Greetings
My project specifications call for painting the visible internal portions of duct outlets in dull black. Unfortunately I have no further details regarding this paint. I am concerned about the impact this paint can have on the health of the occupants because these are ventilation ducts (office fresh air). Is there a certification mark I should be looking for like low-VOC/lead?
The project is an office commercial building and the ducts are made of galvanized sheet to ASTM A 653.
Also I know there is an ASTM guide for treatment of zinc-coated steel surfaces for painting (D 2092) but does anyone know if are there paints that adhere directly to the zinc coat? It will might make application easier.
Much obliged for sharing your professional opinions.
