What does VOC stand for?

They also print greeting cards with vegetable-based inks and water-based aqueous coatings with low volatile organic content (VOC) for their paper stocks.

This is all done by subtracting percentage of VOCs and adding percentage of SOCs: Let: GS = Green Score VOC = % Volatile Organic Content SOC = % Seed Oil Content Therefore: GS = 100 + SOC--VOC A formula consisting of 100% volatile ink oil would be: VOC = 100 SOC = 0 GS = 100 + 0 - 100 = 0 A formula consisting of 100% vegetable oil would be: VOC = 0 SOC = 100 GS = 100 + 100 - 0 = 200 A formula consisting of: Component Percentage Modified Phenolic Resin 40 Alkyd Resin 10 Ink Oil 20 Soybean Oil 20 Linseed Oil 10 would result in: VOC = 20 SOC = 37 (70% seed oil in Alkyd Resin) GS = 100 + 37-20 = 117 Inksolutions has applied this system to all of the varnishes it produces to obtain this information.

This new formulation meets South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) regulations and has a lower volatile organic content (VOC) at 1.

There are low volatile organic content (VOC) paints around, again made by specialist companies.

The TURI Laboratory conducts a preliminary screening to determine a chemical's potential risk based on global warming potential, ozone depletion potential, volatile organic content, flammability/reactivity and acute toxicity.

NXT silane is also said to give excellent age stability to the silica tread compound, allowing for longer storage and shipping, while reducing the volatile organic content (VOCs).

The new product is lead-free, contains zero hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), and has ultra-low volatile organic content.

In North America the trend is linked to indoor air quality, either as a paint which deters the growth of mold in high moisture environments or the lowering of the volatile organic contents in paint, which have been linked to health concerns.
