Subject:
Web
Search
for
Information
on
Potential
Emissions
from
Miscellaneous
Coating
Operations
To
determine
hazardous
air
pollutant
(
HAP)
content
of
miscellaneous
coatings
applied
to
plywood
and
composite
wood
products
(
PCWP),
some
of
the
more
comprehensive
permits
in
the
project
files
were
reviewed
and
a
Web
search
was
performed.
Miscellaneous
coatings
include:
edge
seals,
moisture
sealants,
anti­
skid
coatings,
company
logos,
trademark
or
grade
stamps,
nail
lines,
synthetic

oils,
glues
for
veneer
composing,
shelving
edge
fillers,
and
OSB

the
information
obtained
from
permits
on

HAP
content.

The
Panel
World
2003
Directory/
Buyers'
Guide
was
reviewed
to
identify
companies
that
produce
miscellaneous
coatings
for
the
PCWP
industry.
Once
those
companies
were
identified,
the
websites
for
these
companies
were
searched
for
online
material
safety
data
sheets
(
MSDS)
or
other
information
on
the
HAP
content
of
coatings.

large
enough
for

All
instruments
should
be
clean
and
completely
dry.

Mixing
Instructions
1.
Measure
the
appropriate
volume
of
the
resin
component
as
dictated
by
the
ratio
of
the
product
(
i.
e.
60
ml
of
resin
for
a
6:
1
product,
100
ml
of
resin
for
a
10:
1
product).

2.
Measure
the
appropriate
volume
of
the
isocyanate
component
as
dictated
by
the
ratio
of
the
product
(
i.
e.
10
ml
of
iso
to
be
used
with
the
60
ml
of
resin
for
a
6:
1
product,
or
10
ml
of
iso
to
be
used
with
100
ml
of
resin
for
a
10:
1
product).

3.
With
a
mixing
device
on
hand,
put
resin
component
into
mixing
vessel
and
add
isocyanate.

4.
Mix
rapidly
­
be
sure
to
scrape
sides
and
bottom
in
a
rapid
fashion:
A
system
for
mixing:
a.
Mix
the
main
body
of
the
material
with
10
passes
around
the
mixing
vessel.
b.
Scrape
the
sides
10
times
while
rotating
the
mixing
vessel.
c.
Scrape
the
bottom
10
times
while
rotating
the
mixing
vessel.
d.
Mix
the
main
body
of
the
material
with
10
passes
around
the
mixing
vessel.

5.
Pour
the
material
from
the
mixing
vessel
onto
the
substrate
making
sure
all
of
the
corners
of
the
substrate
are
filled.
