VOC Concentration Limits for Automotive Refinishing Products
| Item | Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Product Category and Description | VOC Concentration Limit (g/L) | |
| COATINGS | ||
| 1 | Primer Surfacer A coating formulated to be applied for corrosion resistance, adhesion of subsequent coatings or to fill in surface imperfections. Adhesion promoters are not included in this category. | 250 |
| 2 | Primer Sealer A coating formulated to be applied before the application of another coating for the purpose of colour uniformity or to prevent a subsequent coating from penetrating underlying coatings. | 340 |
| 3 | Pre-Treatment Wash Primer A coating that contains a minimum of 0.5% acid by weight and not more than 16% solids by weight that is formulated to be applied directly to bare metal surfaces to provide corrosion resistance and to facilitate adhesion of subsequent coatings. | 660 |
| 4 | Adhesion Promoter A coating formulated to be applied to uncoated plastic surfaces to facilitate adhesion of subsequent coatings | 840 |
| 5 | Colour Coating A pigmented coating formulated to be applied to a primer or an adhesion promoter that requires a subsequent clear coating. This category includes metallic or iridescent colour coatings. | 420 |
| 6 | Uniform Finish Coating A coating formulated to be applied to an area of repair for the purpose of blending it to match the finish of the rest of the surface. | 540 |
| 7 | Truck Bed Liner Coating A coating that protects a truck bed from surface abrasion. Colour coatings, multicolour coatings and single-stage coatings are excluded. | 310 |
| 8 | Temporary Protective Coating A coating that temporarily protects certain areas from overspray or mechanical damage. | 60 |
| 9 | Underbody Coating A coating formulated to be applied to the wheel wells, the inside of door panels or fenders, the underside of a trunk or hood or the underside of a motor vehicle. | 430 |
| 10 | Single-Stage Coating A pigmented coating formulated to be applied without a subsequent clear coat. Single-stage coatings include single-stage metallic or iridescent colour coatings. | 420 |
| 11 | Multicolour Coating A coating that exhibits more than one colour in the dried coat after a single application, hides surface defects and is formulated to be applied over a primer or adhesion promoter. This category includes metallic or iridescent multicolour coatings. | 680 |
| 12 | Clear Coating A coating that contains no pigments and is formulated to be applied over any other coating. | 250 |
| 13 | Other Coatings All other coatings not described in this schedule. | 250 |
