NPCA And Industry Propose VOC Standard For Aerosol Adhesives
The National Paint and Coatings Association (NPCA) and a group of aerosol adhesives manufacturers have proposed to the California Air Resources Board (CARB) an industry-drafted standard for regulating volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from aerosol adhesives, according to a report in the February 2000 Coatings newsletter published by the NPCA.
The proposal stemmed from CARB’s request for industry input at a November 1999 meeting held to review CARB’s initial technical assessment of the feasibility of a 25-percent VOC standard. NPCA and affected manufacturers drafted a consensus proposal that reflects what industry believes to be the best available retrofit control technology (BARCT) for this product category.
