Description:
VOCOMP-20 water-based acrylic curing and sealing compound is formulated using special acrylic polymers in a true water-based carrier. Once properly applied, VOCOMP-20 provides a nearly impermeable seal for efficient moisture retention. VOCOMP-20 appears “milky white” in the container and, when first applied, leaves a “bluish” cast on the concrete for easy visual confirmation of coverage. VOCOMP-20 dries clear to provide a transparent sheen finish. The sheen can be controlled by the number of coats applied. VOCOMP-20 resists yellowing from ultraviolet exposure and provides a durable, long-lasting finish that offers improved resistance to chemicals, petroleum and abrasives. VOCOMP-20 will minimize hair-checking, premature cracking, dusting and spalling. However, good concrete and good concreting practices should be used, as VOCOMP-20 is not a cure-all for improperly mixed or placed concrete. VOCOMP-20 meets the very strict maximum VOC content limits of 100 g/L for sealers as required by certain California Air Pollution Control Districts, as well as the 400 g/L VOC maximum required by the U.S. EPA Architectural Coatings Rule.

|
none
|
|||||||
3.3.2 Manufacturing Process
| Are any Hazardous Air Pollutants (as defined by EPA) created, used, or released during the manufacture of the product? | Yes No | ||||||||
|
Are any hazardous chemicals created, used, or released during the manufacture of the product which must be reported under the State Right to Know Act (SARA), Section 313 via the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI)? (The absence of hazardous chemicals or air pollutants in manufacture is laudable. However the presence of such hazards is not a simple indicator of environmental impact. Which listed hazards are present, how they are handled, the magnitude of emissions, and the extent and effectiveness of efforts to minimize creation, use, and releases of such hazards, are all important in assessing environmental responsibility. While it can be problematic to try to compare the performance of different companies, a record of TRI releases by company found on the EPA website allows review of a single company over time. http://www.epa.gov/enviro/html/tris/tris_query.html) |
