| Abstract |
The report gives results of an assessment of the processes, materials, installation practices, and emission characteristics associated with the application of mold release agents (MRAs). Volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions of MRAs were estimated to be 126,000 tons (114,000 tons) per year. The study also found that polyurethane molding operations accounted for a significant portion of the total MRA emissions (about 25%) and that automobile seat and other foam molding operations accounting for most of the emissions associated with the polyurethane category. Several pollution prevention alternatives were identified for conventional MRA usage in the polyurethane foaming industry. An initial assessment of each identified technology was performed. The Solvent Emission Reduction Technology (SERT) process was selected for further evaluation. |
