is. ABSTRACT The report gives results of an evaluation of a low volatile organic com-
 pound (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 fin-
 ished with a conventional solvent-based system and several days production of wood
 furniture finished with a low-VOC system were observed and evaluated.  Both sys-
 tems produced  furniture under a contract with the General Services  Administration
 (GSA),  and were to be  similar in color and style. The low-VOC system used a water-
 borne combined toner and washcoat, a catalyzed sealer, and a catalyzed top coat.
 All problems, process changes, personnel comments, and production figures were
 noted and analyzed. The reduction in VOC emissions was estimated  from consump-
 tion data obtained during the observation period. The low-VOC finishing system  suc-
 cessfully met the criteria established in the GSA contract.

                                   ABSTRACT

     The coatings manufacturing industry has advanced the state-of-the-art  for
producing low volatile organic compound (VOC) based finishes  for wood  furniture.
The improved systems include water-borne,  high  solids  and  catalyzed high  solids
coatings.  These new coatings have the potential  to overcome  the earlier  objec-
tions of the furniture  industry to lower  VOC emissions in this  industry.   The
objective of this project  was  to  evaluate a low-VOC  finishing system for  the
manufacture of wood  furniture and to compare its performance in the manufacturing
process to an equivalent conventional  solvent-based system.
     CARLTECH Associates Inc., observed and evaluated the production of  furni-
ture finished with a conventional  solvent  based  system and several days produc-
tion of wood furniture  finished with  a low-VOC system.  Both  systems produced
furniture under a contract  with the General  Services  Administration  (GSA),  and
were to be similar  in color and  style.  The low-VOC system  used  a water-borne
combined toner and washcoat, a catalyzed sealer and a  catalyzed  top  coat.   All
problems, processing changes, personnel comments,  and production  figures, were
noted and analyzed.   The reduction in  VOC emissions  was  estimated  from con-
sumption data obtained  during  the observation  period.   The low-VOC  finishing
system successfully met the criteria established in the GSA  contract, reduction
of emissions to  less than  100  pounds VOC  per  1000  square  feet of  furniture
finished (45 kilograms  per  93  square meters).   The manufacturing  economics,
processes changes,  impacts   on  the environment,  potential   effects  on  worker
health, and  changes in  energy  requirements  are  considered  and discussed  in
detail for these low-VOC coatings.

                                 INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND
     In 1979, the  United States Environmental  Protection  Agency (EPA)  issued
Draft Control Technique  Guidelines for  volatile organic  emissions  resulting
from the  application  of  coatings  in  the manufacture of  wood furniture.   In-
dustry, trade organizations  and several  individual  companies raised  numerous
objections to the  suggested  use of new  furniture  coating technology based  on
the use  of  water-borne  coatings  in  lieu  of  the  conventional   solvent-borne
coatings.
     Since 1979, the coatings manufacturing industry has  advanced the state-of-
the-art for the production of low volatile organic  compound  (low-VOC) coatings.
As a  result  of  this  research effort, there  have been improvements  in  low-VOC
coatings, including high  solids, catalyzed high solids and water-borne coatings.
These improved  coatings  could help to overcome  the earlier objections  in  the
furniture industry to the use of low-VOC coatings.
     The General Services Administration (GSA),  in  cooperation with  EPA and  the
U.S. Army, awarded a contract to United  Globe Corporation, a division of Turner
Furniture Industries, for the manufacture of  traditional  style household furni-
ture for the use  by Army personnel stationed overseas.   A  special   clause  was
included in this contract, requiring that 1000 buffets be finished  with a  low-
polluting coating system, which  was defined  by  GSA  to be a  coating  system  that
contains less than  100  pounds  of  volatile  organic compounds  (VOC) per  1000
square feet  of  surface   area  finished  (45.4   kilograms   per  92.9  meters).
                                                                Preceding page blank

-------
     EPA had  awarded  a contract  to CARLTECH Associates  Inc.  to evaluate  the
effects of using low-VOC coating  systems in the manufacture of  wood furniture.
The GSA  contract with  United  Globe  Corporation  provided  the  host  site  for
those evaluations.

OBJECTIVES
     The objective of this project was to determine the effects  of using a low-
VOC coatings system in lieu of a conventional  solvent system in  the  manufacture
of comparable or equivalent wood furniture.  The major elements  in the manufac-
turing process to be evaluated in this study included:
     o   variances in equipment requirements to accomodate low-polluting
         coating systems,
     o   variances in the number or sequence of processing steps,
     o   manufacturing problems associated with the finishing  systems,
     o   variations in labor and energy requirements,
     o   finishing system effects on process economics, and
     o   reduction in pollution achieved by use of the low-VOC coating
         system compared with use of conventional  coating systems.
     This report does not present opinions  about  the  aesthetic  quality  or com-
mercial  acceptability of  the low-VOC finishes  since  the primary objective  of
this project was to determine the effect of low-VOC coatings on  the  manufactur-
ing and finishing  processes.  The  furniture  produced during this  program  was
required to meet minimum GSA standards for quality and color.

                                   SECTION 2
                                  CONCLUSIONS

     Two furniture coating  systems,  a  conventional  and a low-VOC system,  were
evaluated during this  study.  Buffets  finished  with  the  low-VOC system  were
part of  a  suite  of  furniture and,  therefore,  were  required  to be  generally
equivalent in  appearance  and  price  to  items  finished  with  the conventional
system.  Except where  specifically noted, the following conclusions are  con-
sidered to apply only to 6SA and similar types of  government  contract  furniture.
SUMMARY CONCLUSIONS
     The water-borne and catalyzed coatings  system  allowed  a 40  percent  reduc-
tion of VOC content from the conventional coatings  system.  The  low-VOC  system
used approximately 76 pounds  per  1000  ft2 of surface  area  coated, compared  to
approximately 127 pounds per 1000 ft2 for  the conventional system.  The contract
goal of 100 pounds of VOC emitted per 1000 ft2 covered was met.
o    Catalyzed coatings can be used successfully  in  the furniture manufacturing
     process.  The problems  noted during the  trial run can  be eliminated  by
     providing additional  worker training, improving ventilation, making  minor
     adjustments to material, and  by using properly adjusted  spray  equipment.

o    Catalyzed coatings did reduce VOC's by 35 percent of the total reduction,
     but their use alone would not have been sufficient to meet the goal  speci-
     fied in the 6SA contract, less than 100 pounds  of VOC emitted per 1000 ft2
     covered.

-------
 o   The water-borne coating was a major factor in achieving the contract
     reduction goal for VOC usage, contributing approximately 60 percent of the
     total reduction.

