About This Item
ASTM D5087 is the standard test method for determining the amount of volatile organic compound (VOC) released from solventborne automotive coatings and available for removal in a VOC control device. It helps users measure how much VOC may be captured or abated during processing, supporting more consistent compliance decisions and environmental control planning. By focusing on emissions that can be removed in a control device, the standard provides a practical basis for evaluating coating-related VOC management.
ASTM D5087 standard overview
This ASTM standard addresses a test method for assessing VOC released from solventborne automotive coatings under conditions tied to abatement. In product selection and technical review, ASTM D5087 is used as a reference for measuring the portion of VOC that may be available for removal in a VOC control device. The method is relevant to situations where coating emissions need to be quantified in a consistent, repeatable way to support environmental performance and reporting needs.
Where is ASTM D5087 used?
ASTM D5087 is commonly used in settings that handle solventborne automotive coatings and the equipment or processes used to control their emissions. It is relevant to quality control teams, laboratories, and facilities that evaluate coating systems alongside VOC control devices such as abatement equipment. The standard may also support procurement and product qualification work when comparing coatings or checking whether measured VOC release aligns with internal or regulatory expectations.
Practical importance of ASTM D5087
The practical value of ASTM D5087 lies in helping users obtain a defined measure of VOC release that can inform compliance and control strategy decisions. For automotive coating operations, this can improve consistency in testing and reduce uncertainty when evaluating abatement performance. It also supports better communication between suppliers, labs, and plant personnel by giving them a common technical reference for VOC-related assessment of solventborne coating materials.
