Re: Florida School Plant Management Association (FSPMA) Regular Paint Committee Meeting of

July 25th

, 2008.

Dear Committee Members:

A regular meeting of the FSPMA Paint Committee was held on Friday, July 25th

, 2008 at the Safety

Department Building, Training Lab room, Broward County Public Schools (4200 NW 10th Ave,

Oakland Park, FL 33309).

Education Members Present:

Mr. Dan O‟Brien, Broward County Public Schools, Chairperson

Mr. Mark Alan, Broward County Public Schools

Mr. George Young, Broward County Public Schools

Mr. Doug Durham, Miami-Dade County Public Schools

Mr. Richard Simons, Miami-Dade County Public Schools

Ms. Mercedes Leon, Miami-Dade County Public Schools

Mr. Alberto Velazquez, Miami-Dade County Public Schools

Ms. Doraida Diaz, Miami-Dade County Public Schools

Industrial Members Present:

Mr. Bruce Alvin, INSL-X/Coronado Paints

Mr. Felix Flores, PPG/Pittsburg Paints

Mr. Santiago Gabriel, Flexbon/Sherwin Williams

Mr. Bill Harper, Somay Paints

Mr. Glenn Saren, TKO Waterproof Coatings

Mr. Robert Benson, TKO Waterproof Coatings

Mr. Dick Doyle, TKO Waterproof Coatings

– L-1237-DD – August 1, 2008

The meeting was called by Mr. Dan O‟Brien - Committee Chairman - and the participants introduced

themselves. The committee meeting continued after the quorum of Educational Members was

confirmed.

The previous committee meeting minutes, the current FSPMA-certified brand list, an updated

historical summary report of FSPMA-related MT&E1 laboratory paint testing activity, and the payment

report associated to the FSPMA Paint Product Certification Program included in the report2 were all

reviewed and approved unanimously by the educational members. The laboratory test results obtained

since May 23rd

, 2008 as well as a list of paint samples currently placed on exterior exposure conditions

were presented by Mr. Alberto Velazquez from MT&E and were also unanimously approved.

A follow-up on the agreements reached at the previous committee meeting was conducted by Mr.

Velazquez and the related discussion and agreements will be recorded in detail in these minutes as the

different agenda topics are addressed.

.....................................................................................................................................................................

Mr. Bruce Alvin, from INSL-X/Coronado Paints brought up for discussion the possibility of

authorizing MT&E to enter into confidentiality agreements with interested vendors in order to allow

the submission of confidential, legally-binding technical information by the manufacturers to prove

compliance with selected requirements. The full-disclosure type of documents would contain specific

laboratory results pertaining to those parameters for which independent laboratory confirmation is

currently required and which had been obtained using the methods indicated in the FSPMA

specification of interest.

Ms. Diaz from MT&E expressed that her Department would favor including this option as an

additional alternative to the submission of expensive independent lab reports for compliance

confirmation as currently stated in FSPMA specifications as long as the documents are notarized and,

therefore, legally binding in nature.

Committee Agreements (unanimous):

To authorize MT&E to accept the submission of confidential, notarized, legally-binding

technical information by the manufacturers for the purpose of confirming compliance with

selected requirements. The full-disclosure type of documents will contain specific laboratory

results pertaining to those parameters for which independent laboratory confirmation is

currently required and which had been obtained using the methods indicated in the FSPMA

specification of interest.

This confidential, full-disclosure technical documentation will be added as an alternative to,

and will not supersede, the presently required independent laboratory confirmation which will

remain as an option in FSPMA specifications.

Ms. Diaz from MT&E will add this additional choice to FSPMA specifications (when

applicable) without changing the spec version number identification.

2The FSPMA Paint Committee Report for the current meeting was prepared by MT&E and posted on their website to make

it accessible to all committee members, who were timely informed of the posting via e-mail.

– L-1237-DD – August 1, 2008

Ms. Diaz informed that only three vendors -INSL-X/Coronado Paints, PPG/Pittsburg Paints, and

Zinsser- had filled out and returned the spreadsheet containing the % of solids by volume of currently

approved brands. She explained that the submitted data was included in an appendix of the present

meeting report but that it is insufficient for the comprehensive FSPMA specification revision which

was agreed upon in the previous meeting.