GENERAL CONCLUSIONS
     Low-VOC coatings  can  be successfully used  to  produce furniture which  is
acceptable under the GSA specifications used in this furniture procurement.   Due
to the observed  problem  of grain raising, seeding and bridging,  however  addi-
tional processing will  be required to provide continually acceptable  furniture.

o    Although buffets finished with the low-VOC coatings  were accepted by  GSA
     standards for  appearance,  the  surface  was  rougher  in  texture than  the
     conventionally finished GSA furniture.
o    The low-VOC coating system used in this  evaluation did not  require in-
     creased number of personnel on the finishing room floor, changes in equip-
     ment, increases in  oven temperature, or any other  significant  changes  in
     the finishing process, to  maintain production rates  and  quotas. However,
     supervisory personnel  did  jobs normally  done  by production line workers
     thus the net effect was an increase in worker load.
o    The cost of coating furniture with the low-VOC  coating system used for
     this trial   run  was  calculated to be  equivalent  to  the cost of using  the
     conventional coating  system for  GSA specification furniture.  Material
     costs for the low-VOC  system were less.

-------
WATER-BORNE COATINGS
     The water-borne  toner/washcoat  used  in  this  trial,  experienced  grain-
raising problems generally associated with  the use of water-borne coatings  in
the furniture finishing process.

o    Additional sanding did reduce the surface roughness  resulting  from the
     use of the water-borne coating.  The  number of personnel assigned  to the
     sanding operation was increased  by one  third,  from  four to six,  to pro-
     duce a satisfactory  surface  following the application of the water-borne
     coating.

o    There were no additional  changes identified in the manufacturing process
     during this evaluation that would eliminate the problem  of  surface rough-
     ness.
o    The application of the filler (wiping  stain) was affected by grain-raising
     and the failure  of  the  water-borne toner/washcoat to effectively  bind  or
     limit penetration to the  lower  layers  of the  wood.   Smoothness and con-
     sistency of color was difficult to maintain and extra effort was  required
     on the part of floor personnel.

o    Use of the water-borne coating accounted for 59 percent  of the total
     reduction in VOC used during  this  evaluation.   The  goal of 100 pounds  of
     VOC per 1000 ft? of  furniture coated  would not have  been achieved without
     the use of this coating.

-------
CATALYZED COATINGS
o    The problems associated with use of the catalyzed sealer during this
     evaluation were  mitigated or  did  not Interfere  with  the  manufacturing
     process.

o    These problems have been successfully mitigated at other furniture manu-
     facturing facilities  by providing  additional  training  for the  workers,
     adjusting the  viscosity with a  flow agent, Improving  Inventory  control,
     and Increasing the exhaust air flow from the spray booths.

o    Use of the catalyzed sealer accounted for only 12 percent of the total
     reduction in the emissions of VOC's.
o    The two problems experienced with the catalyzed topcoat  were minor and  did
     not interfere with the manufacturing process.
o    These problems have been overcome at other furniture manufacturing facil-
     ities by  using a  different  type of air  assisted airless  spray  gun  to
     eliminate the backspray, by increasing the exhaust air flow from the spray
     booth, and by adjusting the amount of catalyst used.
o    Use of the catalyzed topcoat accounted for 23 percent of the total reduc-
     tion in the usage  of VOC's.  In  addition  to this coating  having a lower
     VOC content,  it  required  application of  one layer  versus two  for  the
     conventional lacquer, to cause this reduction.

-------
                                   SECTION 3
                                RECOMMENDATIONS
     It is  recommended  that  the buffets  finished with the  low-VOC system  be
tracked and re-examined every three years  for up to ten years,  for  performance,
durability and end-user acceptance.  Information to aid in  tracking this  furni-
ture is provided in Appendix A.
     Future studies should be  conducted on  an  entire  cutting of  furniture  as
opposed to a single item of  furniture.  This  will  aid the  researcher  in  evalu-
ating problems that could not  have  been prediced  from experience with a  single
item.  Use of a mix of furniture on the finishing line would be  more representa-
tive of normal manufacturing conditions.

                             MATERIALS AND METHODS


COATING MATERIALS

     Guardsman Chemicals,  Inc.,  supplied the coating  materials used  for  both

the low-VOC  evaluation and  the  conventional  finish  for  the  GSA  furniture.

Several of the coatings (sap stain, wiping stain filler, and shade strain)  were

used in both systems.  A toner, washcoat, sealer, and two coats of lacquer  were

also used  in  the  conventional  system.   In the  low-VOC system,  a  water-borne

coating was used in place of the toner and washcoat,  and the conventional sealer

and lacquer were replaced with  a catalyzed sealer,  and  a catalyzed  topcoat.

The coatings  used  in each  system are listed  in Table  1.   Chemicals,  physical

and safety data  for  the  coatings used during the evaluation  are  summarized  in

Appendix B.  Apendix C provides the quality specifications for the coating  used

on the GSA procured furniture.

-------
     The sap  stain  and wipe  stain determine  the basic overall  color of  the
furniture.  The shade stain is a minor component  in  both  systems  and  is used to
produce uniformity of color and to cover the raw edges of the back  panels  and
back edges.  The final color is determined primarily by the wipe  stain.   These
stains are conventional  solvent-borne  coatings.
     Both catalyzed and conventional  sealers were  used  to fix  the  layers of
color onto the wood.   The  topcoat layer(s),  whether  conventional  nitrocellulose
or catalyzed, further seal  the color and provide a glossy finish.   The catalyzed
high-solids topcoat produced  a  three to  four mil  thick  layer  with a single
application.  Nitrocellulose lacquers  produce a layer two mil  thick or  less  per
application, and two applications were necessary  in  the conventional  GSA system
to obtain the desired  appearance and performance.  The  catalysts used in  the
catalyzed sealer and  the  catalyzed topcoat  of the low-VOC  system were  para-
toluenesulfonic acids.
     In the low-VOC system, a  water-borne coating was used  in  place of  both  the
conventional toner and washcoat.   Its function  was to even  out  the undertone
color and bind the lower  layers so that  additional  color could  build  upon  the
wood.  The  washcoat  in  the conventional  system  is normally  used to  bind  the
underlying color layers.

FURNITURE
Conventionally Finished Furniture
     The finishing of GSA contract furniture that was finished with conventional
solvent-borne coatings was observed.  A mixture of bedroom  and dining room fur-
niture, all to be finished with the same  coating system, were run on  the same
day.  The bedroom  suite  consisted  of  nightstands and  nightstand back  panels,
                                       9

-------
mirror frames, dressers,  and  bachelor chests.  The  pieces  in the dining  room
suite included table  rims and legs and the back  panels  for the serving  cart.
The quantities and  item  numbers  of these  pieces of  furniture  are listed  in
Table 2.  Figures for each furniture piece is  shown in Appendix R.

Low-VOC Evaluation - Buffets
     The buffet was chosen  by GSA to be the piece used  in  the low-VOC  evalua-
tions.  One thousand were to be produced with  the  new finish,  but were  to  match
in color the rest of the dining room furniture.  The  buffet  was coated  with the
drawers in place and  the  laminated top attached.   The back panels were coated
separately.  Two shelves  for  the  side compartments  were coated on both  sides
The buffet  is  shown  1n  Appendix  G.   Photographs  of  buffets are  shown  in
Appendix E.

METHODS
Calculation of Area Coated
     The furniture manufacturer supplied the area  of each piece listed  in  Table
2.  Area calculations were  confirmed using  the  GSA contract specifications.  A
copy of the GSA Procurement is in Appendix G.   The surface  area  of the  buffets
was also measured at  the  plant by the  evaluation  team.   There was  insufficient
data in the GSA specifications to confirm the  areas provided for the  table rims
and legs, but the calculated  areas  for the  other  furniture  items were  in  close
agreement with those supplied by the furniture manufacturer.
     The furniture manufacturer  has a  computerized  inventory control  system.
Attached to each piece  was a keypunch card that  was removed  as the piece was
loaded onto the  chain in  the finishing room.  These computer  readable  cards

were then tabulated for the count and type of furniture that entered the finish-
ing room for each coating evaluation.
     Total area coated was estimated by multiplying the number of pieces of each
type by its unit surface area.  These were then totaled for the units coated by
each system.  Ten chests to be coated with the conventional system were removed
for woodwork  repair  after the  sap stain was  applied.   These were  subtracted
from the total area when estimating usage of subsequent coatings.  Two dressers
from the conventional  system  evaluation  were  coated  using  the  catalyzed sealer
and topcoat.  Their area was subtracted from the conventional sealer and lacquer
coverage calculations  and added  to  the  low-VOC  sealer  and topcoat  coverage
calculations.
     Each pallet of  legs  was  estimated  to contain the equivalent of  17  ft2 of
flat surface area.  However, there was some disagreement  among plant management
personnel as to  whether each pallet  contained eight  or  nine legs.   Since  the
evaluation team observed both situations, the total  area  of the legs was calcu-
lated on the  basis  of eight and one  half per pallet.  The  use of  this average
value results in a  maximum error of  51  ft2,  less than 1 percent  of  the total
area covered in the conventional run.  Area calculations are  shown in Table 2.
Determination of Coating Usage
     Actual consumption measurements were made for the two coating evaluations,
one using the low-VOC system and one using the  conventional GSA  system.   The
first pallet of each  of the two evaluation runs was  tagged to  denote  the start
of the evaluation.   When  that pallet entered a spray booth, a measurement  of
coating volume was  made.   Calibrated stick  gauges  were  used  to measure  the
volume in the  coating  container.   The  last  pallet of the evaluation  run  was
                                       12

-------
also marked and volume measurements were taken again when that pallet entered a
spray booth.   The  difference in these  volume measurements wsa  the amount  of
material used to cover the furniture in each evaluation.

Calculation of Pounds of VOC per 1000 Ft2
     Using the area  calculations and  coating usage measurements  described pre-
viously, the amount  of  material  used  to coat 1 ft?  was  determined  by dividing
the volume by the area  coated and multiplying the  result  by.1000 to obtain the
volume used per 1000 ft?.
     VOL. COATING  USED/AREA  COATED  X  1000  =  VOL.   COATING  USED/1000  FT2
     The coatings  manufacturer  supplied density  data  for  all  coatings  used.
These were  confirmed experimentally  by  the EPA  Test  Support  Section of  the
Emission Standards and  Engineering Division  using EPA Test  Method 24.   Both
sets of data are shown in Table 3.
     The result of the  previous calculation was  multiplied  by the  density  of
the coating  in pounds  per  gallon  to obtain  the weight  used  for 1000  ft2.
     VOL. COATING  USED/1000  FT2  X  DENSITY  =  LBS.   COATING  USED/1000  FT2
     The result of the above calculation was then  multiplied by the  weight per-
cent of volatile organic compounds contained  in the coating to obtain the weight
of VOC  emitted  per  1000  ft2 of furniture  coated.  The  coatings manufacturer
supplied the VOC  content data  which  was confirmed  experimentally  by  the  EPA
laboratory.
     LBS. COATING  USED/1000  FT2 X  %  WEIGHT VOC   =  LBS.  VOC  EMITTED/1000  FT2
     The results of these calculations were then converted to equivalent metric
units utilizing the  International System of Units.

                             EVALUATION PROCEDURES

SITE VISIT AND OBSERVATIONS
     The evaluation involved on-site observations of the finishing of  6SA furni-
ture using  conventional  and  low-VOC coatings.   A  reconnaissance  visit to the
plant was made three  months  prior to the  low-VOC  coating  evaluation  to determine
if environmental   sampling  would be  relevant  to this project.  This preliminary
visit also provided the information necessary to develop a  detailed work plan for
the project.
     On the day  prior  to  the low-VOC evaluation, key personnel at the furniture
plant were  interviewed  and a thorough  inspection of the  finishing  process was
made.  The  plant management team  and   key  floor personnel  were  interviewed  to
obtain more detailed information about  the plant and its operation.   The coatings
manufacturer's representative was also  interviewed  for  background information  on
the specific coatings to be  used in  the evaluation.  The layout of the finishing
area and the finishing process were reviewed in depth.
     At the beginning  of  the evaluation  period,  the  investigators observed the
startup of  the  day's  production of  conventional 6SA   furniture.  Notes on the
application of each coating  were recorded by one member of the team on prepared
worksheets.  Examples  of  the worksheets  are  given in  Appendix  D.   The  other
member of the  team photographed the process  and  supplemented the  photographic
observations with notes.
     Personnel assignments, skill  level  requirements, the equipment used, and the
processing sequence in  the finishing  operation were noted  and recorded.   Line
speed was set  by  the floor manager and was  not changed without management approval.
                                       15

-------
The evaluation team  was notified of any  changes.   The line  speed  was  checked
periodically to  confirm the setting,  and  was verified  by measuring the  time
required for  one pallet to move between two  support  posts which were  10  feet
apart.  An attempt was  made to note all unscheduled  line  stoppages.   However,
during startup of the low-VOC evaluation, stoppages were  so frequent  that  only
their frequency  per  hour  was   noted   on  a  second  worksheet  (Appendix  D).
     These worksheets were  also  used  to record information during  start up of
the low-VOC evaluation and during the  production run on the following day.  Sup-
plemental notes  on the  low-VOC. production run were also taken  on the  following
Monday.  Photographs of  the  low-VOC finishing operations are found in Appendix E.

LABORATORY PROCEDURES
Environmental Samples
     Air samples were not  collected for this  project  because  of the plant  con-
figuration.  Each spray  booth was vented through its individual stack and several
floor fans caused  rapid mixing  of  the air outside the  booths.   Windows  were
open creating a  cross-draft.   Therefore,  a composite  representative  sample to
determine the amount of VOC released could not be  obtained.
     There were no water spray booths to remove VOC.  Water pan booths were  used
for some operations to trap solids from the over-spray.  Since it  was not feas-
ible to conduct  air  testing for VOC, testing of the  water in the  pan  for VOC
would not have provided any useful material  balances  information.
     The assumption was made that all  volatile material eventually  was released
to the atmosphere and  could be  calculated  from density  and VOC content data.
                                       16

-------
Coating Analysis
     Coating analysis for  VOC content was  performed by  the EPA Test  Support
Section of  the  Emission  Standards  and   Engineering  Division  using  EPA  Test
Method 24.  The results  of these analyses are  shown  in Table 3 in Section  4.

                             RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

PROCESS DESCRIPTION
     Although the company  selected to produce the  furniture  was  an established
commercial furniture manufacturing firm,  the company had only used low polluting
coatings once on  an  experimental  basis.   Thus,  this  project  provided a  reason-
able test of  the  adaptability  of a company to new manufacturing  materials  and
processing requirements.   The  company  was therefore  required  to  initiate  a
production run using low polluting coatings, identify any manufacturing problems
and take corrective action for identified problems.

Finishing Room
     The finishing  room,   where  these evaluations  took  place,  spans  several
levels.  Furniture is moved through the  finishing process  on pallets hung  from
a conveyor chain.   The path and  length of the  chain is  fixed  and cannot  be
changed.  If additional drying time is required  between any two steps,  the  only
options available are  to  slow down the  chain,  or to  move the next finishing
step to a spray booth further down the chain.  In some cases,  it is not possible
to move an  operation because  of limitations in  the type of spray booth  and
spraying equipment available at alternate  locations.  The  plant manager put  it
succinctly:  "We are married to this chain."
     There is a large oven at one end of the  finishing  room, through which the
chain carries the furniture.  Again,  the residence time in the oven is  set  by
the chain configuration and speed.  The oven  has two  levels which are traversed
by the chain.   The  higher level  is approximately 10°F  hotter than the lower

                                       18

-------
level which is kept at approximately 110°F (Table 4).  The large openings  neces-
sary for the  furniture  to pass into  and  out of the  oven,  also allow heat to
escape into the finishing room.
     During the three days of  evaluations, outside  air temperature  rose  to the
high 80's and low 90's,  and the humidity was  moderate  to  high  (Table 4).  There
was no climate control  inside  the finishing  room.  Many large fans, which were
primarily trained on  the  workers,  did provide  some  general  air circulation.
     The chain speed was  set  by the finishing room supervisor.  Any spray gun
oprator could temporarily  halt  the  chain, if some  problem  arose or if  he/she
got behind.  At full speed, the chain moved at approximately  18 feet  per minute.
During the test runs the  chain  was  set at full  speed except for the first few
hours after start-up of  the low-VOC  system, when the line speed was  then  set at
12 feet per minute (Table 5).
Assembly and Packing Room
     The assembly and packing  room  was on the floor  below the  finishing room.
Following a brief cool-down  period, the  furniture  was  assembled.   Backs were
attached, laminated  tops re-washed,  and drawer pulls and  other decorative hard-
ware were installed.  The inside of  the drawer slides  were waxed.  Mirrors were
placed in the frame  and  rims attached  to table tops.   In the case of  the buffet,
the silverware drawer was lined with  felt and dividers installed.   The back of
the furniture  was  stamped and  stencilled   with  stock   and  other  appropriate
identification numbers.    The  plant  inspector checked each  item one last time
before the  furniture  was  wrapped   in  a plastic  foam sheet  and crated.  The
crated furniture was immediately loaded onto  trucks  and moved  to the warehouse.

-------
     One significant difference  between the  production  of  GSA furniture,  as
contrasted with  commercial  products,  was  the attachment of  the back  panels.
GSA required the backs  to  be attached with screws, while commercial  furniture
backs are attached with staples.   The  labor for  this operation was estimated  to
be doubled  from  the conventional method  because holes  had  to  be  pre-drilled
prior to inserting and tightening the  screws.  The additional  step allowed more
time for air-drying and  curing of the finish before the furniture was  crated.

Pump Room
     Most of the finishing materials  are  stored and dispensed from a  separate
building, usually referred to as  the  pump room.  This concrete block  building
is located  across  a  private dirt  road  on  company  property.   All  finishing
materials except for lacquers, which are  stored  outside  in bulk  storage tanks,
are stored  here  in  55 gallon drums or  5  gallon  cans.   Most  of the  finishing
materials, including the  lacquers which  are  transferred to  150 gallon tanks
inside, are pumped through stainless  steel  lines  directly to the work  stations
in the  finishing  room.   Occasionally,  special  finishes  are  pumped from local
pressure pots in the  finishing  room.    The  sap  stain, which  was  used on  both
conventional and low-VOC  GSA furniture,  and  the low-VOC water-borne  coating,
were dispensed from individual local  pressure pots in  the finishing  room during
these evaluations.
Inspection and Repair
     There were two inspectors on the finishing  floor and  one inspector in the
packing room.   Normally,  10  percent  of the  furniture  requires minor  repair,
generally due to flaws  in  the wood,  not for  finishing problems.  The  quantity

                                       21

-------
of rework due to  coating  defects  is so low that no specific records are  kept.
The manager  estimated  for this plant,  that less than  1  percent  of the  items
processed require complete stripping and re-finishing.   During  this  evaluation,
no pieces of furniture, neither  conventional  nor  low-VOC,  had to be  stripped
and refinished due to coatings problems or flaws in the finish.

Conventional GSA Furniture Finishing
     The GSA furniture  manufacturing  process  followed  standard operating  pro-
cedure for conventional coatings  systems.   The  low-VOC coating  followed essen-
tially the  same  procedure with minor variations.  Other coatings systems  vary
in the number and  type  of coating  layers,  depending  on the style and desired
effect.  Figure 1  is  a  flowchart  showing the conventional GSA  and  the low-VOC
GSA finishing processes in parallel.
     Partially assembled  furniture  was  loaded  uncoated  onto   hanging pallets
which entered the  finishing  room  on the moving  conveyor  chain from the  floor
above.  Back panels,  shelves,  mirror frames, table legs, and  table rims  were
loaded separately.  The cases, e.g., dressers,  chests  and nightstands, had the
drawers in  place  and the  laminated plastic tops attached.   An air spray was
used to remove excess  dust from the  furniture  pieces  before they entered the
first spray booth.
     The first layer of  stain was applied to the raw wood in  a baffle type  spray
booth.  GSA  Sap  Stain was dispensed from  a pressure  pot  with  a  recirculating
pump located in the  finishing room.  For  other  types  of  furniture, the  stain
could be dispensed from  the pump house.   This stain was used in both  the conven-
tional and the low-VOC  finishing  systems.   It  was  applied with air  spray  guns
operated at  a pressure of  65 psi.

-------
     Three employees used air spray guns to apply the sap  stain.   After the  in-
itial spraying, one employee applied stain to the drawer edges by hand wiping.
     After passing out of the spray booth, the chain  ascended  to the  upper  level
and the furniture  was air-dried  for approximately 10 minutes.  Although  there
was no need to provide drying time for this particular stain, the fixed configu-
ration of the conveyor chain allowed no  other options.
     The toner is then applied in a water pan type spray booth.  The toner  for
the conventional  finish  was dispensed from the  pump house from an  agitated  55
gallon drum.  It  was applied by one worker using an  air  spray gun  operated at  a
pressure of 55-60  psi.   The furniture was  briefly air dried  as it  moved  on  to
two adjacent spray booths, for  application of the washcoat.
     The washcoat was  applied  in  a baffle type  booth by two workers using  air
spray guns operated  at a pressure  of 60 psi.   It was  also  supplied from  the
pump house.  The washcoat is  used to bind  the  previous layers and provides  a
base for the wiping stain.
     The furniture proceeded into the oven for  approximately  20 minutes on  the
cooler lower level.  After leaving the oven,  the furniture was sanded  using  220
zinc stearate sandpaper  or plastic  scouring material.  There  were five sanders
and one  inspector   assigned  to  this  operation.   The  inspector  also applied
touch-up sanding  on any areas missed by  the sanding  crew.
     The next step, application of the wipestain  filler, used an airless  spray
gun to apply a coat of wiping  stain at  a water  pan  spray  booth.   The  stain  was
applied in excess and was visibly  dripping from the pieces.  Ten workers removed
enough excess stain to achieve the right  color.   This step had to be accomplished
quickly before the  stain began to set.   Retarders, consisting of high-boiling

                                      24

-------
petroleum solvents such as naptha, were  added to  slow  down the  drying  process.
During the observation of  conventional  6SA furniture production, 3 gallons of
retarder had been  added  to the  drum of wiping  stain  and is  included in the
total volume of filler used in the conventional  system.
     Touch-up was occasionally required and this was done with  a  rag dipped in
naptha.  From this point  on the basic color of the furniture was  set,  although
touch-up padding was applied  before the final  lacquer coat.
     The furniture was then moved into the  oven  for approximately  45 minutes of
drying time.  During this  period  the furniture  passed  through the upper  level
of the  oven  which is approximately  10°F warmer  than the lower level.  As the
furniture moved out of the oven,  two  employees  spot sanded the  fronts and  outer
sides of the cases with 180 garnet paper to  add  highlights.  After leaving the
oven, the furniture  is allowed to  cool  for  about  5 minutes  before  the next
operation.
     The next step  was a  minor  shading  operation,  where  furniture  backs are
sprayed to cover  the  raw  wood.   For  example, backs  of  the  rear panels of the
cases, and edges  of  the open  rear of the  cases, were  lightly touched  with the
spray so that raw wood would not  show.   This shading was applied  by one worker
at a baffle type spray booth.   The laminated  tops were  covered  with a cardboard
shield in preparation for  the  next step,  application  of  the sealer.
     The sealer was  applied  in a water  pan spray booth using an airless gun
operated at a pressure of 70 psi.   This material was  supplied from a tank in
the pump house which was not equipped with  an agitator.   Two spray gun operators
applied this coating.   The furniture  dried  in the  hot  zone of  the  oven for
35-40 minutes.
                                       25

-------
     At the exit of the oven, four workers sanded the furniture with 220 stearate
paper or plastic scouring material.  Any white spots or streaks were corrected  in
the next booth by shading with  GSA Shade Stain applied with an air spray gun op-
erated at an  air  pressure  of 25 psi.  This shade was  also  used  for hand padding
following application of the first coat of  lacquer.  Padding was a minor operation
and not much  material  was used.   Some  hand-padding to touch up the molding and
the drawer edges was  also accomplished at this  work station.  Four people performed
this hand-padding operation.
     The furniture continued to  the  next booth  where a  wood preservative was
applied to the  raw wood  inside the drawers  and the drawer cavities  to prevent
adsorption of water  and  swelling.   Although   not  part of  the normal  finishing
process at this plant,  this  step  was specified by  GSA because the  furniture was
to be shipped overseas and would be exposed to radical  changes  in  climatic condi-
tions.  This  step was not included  in any  calculations of  cost or VOC  because  it
was not considered to be a part of the finishing operation.
     Next the furniture entered the first lacquer booth and  the laminated top was
again covered with a  cardboard  shield.   Lacquer was applied by two  workers with
air assisted  airless  guns  operated with  20 psi  air and 600 psi  fluid pressure.
About 5 minutes of air  drying time was allowed  before the  furniture entered the
second lacquer booth.  One person was assigned to apply additional  padding before
the second lacquer coat.  Two workers applied  the second  coat of lacquer with the
same type of  atomizer  gun.   One  person  wiped  down  the  laminated plastic top
following application of the second lacquer coat.  The furniture then entered the
oven for one and one-half hours of drying time.  A portion  of that time was spent
                                       26

-------
in the hot zone  of the oven.  As it  exited  from the oven, two workers smoothed
the inside of the drawers with electric sanders.
     The furniture then descended to the floor below for a minimum  one-half hour
cool-down before final  assembly.   The procedure for  final assembly was  previously
described under Assembly and Packing Room.

Low-VOC GSA Buffet Finishing
     This description of  the  low-VOC buffet  finishing  will only include differ-
ences between the  conventional finishing process described above and the process
for finishing  buffets   with  the  low-VOC  system.   All  equipment  and personnel
assignments were the same, except as noted  below.
     The evaluation  run  using  low-VOC coatings to  finish  1000  buffets began at
2:00 PM at a  slower  line speed of  12.5 feet  per minute.   This  was  done for two
reasons.  First, the management did  not want the buffets to reach the sealer booth
before the end of  the day.  Since the low-VOC  sealer had a limited  pot life fol-
lowing addition of the  catalyst, it was preferable to  start application of the
sealer in the morning.   Second, the slower rate  allowed time for worker training
and process adjustment.   This  was the only instance of the line speed operating
at a reduction during the entire  evaluation period.  There were frequent stoppages
when the low-VOC coatings were introduced,  which  is  not  unusual  with a  new system
and was partially because of workers getting  behind  due  to  the large surface area
of the buffets.
     The buffets entered the sap stain  spray  booth, were  coated using air spray
guns and air-dried.  The buffets then  moved  to  the toner spray booth  for the
application of the combined water-borne  sealer  and toner.   The coatings manu-
facturer representative instructed the  spray  gun operator  in the best technique
                                        27

-------
for applying the  coating.   A longer hose was used to  give the  sprayer  more time
to coat the buffet which had a surface area of over 30 ft2.   As a precaution, the
water-borne toner was pumped to the air  spray  gun  from a pressure pot located in
the finishing  room  rather than  from the  overhead  lines   from the  pumphouse.
Although the pumphouse  lines  are  stainless steel,  some  of the  fittings  used in
the delivery system  could  be subject  to corrosion from  the  water-borne  coating.
     The buffets  were air-dried for about  10 minutes before proceeding  into the
oven for 20 minutes.  Problems were encountered in the subsequent  sanding opera-
tion.  Additional sanding  was required  for  each  piece in an attempt to achieve
smoothness because the  water  in  the  water-borne  toner/washcoat had caused  the
wood grain to raise.  Two  sprayers  from  the  idle washcoat booth  were transferred
to the  sanding  operation.   In addition to  these   seven  workers, the  inspector
sanded on a full-time basis.
     Problems were also encountered in  the application  of the  filler,   GSA  Wipe
Stain.  The preceding step,  using the water-borne  toner/washcoat, did not suffi-
ciently bind the previous layer so that  color could  "build"  and  the  filler  stain
penetrated too deeply  into the wood.   Therefore,  the  wipers  could not  remove
sufficient stain to  achieve the  desired color.  Two  changes were made.   First,
more retarder was added to the wipe stain to produce a 1:1 mixture of retarder to
stain.  Second,  one  worker and an  inspector were  re-assigned  to wipe  down the
pieces with naptha to wash away the excess  color.
     The first group of buffets entered  the oven  and  15  minutes later,  the  work
day was over and  the line  was shut down.  This initial group stayed  in  the  oven
overnight.  No difference was  noted between  the buffets that dried  overnight in
                                        28

-------
the oven, the few that were air-dried overnight,  or subsequent  buffets .that  dried
for the usual 45 minutes in the oven.

     When the line was re-started the following day, the buffets  proceeded to  the
next spray booth for  application  of  the catalyzed sealer.  As a precaution,  one
worker was reassigned to the  sealer  booth to wipe  down  the laminated top,  since
the catalyzed sealer  could not be removed after  drying.   The  sealer created  an
"orange peel" surface effect before drying.   "Orange peel" is a term applied to a
surface that has minute pits, appearing like  the surface of the skin of  an orange.
Two dressers coated with conventional finishes to this point were coated  with  the
low-VOC sealer.  They too had an  "orange peel" surface.   The "orange peel"  added
to the surface roughness of the finished product.
     Special  procedures were necessary  at the end of the workday to prepare  the
catalyzed sealer for  overnight storage because  the catalyst  had  a pot life  of
only one day.   The instructions  from  the coating manufacturer's  representative
were to dilute the catalyzed material  by  adding an amount of  uncatalyzed sealer
equal in volume to the catalyzed  sealer remaining in  the drum.   The next day,  an
appropriate amount of catalyst  was  to  be  added  for the  additional  amount  of
material.  This dilution was  performed on Friday  at closing and the  additional
catalyst was added on Monday.   When the  sealer  was applied that Monday, it  was
too thick and  created a "seeded" surface.  The  dried  coat felt like  sandpaper.
In the  industry  the   term  "seeded"  is  applied to a surface full  of small  hard
bumps that feel like  seeds.   Production was  temporarily  halted and the  material
was replaced with a freshly-catalyzed drum of sealer.
     After application of the sealer, the "seeded"  buffets proceeded to  the oven
for 35 to 40 minutes of drying time.   Additional  sanding was  needed  on  the pieces

                                        29

-------
with the "seeded" surface.  The sanders complained that sanding these pieces was
difficult and additional physical effort was required.  Technical  representatives
from the  coatings  manufacturer  concluded  that the  procedure for  holding  the
sealer overnight was not adquate for an extended period such as a  weekend.   The
coatings manufacturer's representative also  believed  that the hot  weather  over
the weekend and  the  uncooled  pumphouse  contributed to the problem  and promoted
the catalysis  of the sealer,  causing  it  to "set-up" and "seed."   The freshly
catalyzed material did not have this problem.
     The spray  operators  complained about the  smell  of the  sealer.   They  did
not feel that  fumes  were being  adequately  handled by the  spray booth.   Other
finishing room workers  began  to  complain  immediately  after the catalyzed  coat-
ings were introduced to the process.  The most  common  complaint was the  strong
odor from the  material  and  its tendency to make the  eyes burn.   The finishing
floor manager  noted  similar  complaints  throughout  the   evaluation  period.
     There was approximately one-third more sludge from the  solids in the water
pans at the end of the day.   This sludge  is normally bagged  after working  hours,
mixed with wood  shavings  and  burned  in the incinerator.  The evaluation  team
observed the water pan  clean-out  and  discussed  this  procedure with plant  main-
tenance personnel.
     The buffets proceeded  from  sanding  through the  wood preservative applica-
tion and padding.  In  addition to both spray and hand padding, a  brown  crayon
was used to cover the edges of the molding.
     The catalyzed lacquer was applied in the second  of two  lacquer booths.   No
additional personnel  were assigned to this step.  After application of the lac-
quer, the furniture was returned to the  hot  zone  of  the oven  for  one  and  one-
half hours.  However,  it  was  still tacky  or wet  in  places  when  it exited  the
                                        30

-------
oven.  This  was  particularly  apparent  along the  moldings.   The  condition,
termed "bridging" by plant personnel, could indicate that  the catalyzed  topcoat
could require additional time to cure compared to the  conventional  nitrocellu-
lose lacquer or additional catalyst.
     There was some concern by the plant management  that  "printing"  would  occur
when the furniture was packed due to the incomplete  cure.   "Printing"  refers  to
the imprinting of the  surface  texture of the packing materials on  the  uncured
finish of the  furniture.   However,  the  evaluation  team  found  no  evidence  of
printing at the time of packing and shipping from the  plant.
     Only one coat of  catalyzed  topcoat  was used in place on the two coats  of
lacquer used for  conventional  finish.  The  catalyzed  lacquer can  be applied  in
a thicker layer which is sufficient for protection of the furniture.   Additional
coats of the catalyzed  lacquer could not be applied  in this plant  because the
first coat must  cure at  least  45  minutes before the  second coat  is applied.
There is only  about  10 minutes  drying  time available between the  two  lacquer
booths in this plant.
     Concern was  indicated by  plant  management about  possible  requirements for
stripping and recoating (rework) of  furniture finished with  the catalyzed lac-
quer. Since the finish  represents  ony about 10 percent  of the total production
cost, reworking  is  a  cost-effective  operation.   Conventional nitrocellulose
lacquers can be  removed  relatively  easily  in a  thinner bath.  Because of its
greater chemical  resistance, the catalyzed lacquer must be removed  by brushing
on acid and  scraping.   The plant management was concerned that this  procedure
could also dissolve glue and gouge the surface,  adding significant costs to the
reworking operation.   Because  none  of the  low-VOC finished pieces required re-
working, the evaluation team could  not  assess if  this was a  problem.  The lack
                                       31

-------
of reworking for the low-VOC coatings was not a significant finding because  the
rework rate is very low for this facility, less than 1 percent.
     Lacquer sprayers  complained  that the  backspray  was  sticky  and clung  to
their faces "like chewing gum."  Their shoes stuck to the cardboard  floor cover-
ing, which hampered the  movements  of the operators and the  covering  had to  be
replaced after  one day.   The  cardboard  floor  covering  normally  is  replaced
weekly, after plant  shut-down  on  Friday.  The  water  pan in the lacquer spray
booth, similar  to  the one  in  the sealer  booth,  contained  approximately one-
third more sludge at the end of the day.
     The final product of the low-VOC process was  similar  in appearance to  the
conventional  GSA furniture.  The surface was somewhat  rougher to the touch.   No
buffets were  rejected because  of  the finish,  which  is  consistent with this
facility's rework  rate.   The  GSA inspector  visited  the  plant as  the final
buffets were being finished.   Although  his  inspection indicated that the sur-
faces were rougher, he did approve the quality of the  furniture.

ANALYSIS
Environmental  Effects
     Releases to the Atmosphere.  The use of the low-VOC system under study  did
significantly reduce the amount  of volatile organic compounds  released to  the
atmosphere.  Calculations were based on coating VOC content and density analysis
as determined by the EPA laboratory and actual  usage per 1000 ft2 measured dur-
ing the operational evaluation.   The  reduction  in VOC was 40 percent.   Of  the
50.8 pound  reduction,  59 percent of the  reduction in  VOC emitted was due to
using the water-borne  coating in place of  the  washcoat and  toner,  12  percent
                                       32

-------
was due to  using the  catalyzed  sealer,  and 23  percent was due  to using the
catalyzed topcoat.
     The goal of  100 pounds of  VOC  emitted  per  1000 ft? coated was easily met
with this system.  Based on EPA laboratory data,  the total  VOC emitted was only
75.7 pounds per  1000 ft2,  a  reduction of 50.8 pounds.   The  use of the water-
borne coating accounted for 29.9 pounds of this  reduction,  the catalyzed sealer
for 6.1 pounds,  and the catalyzed  topcoat  for 11.6 pounds.  These results are
shown in Table 6.
     The following example will  put  the observed  reduction into  perspective.
If the 45,445 ft2 (4221.8 m2)  of surface  area that  was  coated with  the low pol-
luting systems had been  coated  with  conventional  systems, then 5748.8 Ibs of
VOC would have been emitted to  the atmosphere.   However, due to the lower VOC
content of the coating  system, only  3442 Ibs  of  VOC was emitted which equals a
2309 Ib or a 40 percent reduction in VOC  emission to the atmosphere.
     The dollar savings are similarly dramatic for  that same  45,445 ft2 of sur-
face area coated  for 1000  buffets.   Based on the reduced coating  requirements,
there was a $1280 reduction in coating costs.
     Solid Waste.  There was  an increase  in  the  amount  of solid  waste generated
as sludge, trapped in the water  pan booths after  the spraying of  the high solids
catalyzed coatings.  Plant personnel  estimated this increase to be  approximately
33 percent over normal  conventional coatings.  This  is not a major  environmental
problem for this  plant, because these sludges  are metal-free, and  can be burned
in the state-approved incinerator.

was "grain raising" caused by the water in the formulation.  Grain raising
caused the surface to be rough and necessitated extra sanding.  The water-borne
coating also opened the grain and allowed the wipe stain (filler) to penetrate
too deeply.  Increased penetration caused the color to be darker than desired
and the furniture had to be wiped with naphtha to remove the excess stain.
     The coating manufacturer could not identify any clients who had extensive
experience with this coating to determine if these problems could be solved
with experience.
     Catalyzed Sealer.  Three problems with this coating were identified.  The
first is that the catalyzed material had a relatively short pot life (nominally
one day).  An attempt to extend the pot life over the weekend shutdown failed.
The coating began to cure in the drum and produced a very rough "seeded" coat
when spray operations were resumed on Monday.  This problem was the result of
the inexperience of both the furniture manufacturer and the assigned coatings
manufacturer's representative.  Two other clients use this type of sealer exten-
sively, a laboratory furniture company, and a household furniture manufacturer.
Discussions with these companies indicate that they had no problem with the
sealer setting up because they do not catalyze large amounts of material at one
time.
     The second problem involved the production of an "orange peel" effect on
the surface of the furniture.  Other manufacturers report they have this problem
occasionally when the sealer was not adjustd to the proper viscosity with a
flow agent, or when an inexperienced operator stood too close and sprayed the
material on too thick.  These manufacturers eliminated the problem by adjusting
the viscosity of the material and providing additional operating training.  The
                                       36

-------
orange peel remained a minor problem throughout this short evaluation and  con-
tributed to the rough texture  of the buffet  service.
     The last concern  with  the catalyzed sealer  involved  complaints from the
workers about odor or irritation.  In the other two plants using this material,
there were  no  similar complaints.   In  both of these  plants  this  material  is
sprayed in baffle-type booths  with  a  very strong  air exhaust system with  high
stacks and large exhaust  ducts.
     Catalyzed Topcoat.  There  were two  problems  with the catalyzed topcoat.
The topcoat was wet  or tacky  along the  molding edge after drying in the oven.
This effect is termed "bridging."  Other companies that were contacted indicate
no problems with  "bridging" as  long as  the  oven temperature was maintained  at
110°F and a sufficient amount   of  catalyst was  used in  the formulation.  It was
also indicated that  the  drying time should  be a  minimum  of  40 minutes.  The
furniture manufacturer did  maintain  the oven  very close  to 110°F during  this
evaluation and the drying time  was  one  and  one-half hours.  However, they did
not adjust the amount of  catalyst during the test  run.
     Workers complained about  the fog that settled over the  floor and equipment
in the work area that made working conditions sticky.  Other  companies contacted
during the course of  the project that  had experience with low-polluting coat-
ings indicated that in addition to the strong pull from the  exhaust  fans in the
baffle booths, the air  assisted airless  spray system  they used produced  less
fog.  Their sprayers are set  for 50 psi  fluid  pressure and  12-15 psi air pres-
sure.  These  adjustments  seemed  to  minimize  their  fog and  eliminate sticky
                                       37

conditions at the spray booth.  During this evaluation, the furniture  manu-
facturer used an air assisted airless gun with 20 psi  air pressure and 600 psi
fluid pressure.
     Although there were no problems with "printing" during this evaluation,
the plant management was concerned about the potential  for this to occur,
especially since "bridging" occurred.  The other manufacturers indicated that
they had no problems with "printing" with this coating.

Economic Analysis
     Coating Cost.  The low-VOC coating system, including both the water-borne
and catalyzed coating, was determined to be less expensive than the conventional
solvent based system.  The cost of the low-VOC coating  system per 1000 ft2
coated was estimated to be approximately $101.03, or $4.59 per buffet.  This is
compared to a cost of $129.26 per 1000 ft2 or $5.98 per buffet for the conven-
tional system.  During the evaluation process, the corresponding low-polluting
coating per 1000 ft2 was significantly lower in cost than the conventional
coating.  For instance, the low-polluting sap stain due to the lower volume
required was 21 percent cheaper than the corresponding  GSA sap stain.   The
toner was 63 percent cheaper than the corresponding GSA coating and washcoat
combined.  There was no requirement for a washcoat, thus totally eliminating
that material  cost from the low-polluting system.  The  shade stain and topcoat
were cheaper than the corresponding GSA coats by 54 and 18 percent, respectively.
The wipestain due to the 1:1 dilution was cheaper than  the corresponding con-
conventional  application by 34 percent.  Only the sealer was more expensive
than its corresponding GSA equivalent.  The sealer was  25 percent more expensive,
                                       38

-------
     Because the washcoat was  not  required for the low-polluting system, this
cost was totally eliminated, thus resulting in approximately 36 percent of the
total cost savings  per 1000 ft2.  The cost  of  finishing  materials was estimated
to vary between 10  and  15 percent of the production costs.   The  low-VOC coatings
used during the evaluations were 30 percent lower  in  cost  per 1000 ft2 than the
conventional coating.

     Personnel  and  Personnel  Assignments.   There   were   no  additional  workers
assigned to the finishing room  floor  for the  low-VOC coating trials, but there
was an  increase in  work  load.  Personnel  reassignments   resulted  in  certain
functions not being performed.   Two floor  inspectors  had to spend nearly all of
their time on either sanding or wiping and  were not able  to continuously fulfill
their supervisory/inspection roles.  Other  reassignments did not result in de-
ficiencies in other tasks  performance.
     If this system were to be used on a permanent  basis, two or three addition-
al workers  would be necessary  to  free the inspectors  to perform  their usual
duties.  This would increase the labor force in the finishing room by a maximum
of 6 percent.   It  was  estimated the cost  of labor for  the  entire operation to
be 25 percent  of the total  operational expense.   If the  labor were to be in-
creased by  6 percent,  this  would  increase the  total  cost of  the furniture
produced by less than 2 percent.
     Production Rates.  Production  rates for the low-VOC system were maintained
at the normal levels.   The  two  full days  of production of the low-VOC buffets
exceeded the daily  production goal   in dollars.  Line speed  was maintained once
the initial  adjustments were  made  for  the introduction  of the  new coatings.
                                       39

-------
     Equipment.  There were no Increases in costs due to new equipment require-
ments.  All of the low-VOC coatings  were  applied with in-house equipment.   The
water-borne coating was not supplied  from the pump house as a precaution against
possible corrosion, but no equipment purchase was necessary.   This  evaluation
of equipment costs cannot  be  generalized  to Include other  plants  or different
water-borne systems.
     Energy.  There was  no  increase  in the oven temperature during the low-VOC
trial.  The oven  was maintained at  approximately  110°F and the boosters  were
not used.  There  were no increases  in energy  costs  due to use of the low-VOC
coatings.
     Analysis.  There were no increase costs to the furniture manufacturer  as a
result of using low-VOC coatings.  The small increase in labor cost  was  offset
by the decrease  in coating material  cost.  There were  no  other cost changes
identified.  A low-VOC  coating  system would  be a more economical approach  to
lowering VOC's than pollution control devices, whose  installation  and operation
would add to the cost of the conventional  coating system.
Health and Worker Safety
     The Material Safety Data  Sheets  (MSDS) were evaluated for major differences
between the coating  systems  and are  summarized  1n Appendix B.  The  MSDS  must
list any hazardous component present  in an amount greater than 1.0% 1n a mixture
of chemicals,   and any  carcinogen  whose  concentration 1s  greater  than  1.0%.
     Since there is no estimate  of worker exposure, no conclusion can  be reached
as to which system 1s more toxic  or hazardous based on the  above  Information
alone.  The low-VOC system does use  fewer solvents and releases  less of these
solvents to the workplace atmosphere because they are by definition lower 1n  VOC.
                                       40

-------
 However, the grain  raising  caused by the  water-borne coating required three
employees to wipe down  the furniture with naphtha (300 ppm TLV)  after the  filler
was applied.  This  increased  these workers' exposure  to  naphtha.  There were
worker complaints about eye and  throat  irritation  when the catalyzed coatings
were being used.  The catalysts  were para-toluenesulfonic  acids  and these are
known to be mucous membrane irritants  (1).  However, there are  no heavy  metals
listed in either system.
     Worker Safety.  All of  the above  components of  both  systems are considered
to be inflammable liquids. Class  IB.   There was no increase in safety hazards
as a result of using the low-VOC system.

Dear Mr* Darvin:

    Reference our FONECON, 19 8ep 85, and your letter, 20 Sep 83, regarding
aubject.  Upon receipt of your letter, I discussed the proposed ection with
Mr. Heins Von Dungen, Chief, Centrelised Furnishing* Management Office (CFMO),
Manaheim-Priedrichafeld - the agency to which the buffets heve been iasued.

    He agreed to use the following procedures.  All buffets ere marked "LVOC"
and eet aside in the wsrehouse for special handling and issuance.  When a
buffet is being issued from the "marked" stock, the occupant's hand-receipt
will also be marked and flagged when placed in appropriate hand-receipt file.
Any recheck during a later date should be easy to accomplish by just pulling
 those hand-receipt folders which are specially marked.  It will give you all
 the necessary information (i.e., quarters address, occupants name, date ot
issuance of buffet, and condition when issued).  This procedure is easier to
monitor rather than assigning an inventory number to each item and keeping
track of all future transactions.

    If you have any questions regarding thia setup, please contact Mr. Von
Dungen.  Hie mailing addreaa and telephone number is aa follows:

4.4  Tests

     4.5.1  Tests for lacquer and finish system.  All  the following tests,
except U.V. test, shall be made on completely finished wood panels produced
in accordance with the production procedures used in producing the furniture.

     4.4.1.1  Alcohol.  Age panel one week.  Place 0.5 ml of 100-proof (50-
percent) grain neutral spirits on the aged panel and trap for 2 hours with
a watch glass.  Remove glass and allow to evaporate.  Light polishing of the
area with a soft cloth must remove any whitening or spotting that developed.

     4.4.1.2  Boiling water.  Age panel one week.  Pour 25 ml of boiling water
on the leveled panel and allow to cool at room temperature.  Dry the surface.
After drying, there must be no graying or spotting.

     4.4.1.3  Cold check.  Age panel one week.  Follow ASTM D1211 test pro-
cedure.  After exposure to 10 cycles, there shall be no checking or cracking.
True lacquer checking normally is one or more wavy or straight lines which
cross the grain and do not appear related to grain structure.  When a panel
displays veneer checks, checks running parallel  to the grain or glue line
failure, the panel shall be disregarded and another panel tested.

     4.4.1.4  Cold print.  Age panel 48 hours.  A 2- by 2-inch (approximately)
piece of duck material (canvas), 8.25 oz/yd^, minimum count 60 by 58 yarns per
inch, shall be placed on the panel.  Place a 1-1b weight on the material for
24 hours at 75°F.  Bottom (contact surface) of the weight shall be flat and
have a 1.128-inch diameter (1 in?).  After the weight is removed, light
polishing with a soft cloth and liquid polish must remove any imprint.

     4.4.1.5  Hot print.  Follow cold print test procedure with the following
exceptions:

     a)  Weight is 1/2 Ib instead of 1 Ib.
     b)  Temperature during test is 110°F instead of 75°F.

     4.4.1.6  Ultraviolet light resistance.  Spray one-half of a 6- by 9-inch
white porcelain panel with two coats of the lacquer to be tested.  Allow
panel to air dry for at least 18 hours.  Place panel 12 inches from a carbon
arc lamp enclosed by a Corex D glass globe, and expose for 24 hours.  After
exposure, spray the other half of the panel in the same manner and allow to
air dry for at least 4 hours.  Compare the two finishes.  There shall be no
more than a slight darkening of the arc lamp exposed film.

                                      54

-------
     4.4.1.7  Toughness and adhesion.  The  test  for  toughness  and  adhesion
shall be made  by using  Bell  Hardness Tester,  Model  No.  1001  (see  6.5)  in
accordance with manufacturer's instructions.  The panel  shall be  marred  both
parallel and perpendicular  to the  grain.   The  resulting  indentation  shall
show no  whitening  which  is  evidence  of film  separation.   The  film  shall
conform to the  contour of the indentation  and  shall  not crack in  a  brittle
manner in or along the indentation.
