| Abstract |
The report gives results of an evaluation of a low volatile organic compound (VOC) finishing system for the manufacture of wood furniture, and compares its performance in the manufacturing process to an equivalent conventional solvent-based system. (NOTE: The coatings manufacturing industry has advanced the state-of-the-art for producing low-VOC based finishes for wood furniture. The improved systems include waterborne, high solids, and catalyzed high solids coatings. These new coatings have the potential to overcome the earlier objections of the furniture industry to lower VOC emissions in this industry.) The production of furniture finished with a conventional solvent-based system and several days production of wood furniture finished with a low-VOC system were observed and evaluated. The reduction in VOC emissions was estimated from consumption data obtained during the observation period. The low-VOC finishing system successfully met the criteria established in the GSA contract. |
