Type of paint                                              Maximum VOC content
                                                         (g/l of product applied)

Washcoat                                                           730

Translucent stain                                                  760

Non-grain raising stain                                            780

Filler                                                             480

For the purposes of this section, the volatile organic compound content is established according to the monthly weighted average composition of the volumes used for each type of paint. If a solvent, hardener or catalyst is mixed with the paint, the volatile organic compound content of the product must be included in the calculation of the average content of the paint used to determine its volatile organic compound content.
