Résumé : |
The determination of vapour pressures for solvents of low volatility can be very difficult and time-consuming, especially for complex substances such as hydrocarbon solvents. Therefore the need for a simple calculation tool was identified in order to determine whether such solvents are VOCs under the definition of the EU Solvent Emissions directive (or VOC Directive). The tool should be simple to run, widely accessible and, after validation, aimed to ensure consistent designation of the VOC status of hydrocarbon solvents in the EU. A suitable tool based only on distillation range and aromatic content of the product has been developed and validated with experimental data. The tool is applicable to hydrocarbon solvents with an initial boiling point above 200°C (ASTM D 86). It can be used by solvent suppliers but also by solvent users such as the coatings, adhesives and printing inks producer. |