Mr. Alvin explained that he had taken the time of reviewing several product specification sheets and

MSDSs corresponding to brands approved under different FSPMA specification categories. The

gathered data is, in his opinion, enough to allow the revision of FSPMA specifications (when

applicable) to include a % of solids by volume acceptance criteria that reflects current industry

standards and school district minimum quality needs.


Mr. Bruce Alvin from INSL-X/Coronado Paints will compile in one document (MS Excel or

Word) the % of solids by volume information obtained for currently FSPMA-certified brands

based on their corresponding product specification sheets and/or MSDSs. Based on this

information Mr. Alvin will also include in the document the proposed acceptance criteria for

each impacted specification.

Mr. Alvin will e-mail Ms Diaz from MT&E an electronic copy of the revision, which she will

include as an appendix in the next committee meeting report in order to allow all members to

revise it before discussing and voting on the issue.

.....................................................................................................................................................................

Mr. Velazquez and Ms. Leon from MT&E showed to all the participants the resulting panels obtained

for the stain block test currently included in MP-38.1 -„Exterior/Interior, Alkali Resistant Stain Block

Universal Primer/Sealer‟ for two samples: 1) the INSL-X/Coronado Paints „Grip & Seal Latex Stain

Killer 116-11 [MT&E Lab # P2546], which is the only presently-certified MP-38.1 brand, and 2) the

PPG/Pittsburg Paints „Seal Grip Int/Ext 100% Acrylic Universal Primer/Sealer 17-921‟ [MT&E Lab #

P2591], which is a brand currently in process of being tested to determine compliance with MP-38.1.

As can be observed from the pictures above, the same blue, green, and red Dennison „Mark-A-Lot‟

(broad tip) marker stains clearly showed through the specified primer and top coat applications on both

glass panels with similar intensity. The stains corresponding to the red Sanford „Sharpie‟ permanent

INSL-X/Coronado Paints ‘Grip & Seal Latex Stain Killer 116-11 [MT&E Lab # P2546].

PPG/Pittsburg Paints ‘Seal Grip Int/Ext 100% Acrylic Universal Primer/Sealer 17-

921’ [MT&E Lab # P2591].

– L-1237-DD – August 1, 2008

marker showed through at a comparatively weaker level also on both the Coronado „Grip & Seal‟ and

the PPG „Seal Grip‟ samples.

A consensus was reached among the committee members regarding the use of the INSL-X/Coronado

Paints „Grip & Seal Latex Stain Killer 116-11 [MT&E Lab # P2546] as a reference standard to

determine future compliance of samples with the MP-38.1 stain block test. The participants also

considered that the stain block test results for the PPG/Pittsburg Paints „Seal Grip Int/Ext 100%

Acrylic Universal Primer/Sealer 17-921‟ [MT&E Lab # P2591] sample could be considered equivalent

to those obtained for the reference Coronado brand.


The MP-38.2 -‘Exterior/Interior, Alkali Resistant Stain Block Universal Primer/Sealer’

acceptance criterion to determine compliance with the stain block test will be revised to require

in the future that samples shall yield results equal or better than those obtained with the INSL-

X/Coronado Paints ‘Grip & Seal Latex Stain Killer 116-11 [MT&E Lab # P2546], which will

be formally considered the standard reference material for this test.

The glass panel obtained for MT&E Lab # P2546 (Coronado ‘Grip & Seal’) will be kept at

MT&E for comparison purposes and fresh additional panels will be produced in the future

whenever necessary.

The newly revised MP-38.3-‘Exterior/Interior, Alkali Resistant Stain Block Universal

Primer/Sealer’ will be prepared by Ms. Diaz from MT&E and posted on both the official

FSPMA website (http://www.fspma.com/) and the MT&E website

(http://materials.dadeschools.net/). See all revised specifications attached to this document.

PPG/Pittsburg Paints ‘Seal Grip Int/Ext 100% Acrylic Universal Primer/Sealer 17-921’

[MT&E Lab # P2591] is considered to be in compliance with the new stain block test

acceptability criteria included in MP-38.3 because it yielded results which could be qualified

as equal to those obtained for the standard reference material.

.....................................................................................................................................................................

