Indoor
Air
Quality
(I.A.Q)
and
COV (Volatil
Organic Compounds)
The COV does not evaporate totally by drying:
these gases are going to fill tissues, papers, furniture
then they "re-release" + or - slowly in the internal air of the housing
environment (12 in 18 months).
Example
of calculations of Volatil organic compounds:
For a room of room type of 12m ² (on
the ground) everything painting, is a ceiling to paint of
(12 m² × 2 layers) 24 m ² + 4 walls to be painted of (35 m ²
× 2 layers) 70 m². Thus total to paint = 94 m².
Calculation of the COV if 1 liter = 10 m ² [according
to return 1 liter = 10 - 12 in 14 m²] then 9.4 liter need.
- Version 1:
paint without éco label
matt or satiny (acrylic! = water)
If the paint contains
375 g of cov / l, that is 375 g for 10 m ²,
it gives 37.5 g of cov / m²
Thus 94 m² × 37.5 =
3525 g of cov in the room.
- Version 2:
paint without éco
label matt or satiny (acrylic! = water)
If the paint contains
200 g of cov / l, that is 200 g for 10 m ²,
it gives 20 g of cov / m²
Thus 94 m² × 20 =
1880 g of cov in the room.
WITH ECO LABEL
: versions proposed by the company
THOMAS (always 94 m² to paint)
- Version 3 :
paint
contains 30 g cov / l.
If 1 liter = 10 m² thus 30g cov = 10
m², it gives 3 g of cov / m²
Thus 94 m² × 3 =
282 g of cov
in the room.
- Version 4 :
paint
contains
10 g cov / l.
If 10 g = 10 m²,
thus 1 g of cov / m²
Thus 94 m² × 1 =
94 g of cov
in the room.
- Version 5 :
paint
contains
1g cov / l,
it gives 0.10 g of cov / m²
Thus 94 m² × 0.10 =
9.4 g of cov
in the room.
For the
natural paints, which
show at the most 1 g of cov / liter, the "relargages" of gas persists
only a few days instead of 12 in 24 months for the
synthetic paints.
In every case:
aerate inside after the works! A paint
remains a paint!
Only fillers lime and earth possess no COV.
