  • Low-emitting

    Just how low the VOC level needs to be for a given product to qualify for inclusion in GreenSpec depends on the product category. For most products, we require certification to California’s health-based emissions standard, CDPH Std Method v1.1 standard (also referred to as California Section 01350), which tests a product’s resultant VOC concentrations in the space after a given period of time. For wet-applied products like paints, caulks, and adhesives, we still also look for VOC content instead of, or in addition to, verified low emissions; this is because emissions testing doesn’t adequately test initial offgassing, and VOC content is currently the only widely available proxy.

  • Reduces construction impacts

    Included here are various erosion-control products, foundation products that eliminate the need for excavation, and exterior stains that result in lower VOC emissions into the atmosphere. Fluorescent lamp and ballast recyclers and low-mercury fluorescent lamps reduce environmental impacts during maintenance and disposal of luminaires.

Atlas Quantum-Cure™ is a water-based, zero-VOC, concrete curing compound that forms a moisture-retaining membrane for proper cement hydration. The ready-to-use, non-staining cure is sprayed on freshly placed concrete and does not need to be removed prior to application of subsequent materials. Quantum-cure is NSF/ANSI certified to be safe for potable water containment projects.

03 39 00: Concrete Curing

Concrete curing agents are coatings or admixtures that aid the set and cure of freshly poured concrete. They generally use coalescing agents to retard evaporation. Conventional products use a petroleum hydrocarbon resin base.

GreenSpec lists products made with biobased materials, low-solvent, low-VOC (50 g/l or less), water-based, or some combination of those.
