VOC laws claiming another?

don quixote,



If you would have read that fully, you'd have seen that it's a temporary problem due to testing inconsistencies. The product pass VOC standards in the opinion of the manufacturer.
 
Wow, go back and read again...



California Customers: 7/02/05 This product may not meet California's Air Resources Board, Consumer Products Regulations which limits the amount of active ingredients (VOC's) that can be in a specific product. We're sorry but we can not ship this product into California at this time.
 
Spoiledman, the SportsCarCare site does imply that there is some testing anomaly, while CMA is a little more pessimistic, saying it MAY not meet. It sounds to me like they may have gotten their VOC compliant mix a little wrong and put in 16% instead of 15% or something...I guess what I'm saying is, it doesn't sound like there won't be a VOC compliant version, just that they are haggling a bit about it.
 
Yeah well.... My point is that if I wanted to order some right now I can't. It *may* be compliant and it *may* not. Will the formula change and therefore the product?
 
As someone said in that Collinite thread, I think it was chml17l, the solvent changes required by the VOC laws don't have to be a huge deal. It may mean changing to a more expensive solvent that is not regulated. I'm not saying that it might not suck after reformulation, I'm saying that being reformulated to meet VOC regs doesn't in and of itself mean that the product has to suck. It may be a little different, dry a little faster or slower, etc. The laws are about reducing environmental levels of specific compounds, not ALL compounds, so different solvents can be substituted. One of the Chem E's can address this a little more precisely.
