be 106 degrees F using the Seta-Closed Cup Flash Point Tester.
The material represented by this sample is described

The EPA has established certain VOC requirements
as has CARB (California Air Emissions Board) and other agencies
concerned with this matter. The California groups are by far the
most rigid and restrictive.
The purpose of this TECHNICAL BULLETIN is to
advise and reassure all those involved in the sales, marketing,
and application of RUST DESTROYER®;
that the product is now, and has always been, in full compliance
with all EPA, CARB, and all other agency VOC requirements. This
includes those of the past and those of all announced dates in the
future.
AS AN EXAMPLE: Under the rules and regulations
of the South Coast Air Quality Management District, published August,
1986, the solvent content allowed for general and industrial maintenance
primers, as shown on P1113-1 ranges from 350420 grams per liter.
RUST DESTROYER®
contains only 280 grams of solvent per liter.
In the SAME publication under Rule 1113, paragraph
(h), there is a container size restriction for products containing
photo chemically reactive solvent. RUST DESTROYER® does not contain
any of this type of solvent and is therefore not subject to the
requirement.
RUST DESTROYER®
packaged in the aerosol container is exempt from these regulations
under the provisions outlined in Section (c)(1) relating to small
packages. Other reasons for exemption are outlined in Section (c)(2).

to contact our TECHNICAL DEPARTMENT.

RE: Specialty Coatings Regulations
Dear Mr. Heiss:
Yesterday you called me in response to NPCA's recent
all member bulletin regarding non-flat architectural coatings in
California. Your concern was that one of your principal products,
RUST DESTROYER®
(TM), has more than 250 g/l VOC in its formula.
You explained that the product is used to coat the
corrosion which can ruin surfaces and that it essentially interacts
with the rust to add a protective layer to the surface. That and
the areas for which it is used indicate that you are manufacturing
an industrial maintenance product for which the VOC content level
will be 420 g/l after September 1 unless CARB defers the latest
deadline. The figure you gave me for RUST DESTROYER® (TM) was considerably
below 420 g/l, so you should be able to market your product in California
until such time as CARB or EPA attempts to impose a lower limit.
Thus, this particular aspect of your business is not affected at
this time.
You were wise to make sure of that, and I hope you
will continue to remain in contact with NPCA as we assess future
developments. Thanks for calling NPCA.
Sincerely,
Michael Campilongo, Assistant General Counsel |
