The National Shipbuilding Research Program. Historical Overview of Efforts to Reduce VOC Emissions Through Coating Reformulations and Analysis of VOC vs HAP Content in Marine Coatings

Abstract

The Environmental Studies and Testing Project N1-89-2 was initiated to assist the shipyard community to comply with environmental regulations. The objective of the project was to provide a vehicle for the selection definition performance and analyses of certain physical testing and studies to support environmental considerations of shipyard work toward ultimate compliance with environmental regulations. This study `Historical Overview of Efforts to Reduce VOC Emissions through Coating Reformulations' is being performed as sub-task 2 to the National Shipbuilding Research Program Project N1-89-2 within the purview of the SNAME SPC Panel SP-1 Ad Hoc Committee for Environmental Studies and Testing. The objective of the study is to demonstrate that the shipbuilding industry's and coating manufacturer's have voluntarily participated in efforts to reduce marine coating VOC contents.
