This article focuses on the most common high-solids, solvent-based coating technologies. Each of the resin systems discussed is available to meet the Reasonable Available Control Technology (RACT) limits of most state volatile organic compounds (VOCs) regulations. Most systems are also available to satisfy the more stringent regulations of California and the Best Available Control Technology (BACT) requirements of other states.rnThe discussions and tables presented in this article provide sufficient detail to enable a company that is out of compliance with state regulations to make an initial selection of potential coatings that may satisfy the company's performance and production requirements; however, it will still be necessary to ask vendors for samples and to conduct comprehensive production-type tests before implementing the technology of choice.
