06-096 C.M.R. ch. 162, § 4 - Calculating emission rates for filled resins

(1) When using a filled production resin or filled tooling resin, the owner or operator shall calculate the emission rate for the filled material on an as-applied basis using Equation 5:

Where: PV_F = The as-applied monomer VOC emission rate for the filled production resin or tooling resin, in kilograms monomer VOC per megagram of filled material.

PV_U = The monomer VOC emission rate for the neat (unfilled) resin before filler is added, as calculated using the formulas in Table 2 of Section 3(B)(3) of this Chapter.

%Filler = The weight-percent of filler in the as-applied filled resin system.

(2) If the filled resin:

1 Is used as a production resin then the value of PV_F calculated by Equation 5 shall not exceed 46 kilograms of monomer VOC per megagram of filled resin applied;

2 Is used as a tooling resin then the value of PV_F calculated by Equation 5 shall not exceed 54 kilograms of monomer VOC per megagram of filled resin applied;

3 Is included in the emissions averaging procedure then the facility shall use the value of PV_F calculated by Equation 5 for the value of PV_i in Equation 4 in Section 3(B)(3) of this Chapter.
