules based on 

the SCM, at that time. The averaging program in these rules ended on January 1, 2005. 

In 2001, the SCAQMD began managing their own averaging program under their 

Architectural Coating Rule 1113. The averaging programs managed by the SCAQMD and 

the ARB were very similar, with one major exception - the SCAQMD averaging program is 

still in effect because it has no sunset date (i.e., expiration date). 

The following table lists the categories that have been included in the averaging programs 

administered by the ARB and the SCAQMD.