Following one of the agreements reached at the previous committee meeting, Mr. Bruce Alvin

introduced the newly revised version of the „Zero VOC‟ FSPMA specifications originally

submitted by INSL-X/Coronado Paints: a) Interior „Zero VOC‟ Odorless Acrylic Primer, b) „Zero

VOC‟ Interior Flat, c) „Zero VOC‟ Interior Eggshell, and d) „Zero VOC‟ Interior Semi-Gloss.

Mr. Alvin, Mr. Dan O‟Brien, Mr. Mark Alan, Mr. Doug Durham, Ms. Doraida Diaz, Mr. Robert

Benson, and Mr. Dick Doyle participated in a lengthy discussion in which the following „Zero

VOC‟-related topics addressed:

1. The convenience of using „Zero VOC‟ versus „Low VOC‟ products considering the higher

cost of the first was discussed as well as if it would be advisable for vendors to spend

money in certifying products for which no future demand is anticipated from school

districts.

2. Present budget restrictions for the school districts are an important factor to take into

account and several educational members expressed that the demand for these special paints

could be years out but also that it might be a good idea to have „Zero VOC‟ specs ready in

the event unexpected demand does arise.

http://www.fspma.com/

http://materials.dadeschools.net/

– L-1237-DD – August 1, 2008

3. There is apparently no clear definition of what a “green” paint is and LEED3-certified work

only requires low VOC content (i.e. approximately a maximum VOC allowable

concentration of 50g/L). On the other hand, „Zero VOC‟ paints could be favorable in LEED

projects since they would allow more latitude for higher VOC-emitting products in other

parts of the project in order to meet overall compliance requirements.

4. If the committee decides to continue the process of including „Zero VOC‟ FSPMA

categories, a final revision of all quantitative and qualitative parameters included in these

proposed specs along with acceptance criteria and specified individual methods should be

conducted by a sub-committee conformed by vendors. Special emphasis should be put in

revising the maximum VOC acceptable limit of 5 g/L included in all proposed „Zero VOC‟

specs and the indicated standard method should be clearly indicated.

5. There is only one active „Low VOC‟ FSPMA paint specification - MP-39.0 – „Latex-Base,

Low Odor, Low VOC Eggshell, Interior White and Tints‟- It would probably be more

prudent to withdraw MP-39.0 and add VOC limits to existing interior wall paint specs than

adding several paint „Low VOC‟ paint specification categories.


Mr. Bruce Alvin, from INSL-X/Coronado Paints, and Mr. Robert Benson & Mr. Dick Doyle

from TKO Waterproof Coatings will conform a sub-committee for the complete revision of the

‘Zero VOC’ FSPMA specifications originally submitted by Coronado: a) Interior ‘Zero VOC’

Odorless Acrylic Primer, b) ‘Zero VOC’ Interior Flat, c) ‘Zero VOC’ Interior Eggshell, and d)

‘Zero VOC’ Interior Semi-Gloss. Mr. Alvin will e-mail Ms. Diaz an electronic copy of the

resulting proposed versions so they could be included in the next committee meeting report.

FSPMA MP-39.0 – ‘Latex-Base, Low Odor, Low VOC Eggshell, Interior White and Tints’ will

be withdrawn and no additional samples will be accepted for certification under this category.

This information will be clearly posted by Ms. Diaz on both the official FSPMA website

(http://www.fspma.com/) and the MT&E website (http://materials.dadeschools.net/). The two

brands currently-approved under MP-39.0 will remain posted as usual until their respective

FSPMA certification expiration dates as long as annual posting confirmation fees are timely

paid.

The agenda of the upcoming September, 2008 committee meeting shall include a point to discuss

the convenience of adding maximum allowable VOC limits to existing FSPMA interior wall

paint specifications in order to actively move towards more environmentally-friendly products

without reducing the minimum performance level required at school sites.

.....................................................................................................................................................................

