Got to agree with Brian's' sentiments here.
If you're being told your VOC-free process is a fire hazard then it's
doubtful it's VOC-free or, your insurance/fire inspectors leave a lot to be
desired. Though I suppose in certain circumstances with a spray system there
could be an explosion risk.
Could it be your process is low-VOC and not VOC-free?
Although these terms are frequently used and switched around as though they
mean the same they are definitely not the same thing.

Excuse me, a water spray without VOCs (and all flammable liquids are
VOCs, by definition) is a fire hazard????????????????????????? Wow, I'd
better put sprinklers in over my garden irrigation system, oh! but what
liquid can I use in the sprinklers?
