Versatile products meet new standards

Even after the new phase of the South Coast Air Quality
Management District’s Rule 1113 goes into effect on July 1,
Versatile Building Products will meet the VOC requirements in
rollable coatings for industrial, retail, and residential floors.
The new SCAQMD maximum VOC for industrial coatings is
100 grams of VOC. Versatile’s Chemical Resistant Urethane 5310
clear and pigmented coatings go above the standard. The products
are polyester resin-based as well as UV-, chemical- and abrasionresistant.
Requirements for all residential, retail, and office coatings must
be 50 grams of VOC or lower. Polyurea 5000 and Waterborne
CRU 5400 will meet the requirements. Polyurea 5000 produces a
shiny clear coat, contains 100 percent solids and can be applied up
to 10 wet mils. Waterborne CRU 5400 is a chemical-resistant
urethane with excellent wear, abrasion resistance, and UV stability.
The film-build, gloss and chemical resistance are comparable to
solvent-based systems. It is nonflammable and therefore can be
safely applied near water heaters or HVAC systems.
The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD)
includes Orange, Los Angeles, Riverside and San Bernardino
Counties. SCAQMD is continually increasing efforts to reduce
VOCs because they contribute to ozone formation. This rule can
