how to determine solids content of coatings
Determine Solids Content â For each coating, indicate the solids content in lbs/gallon. Solids content will be used to calculate PM/PM10/PM2.5 potential emissions. To determine the solids content of the coating or the coating density, check the MSDS or contact the coating manufacturer. If the MSDS gives a range (e.g., 50-60%), use the highest number in the range (e.g., 60%).
