Frequently Asked Questions

What are voc's?

EcoSolve Americas
Volatile Organic Compounds. These are found in many products, such as aerosols paint and chemical formulations. VOC's contribute to depletion of the ozone layer and are environmentally damaging. Solvent-based products damage the environment both at the time of manufacture and at the time of use.

Mathematically, what is a VOC?

Nazdar - Health & Safety - FAQs
The amount of VOCs in products are determined by calculating the amount of solvent present in a gallon or liter of ink, excluding water and EPA-exempt solvents, and expressed in either pounds per gallon, or grams per liter. Knowing the weight per gallon (WPG) and the weight solids of a solvent-based ink, the VOCs can be calculated according to the following equation: For example, a solvent based ink weighing 10.

Do Handi-Foam products have a VOC content?

Foampower Frequently Asked Questions
No. One of the great benefits of all Handi-Foam Two Component products is that they are 100% free of VOC's.

DO YOU SHIP HAZARDOUS OR V.O.C. MATERIAL?

Gnutti Bortolo SpA: Industrial Distribution-FAQ
Gnutti Bortolo is equipped to ship or deliver VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) material or the chemical products such as solvents, diluents etc. However since those products are governed by law depending on destination, it is Customers responsibility to check their legal position on receiving such products. For products that require specific use parameters, please feel free to contact us and ask for appropriate technical data sheets .

How do VOC's affect the environment?

EcoSolve Americas
VOC's, or volatile organic compounds, contribute to the depletion of the ozone layer. Wherever possible, VOC's are being phased-out of manufacturing processes.

How do I reduce VOC in my paint system?

F.A.Q. - Dispersion Center
The VOC of a paint comes from the organic solvent present in the formulation. If this is to be reduced, the level of solvent has to be reduced without adversely affecting the viscosity of the coating. The use of a polymeric dispersant can increase the level of pigment in the dispersion, while retaining the desired rheology. This increase in pigment level means the organic solvent content can be reduced.

Can you explain me what VOC means?

Air Purifiers Center
VOC stands for Volatile Organic Compounds, molecular gases as formaldehyde and ammonia that are extremely dangerous for your health. AllerAir produce a specialized line of air purifiers based on impregnated carbon to deal with these VOC's.

What is VOC (Volatile Organic Compound)?

Frequently Asked Questions: 50 Year Paint Made from Organic ...
Low VOC is not No VOC. It is important to understand what VOC is. VOC is the evaporating solvent in paint, added to speed paint drying and to increase paint volume. Basically, all conventional paint contains solvents, unless it is 100% linseed oil based and has a dry weight of 100%. 100% dry weight means that nothing evaporates from the paint after you open the can. If the dry weight is anything less than 100% you can bet it contains some form of solvent.

What are Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC's)?

Intellishare Environmental | Environmental Remediation Terms...
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC's) are a vapor form of hydrocarbons that contribute to air pollution. These hydrocarbon compounds can enter the atmosphere, and when exposed to sunlight, chemically react with elements in the air to produce what is commonly referred to as smog.

What is a Volatile Organic Compound (VOC)?

Nazdar - Health & Safety - FAQs
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are defined by the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as organic compounds which participate in atmospheric photochemical reactions. In terms that we can all understand, a VOC is anything that evaporates and causes air pollution. Solvents used in inks and associated products are the main concern to the coating industry. Solvents have the ability to evaporate and meet the criteria of an air pollutant. (Examples of VOCs are xylene and toluene.)

Which compounds are considered VOC's?

Kansas Department of Health and Environment: Emissions Inven...
Volatile organic compounds include any compound of carbon, excluding carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, carbonic acid, metallic carbides or carbonates, and ammonium carbonate, that participates in atmospheric photochemical reactions. The list of compounds that KDHE has designated as having negligible photochemical reactivity are at K.A.R. 28-19-201(b). Emissions of the compounds listed at K.A.R. 28-19-201(b) do not have to be reported as a VOC, although some of these compounds are HAPs.

What does VOC mean?

Gent-L-Kleen -- Frequently Asked Questions
VOC stands for volatile organic compounds. The VOC emission levels of various products are being regulated in California and other states and are an important environmental issue. Every Gent-L-Kleen hand cleaner is VOC-compliant.

What are Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC's)? Why should I be concerned with them?

Commercial Air Purifiers - FAQ
Volatile organic compounds, (VOCs) are organic gasses. Organic chemicals are widely used as ingredients in household products. Paints, varnishes, and wax all contain organic solvents, as do many cleaning, disinfecting, cosmetic, degreasing, and hobby products. Fuels are made up of organic chemicals. All of these products can release organic compounds while you are using them, and, to some degree, when they are stored.

What health symptoms result from VOC exposure?

Indoor Environmental Solutions
Levels higher than 200 g/m3 TVOC and 60 g/m3 of formaldehyde may result in irritation to people such as burning or itching of eyes or nose, stuffy nose, sore or burning throat or headache.

What are the VOC limits imposed by the Greenseal organization?

Orbeco - Our Company
Products for Industrial and Institutional Cleaners like glass cleaners, general cleaners and carpet cleaners in order to be certified by GreenSeal, need to pass the GS-37 certification. Part of the requirement for GreenSeal GS-37 Certification is that these cleaners cannot exceed the following VOC limits:

Back to Top Are there more programs Dow is working on to reduce VOC emissions?

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The new line is part of an ongoing initiative by Dow to lead the industry in VOC emission elimination from polyurethane flexible foams. The company has also introduced the development of a new, low-VOC-copolymer polyol process. Both processes allow Dow to contribute to improved indoor air quality by reducing VOC emissions inside of vehicles, offices and homes.

Is Strayer University also approved for Voc Rehab?

Strayer University Online "we fit your life"
Yes. We do participate in a state-sponsored vocational rehabilitation program. Students should present their voucher to the Student Services Office. All of Strayer University's degree programs can be completed online. Online classes are offered in two formats, synchronous or asynchronous. Synchronous classes are real-time, live-chat sessions that are scheduled once per week at a set time.

How will the Air Quality Bureau address VOC flash emissions in permits?

Air Quality Bureau Frequently Asked Questions
VOC are regulated pollutants for the Title V program and may be included in Title V permits in accordance with 20.2.70.302.A(7) with associated monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting, as needed. NSR permits may include similar requirements if the source needs enforceable limits to remain a minor source for federal requirements. To determine whether the tank-flashing emissions from an adjacent or on-site tank must be estimated, you should consider these criteria:
