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.

SECTION 1
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).

-------
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.

SECTION 4
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.

SECTION 5
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.

SECTION 6
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.

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.
