CC< 1.50 MIR/67% VOC  (these numbers are what I really want to know) I

Hello waystland,

See:

"Regulation for Reducing the Ozone Formed from Aerosol Coating
Emissions" (2005-04-18)
California Air Resources Board
http://www.arb.ca.gov/consprod/regs/apt.pdf

The numbers 67.0 and 1.50 appear on pages 12 and 14 next to "Clear
Coatings."  I deduce that "CC" stands for "Clear Coatings."  Page 14
suggests that "< 1.50 MIR" means that the product is under the limit
for Product-Weighted MIR in Grams Ozone per Gram Product.  Page 12
suggests that "67% VOC" means that the product meets the standard of
67.0 Percent Volatile Organic Compounds by Weight.

The following article discusses VOC and mentions MIR:

"Volatile organic compound"
VOC
