SOURCE INFORMATION
General Description
Fashion Cabinet Manufacturing, Incorporated (Fashion Cabinet) manufactures and finishes kitchen
cabinets. Various wood products (lumber, fiberboard, and plywood) are milled, sanded, and assembled
into boxes and doors. The fabricated products are then sprayed with various combinations of sealer, stain,
and topcoats in spray booths. Dust from the milling and sanding operations is captured by baghouses and
vented indoors or outdoors, depending on the time of year. The surface coating lines are controlled by
particulate filters, HVLP guns, and VOC and HAP emission limitations. Various natural gas-fired heaters
rated less than 5.0 MMBtu/hr are used throughout the facility.

Project Description
Fashion Cabinet has requested an administrative amendment to Approval Order (AO)
DAQE-AN104820002-22, dated November 2, 2022, to reduce the VOC and HAPs limits outlined in
Condition II.B.2.a.
Fashion Cabinets' emissions of VOCs and HAPs are associated with the application of various coatings,
sealers, and stains to fabricated cabinets produced within the facility. A significant portion of the
customer cabinet orders produced by Fashion Cabinets have a paint-grade finish, in which cases a base
"primer coating" is applied to the surface of the cabinets prior to the application of the top coatings.
Fashion Cabinet will be switching to a primer coating with a lower VOC and HAP content than what is
currently used.
The changes will result in a net decrease in all emissions. This project meets the requirements of Utah
Administrative Code R307-401-12, Reduction in Air Pollutants, and does not require a public comment
period.
SUMMARY OF EMISSIONS
The emissions listed below are an estimate of the total potential emissions from the source. Some
rounding of emissions is possible.

SUBJECT: ADMINISTRATIVE AMENDMENT REQUEST
RE: FASHION CABINETS MANUFACTURING, INC. – CABINET MANUFACTURER
(UDAQ Approval Order: DAQE-AN104820001-21)
5440 West Axel Park Road
West Jordan, UT 84081
Dear Mr. Bird:
On behalf of Fashion Cabinets Manufacturing, Inc. (Fashion Cabinets), RMEC Environmental, Inc. (RMEC)
is hereby providing the Utah Division of Air Quality (UDAQ) with the following request for an
administrative amendment of the above-referenced Approval Order (AO). This request is in accordance
with the provisions for a “Reduction in Air Pollutants” as per Utah Administrative Code R304-401-12. The
basis for this request is due to a reduction in the emissions of volatile organic compound (VOCs) and
hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) associated with primer coatings that are used in the facility’s cabinet
manufacturing and coating operations.
DESCRIPTION OF MODIFICATION
Background Information
Fashion Cabinets’ emissions of VOCs are associated with application of various coatings, sealers, and stains
to fabricated cabinets produced within the facility. A significant portion of the customer cabinet orders
produced by Fashion Cabinets have a paint grade finish, in which cases a base “primer coating” is applied
to the surface of the cabinets prior to the application of the top coatings.
In recent months, Fashion Cabinets has transitioned to using Sher-Wood® 5421W Gen II Universal Primer
as the basecoat for all paint grade cabinet finishes. Sher-Wood® 5421W is a water-based primer containing
only 0.2% VOC (0.025 lbs/gallon). Prior to this transition, Fashion Cabinets used Sher-Wood® Kemvar®
5411S Wood Surfacer as the primer for all paint grade cabinet finishes. Sher-Wood® Kemvar® 5411S is
an oil-based primer containing 34.3% VOC (3.74 lbs/gallon) in addition to 5.0% xylene (0.545 lbs/gallon)
and 0.80 ethylbenzene (0.087 lbs/gallon). Copies of SDSs for both primer products are provided in
Attachment A.
After several months of production, Fashion Cabinets has validated the performance of the new, low-VOC
primer and intends to continue using this, or similar products, for all paint grade cabinet orders going
forward. With that decision, Fashion Cabinets is hereby requesting a decrease in VOC and HAP emissions
limitations as specified in the current AO.
IDEQ-AQD RMEC PJ23E-4681
Page 2 of 3 May 21, 2024
Calculation of Emission Reductions
Primer usage at the facility can fluctuate month-to-month and year-to-year depending on the prevalence of
cabinet orders with paint grade finishes. Based on historical emission tracking data, the most primer usage
in a 12-month rolling period was in the 2021 calendar year when 3,604 gallons of primer were applied.
Fashion Cabinets is requesting a reduction based on this historical maximum primer usage. Table 1, below,
provides a summary of changes in emissions in VOCs and HAPs based on the change in primer coatings:

REVISED VOC AND HAP EMISSION REQUIREMENTS
The revised VOC and HAP limitation for the proposed changes to the AO are presented in Table 2, below,
based on the net changes in emissions presented in Table 1:

CLOSING
In closing, we will clarify that no other changes in the facility details or site contact information are required
as part of the request.
