## Plastic Parts and ProductsApplicability

- "Major" source of HAP which means that they have the potential to emit 10 tons/year of any one HAP or 25 tons/year of multiple HAP
- Use at least 100 gallons of material/year for the coating (includes paints, sealants, caulks, inks, adhesives, and maskants) of plastic
- Coating operation must not be specifically covered by another NESHAP (e.g., in-mold/gel coating are covered under the Reinforced Plastic Composites NESHAP).

## Plastic Parts and ProductsCurrent MACT Floor Approach

**4 Subcategories**
- Assembled On-Road Vehicle
- General Use
- Headlamp
- Thermoplastic Olefin (TPO)
**Covers only “post-mold” coating operations (i.e., no gel/in-mold coating) **
**Average of all materials used in coating related operations**
**Annual average calculated on a rolling monthly basis**
**Calculated using MSDS information**

## Plastic Parts & ProductsDefinitions (continued)

***General Use--***Coating operations that do not meet the definition of assembled on-road vehicle, headlamp, or TPO coating operation.
***Headlamp—***Coating operations where coatings are applied to the surface of automotive headlamp components, including the application of reflective argent coatings and clear topcoats.  Headlamp coating does not include any coating operation performed on an assembled on-road vehicle.
