Weighted Average Monomer VOC Content =
 
Σ(Mi)
Where:
Mi
=
Mass of open molding resin or gel coat i used in the past 12 months in an operation in pounds (kg).
VOCi

The records shall be maintained for two years and shall be submitted to the Department on a schedule reasonably prescribed by the Department.
E. 
Cleaning material standards. The VOC content of cleaning solvents employed for routine application equipment cleaning shall contain a maximum of 5% VOC, by weight, or have a composite partial vapor pressure of no more than 0.50 mm Hg at 68° F.