The committee reviewed in detail each of the proposed changes recommended for the following

FSPMA specifications: 1) MP-5.7-„ Enamel, Alkyd, Gloss, White and Tints‟, 2) MP-6.11-‘ Exterior-

Interior Enamel, Latex-Base, Semi-Gloss, Whites and Tints‟, 3) MP-14.4-„Primer Coating, Latex

Conditioner For Chalking Exterior Surface‟, 4) MP-32.3- „Interior Enamel, Latex-Base, Semi-Gloss,

Whites and Tints‟, 5) MP-44.2-„Acrylic Base Interior Textured Coating Aggregate and Non-

Aggregate‟, and 6) MP-56.2-„ Elastomeric Roof Paint‟. The changes include corrections as well as

testing procedures and acceptance criteria revisions proposed by different vendors and MT&E. No

additional changes were recommended during the meeting and all members supported the revisions

included in the report.

standard to support and certify successful green building design, construction and operations. LEED provides a nationally

recognized certification system to promote integrated, whole-building design practices in the building industry.



– L-1237-DD – August 1, 2008


The changes recommended for MP-5.7-‘ Enamel, Alkyd, Gloss, White and Tints’, MP-6.11-‘

Exterior-Interior Enamel, Latex-Base, Semi-Gloss, Whites and Tints’, MP-14.4-‘Primer

Coating, Latex Conditioner For Chalking Exterior Surface’, MP-32.3- ‘Interior Enamel, Latex-

Base, Semi-Gloss, Whites and Tints’, MP-44.2-‘Acrylic Base Interior Textured Coating

Aggregate and Non-Aggregate’, and MP-56.2-‘ Elastomeric Roof Paint’ were approved.

The newly FSPMA revised specifications will be prepared by Ms. Diaz from MT&E and posted

on both the official FSPMA website (http://www.fspma.com/) and the MT&E website


...............................................................................................................................................................

The final version of the revised proposed FSPMA specifications MP-57 – „Agricultural Oil-Based

Roof Coating Sealer‟ and MP-58 – „Agricultural Oil-Based Architectural Coating Sealer‟ were

presented by Mr. Robert Benson & Mr. Dick Doyle from TKO Waterproof Coatings.

Mr. Velazquez and Ms. Diaz from MT&E pointed out that no units were indicated for several

quantitative parameters like solar reflectance, flame spread, and thermal emmittance. Also, no Dry

Film Thickness (DFT) was indicated for the permeability test on proposed MP-58. There was a general

consensus among members to approve the proposed specs as long as TKO provides the missing

information for its inclusion in these minutes4.

Committee Agreement (unanimous):

The committee approved the inclusion of two new FSPMA specifications: MP-57–‘Agricultural

Oil-Based Roof Coating Sealer’ and MP-58–‘Agricultural Oil-Based Architectural Coating

Sealer’ as long as TKO provides some information related to missing quantitative parameter

units and permeability DFT for MP-584.

Ms. Diaz from MT&E will post the newly-approved MP-57 and MP-58 on both the official

FSPMA website (http://www.fspma.com/) and the MT&E website


...............................................................................................................................................................

Mr. Alvin addressed the committee explaining that INSL-X/Coronado Paints had sent a second re-test

sample for MT&E Lab # P2587, which had failed compliance testing/evaluation as per MP-28.3,

because he had received information regarding the fact that MT&E had apparently temporarily

misplaced the first re-test sample sent by Coronado. Even though he had been informed by MT&E

personnel that the first re-test sample MT&E Lab # P2589 had also been tested and failed, he would

like to request the committee to consider the possibility of instructing MT&E to also test/evaluate the

second re-test sample considering the confusion surrounding this brand evaluation.

Ms. Mercedes Leon and Mr. Alberto Velazquez from MT&E intervened to explain the committee that

there was no misplacement of the first re-test sample sent because the original P2587 had failed to

meet the viscosity acceptance criteria. The re-test sample for P2587 (P-2589) was received, tested,

found not to be in compliance (also because it did not meet the viscosity acceptable range for MP-

4 Mr. Dick Doyle from TKO submitted the requested technical information on July 31, 2008 and it is already included in the

newly-approved MP-57 and MP-58 specifications attached to this document.

28.3), and the vendor was informed of the re-test failing results before the second re-test sample

mentioned by Mr. Alvin was delivered to MT&E.

Ms. Leon and Mr. Velazquez expressed that they do not think a second re-test sample testing should be

allowed because there was no confusion whatsoever and the results reported for the referenced samples

are reliable and appropriately backed by laboratory reference standards within the working range. Mr.

