Title Prediction of concentrations of solvent vapours emitted during painting and varnishing work
Original title Metoda prognozowania wskaźników emisji w procesach malarskich i lakierniczych [in Polish]
Bibliographic information 1980, Vol.30, No.105, p.99-108. Illus. 4 ref.
Abstract Empirical formulae are presented permitting prediction of solvent concentrations at the design stage of painting and varnishing processes. The regression equations are based on experimental data from correlation analysis between the emission and the time, temperature, airflow rate and thickness of the paint layer applied, and on 2 constants: 1.5g/dm2 for the layer and 15min for the duration of emanation. The formulae can be used to determine the maximum quantities of solvent liable to be released from 1dm2 painted or varnished surface, as a function of temperature and airflow. Prior classification of paints and varnishes into 3 categories according to the nature of the solvent they contain enhances reproducibility of the formulae.
