Comparison of the VOC Emissions and Indoor Air Quality of Epoxy Coating Materials

There was an investigation into the influence of epoxy coating films on the composition of the VOC emissions and the primary aim of the research is to characterize the emissions of the volatile organic compound. It plans to recognize the effect of significant elements on the sum and substance of VOC discharged into indoor air.The Measurement of the emissions from the samples was tested in the small-space chamber. Collected samples of the emissions were analyzed by the gas chromatography in conjunction with mass spectrometer VOC emissions were analyzed by gas chromatograph Agilent GC 6890 N.The measurements have shown that the volatile organic compounds (VOC) from different types of epoxy coatings have been investigated. 35 different kinds of VOCs could be identified by the test. Compound groups occurring most often were Toluen, Methoxy, Propanol, Butoxy-Ethanol, Tetrachlorethylene, m,p-Xylen. The highest individual components were found such as Toluen and Methoxy. The outcomes have shown that epoxy coating material may contribute fundamentally to air pollution.
