verylowVOC
VerylowVOC is a term used to describe products or processes that emit very low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during use. It is not a universal regulatory category; definitions and thresholds vary by jurisdiction and product category. In practice, verylowVOC designations are assigned by manufacturers or certifying bodies to indicate that a product’s VOC content falls below a specified limit, typically measured as grams of VOC per liter of product (g/L) or as a percentage by weight. Thresholds commonly range from near-zero to several tens of g/L, with stricter limits often applied to interior paints, coatings, adhesives, sealants, and cleaning products.
Measurement follows standardized testing methods such as ASTM D3960, ISO 11890-2, or equivalent domestic methods, which
Industry practice: verylowVOC labels are prevalent in paints and coatings, primers, sealants, flooring adhesives, and cleaning
Limitations: VOC emission behavior depends on environmental conditions and product usage; ratings may reflect content in
