EQ Credit 4.1: Low-Emitting Materials: Adhesives & Sealants

EQ Credit 4.1 stipulates that all adhesives and sealants used on the interior of the building shall comply with the requirements of South Coast Air Quality Management District Rule #1168. SCAQMD Rule#1168 sets volatile organic compound (VOC) limits for adhesives and sealants applied on site. A Tate floor system is installed by using a multi-purpose construction adhesive provided by Tate to fasten the pedestals to the building floor. Tate provides two brands of adhesive which comply with the Rule#1168. The most frequently used brand is AIM 382; the Seal Bond 95 brand is sometimes used in highly seismic regions.

EQ Credit 4.2: Low-Emitting Materials: Paints & Coatings

EQ Credit 4.2 stipulates that anti-corrosive and anti-rust paints applied to interior ferrous metal substrates must not exceed the VOC content limit of 250 g/L established in Green Seal Standard GC-03, Anti-Corrosive Paints, 2nd Edition, January 7, 1997.  Although our panel paint is applied and cured at the factory, we provide this verification of the cured paint VOC content for use when fulfilling rigorous LEED submittal requirements.

Increased demand for building products that incorporate recycled content and the documentation process required for LEED certification have prompted us to generate an easy to use tool for calculating and presenting our access floor system’s recycled content.

The Excel spreadsheets below contain the full detail of the recycled content of our system and its components. The spreadsheet is formatted printer friendly in order to provide all anticipated information as required in the LEED standard under Material & Resource Credit 4 Recycled Content on one sheet. We have prepared excel documents for calculating the recycled content of the ConCore, All Steel and Woodcore systems.
