R307-342-5. VOC Content Limits

  (1) Beginning September 1, 2014, no person shall manufacturer any adhesive, sealant, adhesive primer or sealant primer with a VOC content in excess of the limits in Table 1.

  (2) Beginning September 1, 2014, no person shall sell supply or offer for sale any adhesive, sealant, adhesive primer or sealant primer with a VOC content in excess of the limits in Table 1 and that was manufactured on or after September 1, 2014.

  (3) Beginning September 1, 2014, no person shall apply any adhesive, sealant, adhesive primer or sealant primer with a VOC content in excess of the limits in Table 1 unless that person uses an add-on control device as specified in R307-342-8 or unless the adhesive, sealant, adhesive primer or sealant primer was manufactured before September 1, 2014.

  (4) The VOC content limits in Table 1 for adhesives applied to particular substrates shall apply as follows:

  (a) If a person uses an adhesive or sealant subject to a specific VOC content limit for such adhesive or sealant in Table 1, such specific limit is applicable rather than an adhesive-to-substrate limit; and

  (b) If an adhesive is used to bond dissimilar substrates together, the applicable substrate category with the highest VOC content shall be the limit for such use.
