| | EPOXY PRIMER MIL-P-23377 AND MIL-P-85582 Q. Is the use of MIL-P-23377, MIL-P-85582 epoxy polyamide primers prohibited or strictly regulated in Southern California? A. Neither of the two primers is prohibited in any state, not even in Southern California. However, in CA you are obligated to use formulations that have low VOCs. In the Aerospace Rule 1129 I believe the limit is 2.9 lbs/gal, less water and exempt solvent, whereas in the Miscellaneous Metal Parts Rule 1107, the limit is 2.8 lbs/gal, less water and exempt solvent. If you fall into both rules you should go by the lower limit, but formulations are available to meet these requirements.
