NOTES:
1. This system guide often refers to a “series” of products (e.g. Carbozinc 11 Series) where you may select the specific product for your application within this
equivalent family. This “series” typically includes product versions that meet regional VOC regulations (e.g. Carbozinc 11 VOC) as well as product versions
that offer faster cure (e.g. Carbozinc 11 FC). You can be assured that all the products within a “series” offer the same performance characteristics. Please
consult your Carboline Sales Representative for specific recommendations.
2. Please consult your Carboline Sales Representative for specific recommendations to meet regional environmental regulations. Carboline offers many
products with reduced VOC and HAPs.
