Calculating VOC Emissions using Mass Balance Amount of Coating Used – 4,000 gallons VOC Content – 2.11 lbs/gallon 4,000 gallons x 2.11 lbs/gallon = 8,440 lbs of VOC = 4.22 tons of VOC What if only weight % is listed??? 6.55 x (50.67/100) =

VOCs shall be listed as g/L (grams/liter). The calculation of VOC Paints and coatings: Product meets the VOC content limits outlined.

To calculate the weight of total VOC you will need to go to the MSDS and list the density of each VOC ingredient and convert each one from volume to weight. However, the vendor is obliged to tell you the VOC by weight per EPA Method 24. That is the only method that is legally acceptable and you should not need to perform any caluclations.

Information on VOC content is typically found on a product's label or can be found on the product's material safety data sheet (MSDS), which should be available from retailers that sell paints and other chemical products and contractors that use them. VOC Limit (g/L) Flat Paint: 50: Non-Flat Paint: 100: Non-Flat, High Gloss Paint: 150:

MPI Green Performance ® Standard (GPS-2-12) provides for a maximum allowable limit of 50 g/L of VOCs. VOCs shall be listed as g/L (grams/liter). The calculation of VOC shall exclude water and tinting color added at the point of sale.

Calculating VOC Emissions using Mass Balance Amount of Coating Used - 4,000 gallons VOC Content - 2.11 lbs/gallon 4,000 gallons x 2.11 lbs/gallon = 8,440 lbs of VOC = 4.22 tons of VOC What if only weight % is listed??? 6.55 x (50.67/100) = 3.32 lbs VOC/gallon What if the density isn't listed???

VOC emissions, including the emissions fee in Rule 314, are also calculated based on the VOC of material. The VOC Calculator (XLS, 90kb) is a spreadsheet that will calculate both VOC values

Paints labeled "low-VOC" should contain fewer than 50 grams per liter of volatile compounds, if they meet the Green Seal standards.
