326 IAC 8-22-7 Compliance procedures and test methods

Sec. 7. (a) Except as provided in subsections (c) and (d), the VOC and solids content of adhesives or adhesive primers shall be determined in accordance with the following: (1) 40 CFR 60, Appendix A, Method 24*. (2) Analytical data derived from a material safety data sheet (MSDS) or equivalent information from the supplier as long as it is based on 40 CFR 60, Appendix A, Method 24*. (b) The organic content of exempt organic compounds shall be determined using ASTM D4457-85*, ASTM International, 100 Barr Harbor Drive, West Conshohocken, Pennsylvania 19428, as applicable. (c) The VOC content for reactive adhesives shall be determined using the procedures for reactive adhesives in 40 CFR 63, Subpart PPPP, Appendix A*. (d) If air pollution control equipment is used to meet the requirements of this rule, the owner or operator shall make the following determinations: (1) The measurement of capture efficiency shall be conducted and reported in accordance with 326 IAC 8-1-4(c). (2) The control efficiency shall be determined in accordance with 326 IAC 8-1-4(d) through 326 IAC 8-1-4(f). (e) Grams of VOC per liter of adhesive, less water and exempt compounds, shall be calculated according to the following equation: Grams of VOC per liter of adhesive = Ws - Ww - We Vm - Vw -Ve Where: Ws = weight of volatile compounds, in grams Ww = weight of water, in grams We = weight of exempt compounds, in grams Vm = volume of material, in liters Vw = volume of water, in liters Ve = volume of exempt compounds, in liters (f) Grams of VOC per liter of material shall be calculated according to the following equation: Grams of VOC per liter of materials = Ws - Ww - We Vm Where: Ws = weight of volatile compounds, in grams Ww = weight of water, in grams We = weight of exempt compounds, in grams Vm = volume of material, in liters (g) Percent VOC by weight shall be calculated according to the following equation: % VOC by weight = (Wv / W) × 100 Where: Wv = weight of VOCs in grams W = weight of material in grams *These documents are incorporated by reference.