O‟Brien and Ms. Diaz both expressed their concern in relation to the creation of a precedent which

could be used by other vendors in the future to demand second re-tests for brands submitted for

FSPMA certification without having any valid reason behind it other than the fact that their product(s)

failed twice.

Committee Agreement (unanimous):

The second re-test sample sent by INSL-X/Coronado Paints for failing MT&E Lab # P2587 will

not be tested by MT&E and the results obtained for the first re-test sample (P-2589) will

remain as the official re-test results recorded for this brand.

...............................................................................................................................................................

This concluded business transacted at the July 25th

, 2008 meeting of the FSPMA Paint Committee. The

next committee meeting has been scheduled for Tuesday September 16th, 2008 during the FSPMA

Annual Conference to be held at the Daytona Beach Hilton.

B. FLEXIBILITY. Draw down a film of the enamel on a flat, tin-plated, 31 gage, steel panel with an

applicator which produces a dry film 0.003 in. thick. Air dry for 18 hours, bake for 5 hours at 105C., cool for 1/2 hour at room temperature, and bend over a 1/8 in. mandrel. Examine the coating for cracks over the area of the bend in a strong light at 7X magnification.

C. RECOATING. Draw down the paint on a sealed chart with an applicator which produces a wet

film 0.003 inches thick as in Method 4061.2 of Fed. Test Method Std. No. 141C. Air dry for 24 hours under room conditions. Apply a second coat perpendicular to the first coat, and then air dry as before. Examine for compliance with II.C.7.

D. SAG RESISTANCE. Mount a sealed Morest or Leneta test chart on a vacuum plate. Set the Lenta

Anti-Sag Meter at the top of the test chart with the open side of the blade facing the operator. Place a suitable quantity of the enamel directly in front of the blade, and draw down the enamel. The completed draw down shall then be immediately removed from the vacuum plate and placed in a vertical position with the stripes horizontal, the thinnest stripe being at the top. Allow to dry at room temperature in this position, and then determine the Anti-Sag Index as follows:

The lowest (heaviest film thickness) stripe which does not touch the next lower stripe is the Index Stripe. Fractional values are obtained by adding to the index value a fractional value based on the degree to which the stripe below the index stripe has merged with the next stripe as follows: DEGREE OF MERGER ADD Complete (intervening block is completely wetted) 0.0 Not complete, but definitely more than half 0.2 Approximately half 0.4 Appreciable, but definitely less than half 0.6 Slight, just touching 0.8

E. STORAGE STABILITY IN PARTIALLY FULL CONTAINER. Determine skinning after 48 hours in

accordance with Federal Test Method Std. 141C, Method 3021.1, except use a 3/4 filled 1 pint, multiple friction-top can. Check for compliance with II.C.2.

F. EXPOSURE TEST. Three 6" X 12" panels shall be prepared using smooth-sanded, clear, yellow

pine strips prepared as in ASTM D 358-83 and three 6" X 12" panels shall be prepared using clean, degreased cold roll steel strips prepared as in ASTM D 1014. Application shall be by brushing only, and shall follow the manufacturer's label instructions as closely as possible. Any primer or other product which is recommended by the manufacturer for use in preparing the surface for application of the test sample shall be furnished with the sample. Check for compliance with II.C.12.

IV. METHODS OF SAMPLING AND INSPECTION: A. SAMPLING. At the option of the purchaser, representative samples shall be taken from

deliveries made under this invitation and submitted for quality control testing. If the purchaser's sample fails, the manufacturer shall pay for the actual cost of testing. Failure of any sample so taken to comply with the specification requirements shall invalidate any purchase contract made under this invitation unless the manufacturer requests a repeat quality control test. This second sample shall be from the same batch. The manufacturer shall also pay for the second quality control test should the sample fail, and this invalidates any purchase contract made under this invitation. If the second sample passes, the manufacturer

Attachment


is not responsible for paying the actual cost of the test, and results obtained from the second quality control test shall prevail.

B. INSPECTION. Physical inspection of package, condition, quantity, and labeling shall be made at

point of delivery by the purchaser. MSDS shall be submitted with each shipment in accordance with the Florida Right-to-Know Law, Chapter 442, Florida Statutes, and shall be identical to the MSDS supplied for initial certification.
