The harm of VOCs in our environment

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are found in everything from paints and

finishes to underarm deodorant and freshly baked bread They are a major concern of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

and air quality boards across the USA and Europe VOCs have been found to be a major contributing factor to the production of

ozone, a common air pollutant that has been proven to be a public health hazard

Ozone has been a difficult pollutant to control, because it is not emitted into

the air, but actually formed in the atmosphere through a photochemical process It is in this process that VOCs play a significant

role VOCs in the air react with oxides of nitrogen in the presence of sunlight to form ozone

Ozone in the stratosphere is part of what is commonly referred to as the

‘ozone layer’ Ozone in the ozone layer is helpful because it helps to block the sun’s ultraviolet radiation

Unfortunately, most VOCs produce ozone, which inhabits the troposphere

Troposphere or ground level ozone is a harmful, photochemical oxidant that significantly contributes to the formation of smog

Troposphere ozone is regularly measured as an indicator of smog levels in the atmosphere

On days when ozone is high, usually in the summer months, health officials

recommend that those with asthma, respiratory conditions, the young and old are cautious with outdoor activity due to the dangerous

affects that excess amounts of ozone can have upon their health and well being However, the affects can also be felt by those who

are ‘healthy’

A research study at Harvard University found that ozone levels of even 08

parts per million contributed to lung disease and pulmonary function deterioration in children According to EPA studies, ground

level ozone affects the normal functions of the lung in many healthy humans There is evidence that prolonged exposure to

ozone causes permanent damage to lung tissue and interferes with the functioning of the immune system

Other problems resulting from excessive ozone levels can include damage to

the ecosystem including the retardation of plant growth and crop yields

Motor vehicles and industry are the two largest producers of volatile organic

compounds There are various industrial producers of VOCs including sewage treatment facilities, electronic manufacturers, chemical

manufacturers, woodworking industries, paint spraying, baking facilities, dry cleaners, petroleum refineries, printers and paint shops

The EPA has determined that

architectural coatings account for approximately 9 percent of the VOC

emissions from all consumer and commercial products

Specifying and applying zero\flow-VOC paint products is a win-win situation

for all involved parties

U l t r a l a s t

Are you poisoning your family?

Yes, the new and improved household is not only detrimental to your bank

balance Every homeowner strives to leave a specific individual character on their family home, a new layer of paint is often thereby

required The uninformed consumer, however, is oblivious to the health and environmental impacts associated with conventional

paints freely available in the UK marketplace That freshly new painted aroma is unfortunately filled with chemical toxins, which are also released from surfaces due to the ageing process of paint

The health aspects of paint should be of utmost consideration to the family

household Many organs are affected by the release of chemical toxins from painted surfaces; eye, nose and throat irritations, headaches, loss of coordination, cognitive disturbances (e.g memory and concentration loss), chronic choughs and sinus problems, muscle and limb pains, liver, kidney and brain damage, irritations, exhaustion, anxiety, depression, allergies and many cancers are currently known health effects caused by Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) Typical household paints continuously releases these chemical compounds in the form of gasses at room temperature

The known environmental impacts of VOCs are not new, ozone layer

depilation, global warming and fauna and flora degradation, to name a few, are all attributable to these chemical compounds The quality of paint is also negatively influenced by the continuous release of chemicals Colourfastness, waterproofing and fire resistance deteriorate in the short term (in lower quality paints)

The informed consumer is, subsequently, compelled to insist on paints that

have a minimal content of VOCs The availability of recognised tests is the only means to peace of mind when purchasing paints The European Union in May 2002, renewed the maximum content of VOCs in paint intended for household applications stipulated to be 30 grams per litre of paint It must be noted that this concentration only includes organic chemicals and not other volatile compounds, e.g water

International paint manufacturers are in the process of distributing information

related to VOC content as parts per million Logically the consumer prefers the lowest values The UK consumer’s search for human and environmentally friendly paint can be problematic However, new paint products are entering the market that fulfil requirements in terms of the specific criteria set by international markets, i.e less than 30 grams per litre of VOCs

