What are Low VOC solvent cements?
In areas of the country where population and geography combine to produce ozone and smog air quality issues, low volatile organic compound (VOC) products, like paints and adhesives, are either recommended, or required by law. These products have special formulations that have lower solvent content and/or use alternative solvents, like acetone, that are less reactive in the atmosphere. Solvent cements and primers are produced that meet the requirements in Californias South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) and other regions which have similar VOC regulations. These products still meet required levels of performance required by standards and third party certifiers.
