Current through June 14, 2024
A. This regulation applies to any roll,
				  specialty, rotogravure, and flexographic printing facility whose potential to
				  emit volatile organic compounds from printing operations is or ever has been,
				  equal to or greater than fifty (50) tons/year.
B. This regulation applies to any offset
				  lithographic and letterpress printing facility whose combined actual emissions,
				  before controls, during any consecutive 12-month period equal or exceed three
				  (3) tons of VOC's.
1. For determining
				  applicability with §
											21.6(B) of
				  this Part the following retention factors should be used:
a. A twenty percent (20%) volatile organic
				  compound retention factor shall be used for heatset inks, meaning eighty
				  percent (80%) of the volatile organic compounds in the ink is emitted during
				  the printing process.
b. A
				  ninety-five percent (95%) volatile organic compounds retention factor shall be
				  used for sheet-fed and non-heatset web inks printed on absorptive substrates,
				  meaning five percent (5%) of the volatile organic compounds in the ink are
				  emitted during the printing process.
c. A fifty percent (50%) volatile organic
				  compounds retention factor shall be used for cleaning solution VOC in shop
				  towels for cleaning solutions with a volatile organic compounds composite vapor
				  pressure of no more than 10 mm of mercury (Hg) at 20°C (68°F) if the
				  contaminated shop towels are kept in closed containers. This means fifty
				  percent (50%) of the VOC used on the shop towels is emitted during the cleaning
				  process.