Apart from the VOC content that is stipulated to minimise health impacts, the

European Union further protects the consumer, especially with respect to

quality assurance The characteristics of paints, and the appropriate tests of

these characteristics, are thereby defined

An accredited analytical laboratory, e.g the SABS in South Africa, must certify

the standard tests Quality however, does not only refer to the durability of

of “green” products are often higher compared to conventional

consumer is therefore in the position to drive the local market to comply with

the new international trends of less toxic paints By leading paint manufacturers (and contractors) to less toxic paints, a win-win scenario occurs, as both human and ecological health should receive the priority in these modern, enlightened times

V.O.C THE SILENT PROGRESSIVE DESTROYER

There can be no doubt that VOC emission from paint and allied products pose a

serious threat to the environment and all living creatures on earth, paint is a major contributor to VOC emissions

The threat to personal and environmental health posed by paint is not a trivial

problem but is a serious and dangerous threat to global warming! Unless countries of the world unite in measures to lower VOCs in paint and contribute towards law enforcement on a global scale, reduction of harm will not happen

VOCs are a progressive problem, which without timely intervention will lead to

disastrous consequences to the earth and its inhabitants No measures have any value without meaningful participation by all affected and involved Success can therefore only be expected if the rulers of nations of the world can be motivated to enforce a reduction in polluting VOC levels and be active partners in a prevention programme!

VOC stands for volatile organic compound = (carbon based) compound that

evaporates at ambient temperatures during manufacturing application and deterioration of paint as the VOCs volatilise, the gas reacts with sunlight and fossil fuel combustion-by-products to form ozone and smog

VOCs adversely impact the ambient air quality and may react with other pollutants,

for example the reaction of VOCs and nitrous oxides from combustion creates ground level ozone and petrochemical smog VOCs emitted from paint are 60 tons per day in the state of California (USA) alone, 36% higher than VOC emissions from all the gas stations, oil refineries from the region and 1.8 million vehicles

(Source: AQMD: Air pollution control - Los Angeles)

Health risk

VOCs emitted from paints are linked to asthma, kidney failure, cancer, chronic

diseases, such as pulmonary fibrosis and respiratory problems VOCs combined with nitrogen oxides forms ozone Ozone causes shortness of breath, kills lung cells and is suspected of causing premature ageing of lungs; also contribute to the formation of particulate pollution or PM10, which is linked to thousands of premature deaths every year

(Source: Environmental protection agency EPA)

If timely measures are not adapted to control so-called “area wide sources” of which

paint is a major component, they will become the dominant source of VOC emissions by 2010

Interior Flat paint 50 g/l - 250 g/l

g/l

Although VOC contents of paint has fallen in recent years, due to environmental

regulations, VOC emissions from house paints are expected to increase, due to population and housing growth Air quality organisations consider measures to reduce VOCs in house and architectural paints to have a maximum or no more than the following VOC contents by 2008

In contrast to this, U l t r a l a s t “B” Formula Technology enables manufacturers to

produce paint and allied products with a negligible VOC content of 0.61lbs/gallons(0.0731033Kg./liter) interior and exterior with UV resistance proof

of 75 000 hours

VOC DETERMINATION TEST ASTM D 3960

require thinning, in fact the product should not be thinned Clean up is conducted with water Multiple coats can be applied in the

same day if higher dry film thicknesses are required

TECHNICAL DATA

SURFACE PREPARATION

Ensure that all surfaces are free of loose and friable dust, debris, all grease,

and other contaminants

Carbon steel – Power brush to remove all thick and loosely adhering rust,

followed by sanding with Ultra Bond to provide a mechanical key

Alternatively abrasive blast clean to at least grade Sa2 of SIS 05 5900 – 1967 with a maximum profile of 40

micrometers Prime with one coat of Ultra Metal Treat

Previously painted surfaces - Remove all traces of grease and

contamination’s using a suitable degreaser Test the existing coating for suitability and inter coat adhesion in

a small area before applying the full system Patch prime here required with Ultra Metal Treat

RECOMMENDED DFT

APPLICATION

Suitable for application by rubberising spray gun, textured roller or brush A

brush is ideal for touch ups Stir contents thoroughly before applications

Clean equipment with water before the touch dry state

THICKNESS

RUBBERISING can be applied at about 1 mm per coat on vertical surfaces

Multiple coats can be applied “wet on wet” by allowing proceeding coats to become touch dry and then over coating

DRYING TIME @ 20 deg C for 1 mm coating and RH<75%>

NOTE surfaces should not be subjected to full loading or chemical exposure

within 8 days
