Division BAT-associated solvent use levels and BAT-associated emission levels for VOC
United Kingdom
Both the solvent use rates associated with the use of water-borne coatings in combination with an efficient application system and the BAT-AEL range for specific VOC emissions where an extraction ventilation and abatement system is used as an alternative to the use of water-borne finishing materials are given in Table 5.

BAT-associated solvent use levels and BAT-AELs for VOC emissions
| BAT-AEL range expressed as total carbon. | |||
| Parameter | Type of production | BAT-associated levels | |
|---|---|---|---|
| g/m2(annual average values per unit of finished leather) | |||
| Solvent use levels | Where water-borne coatings are used in combination with an efficient application system | Upholstery and automotive leather | 10-25 |
| Footwear, garment, and leathergoods leathers | 40-85 | ||
| Coated leathers (coating thickness > 0,15 mm) | 115-150 | ||
| VOC emissions | Where an extraction ventilation and abatement system is used as an alternative to the use of water-borne finishing materials | 9-23f1 | |
