PROPOSED RULE 1144 VANISHING OILS AND RUST INHIBITORS

(a) Purpose The purpose of Rule 1144 is to redu ce volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from the use of vanishing oils a nd rust inhibitors at industrial facilities.

(b) Applicability The rule applies to all pers ons who use vanishing oils and rust inhibitors that come into direct contact with produc ts and parts during manufacture and assembly; and all manufacturers and supplie rs who supply, sell, or offer for sale vanishing oils and rust inhib itors for use at industrial facilities. This rule shall apply to all VOC containing fluids used for metal working, metal removal or lubricating operations where the vanishi ng oil comes into direct contact with products and parts including, but not lim ited to, broaching, cutting, drilling, drawing, forming, forging, grindi ng, heading, honing, lapping, milling, quenching, rolling, stamping, tapping, threading, turning and wire drawing. The rule also applies to VOC containing flui ds used for rust and corrosion prevention and inhibition during the manufacture and assembly of products and parts. The provisions of this rule sh all not apply to repair, maintenance or research operations.

(c) Definitions For the purpose of this rule, the following definitions shall apply: (1) ASSEMBLED AIRCRAFT is any mach ine that is a complete vehicle, assembly of parts at an aircraft assembly facility or major partial section including wheel wells, fuselage sections , pressure decks, wings, blades or cockpit, designed to travel through the air, without leaving the earth’s atmosphere, including airplanes, ba lloons, dirigibles, helicopters and
missiles. (2) DIRECT-CONTACT LUBRICANT is a fluid that comes into direct contact with the product or part duri ng manufacturing or assembly and is
used to reduce heat and friction and to prolong the life of machine tools and machinery. (3) EXEMPT COMPOUND is as defined in Rule 102.Rule 1144 (Cont.) (Adopted March 6, 2009)

1144-2 (4) GRAMS OF VOC PER LITER OF MA TERIAL is the weight of VOC per
volume of material and can be cal culated by the following equation:

Grams of VOC per liter of material =



### WW W s w es − − 

### V m

Where: Ws = Weight of volatile compounds in grams Ww = Weight of water in grams Wes = Weight of exempt compounds in grams Vm = Volume of material in liters

(5) LAPPING is a manufacturing method that employs particles of an abrasive material, suspended in a li quid carrier, between rotating plates. (6) MANUFACTURING is the use of tools and labor to make things for sale. (7) METAL WORKING FLUID is a fl uid functioning in the tool and workpiece interface used to improve product quality and carry away debris and may consist of straight oils, so luble oils and s ynthetic and semisynthetic fluids. (8) RUST INHIBITOR is an inhibitor, preventative or protectant used to prevent the corrosion of metal surfaces. It is applied independently of any metal working, metal removal, lubr icating or cleaning application. (9) SINKER ELECTRICAL DISCHA RGE MACHINING (EDM) is a method of removing material by a series of rapid recurri ng electric arcing discharges between an electrode and the workpiece, in the presence of an energetic electric field, in an insulating oil. (10) SPACE VEHICLE is a vehicle de signed to travel beyond the earth’s atmosphere. (11) SOLICIT is to require for use or to specify, by written or oral contract. (12) VANISHING OIL is a dire ct-contact lubricant, me tal working fluid or oil with a flash point less than 200 °F (93°C). (13) VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUND ( VOC) is as defined in Rule 102.

(B) The prohibition of sale shall not apply to any manufacturer or supplier of vanishing oil or rust inhibitor provided: (i) The product was sold to an i ndependent distributor that was informed in writing by the manufacturer about the compliance status of th e product with Rule 1144. (3) Sell-Through Provision Any vanishing oil or rust inhibitor that is manufactured prior to the effective date of the applicable limit, and that has a VOC content above that limit (but not above the limit in effect on the date of manufacture), may be sold, supplied, offered for sale, or applied for up to six months after the specified effective date.

(e) Control Equipment In lieu of complying with the requirem ents of subdivision (d), a person may operate an emission control system provided:Rule 1144 (Cont.) (Adopted March 6, 2009)

1144-4 (1) The control device reduces VOC emissions from an emission collection system by at least 95 percent by weight or the output of the air pollution
control device is no more than 5 PPM VOC by volume calculated as carbon with no dilution; and (2) The emission collection system has been demonstrated to collect at least 90 percent by weight of the VOC emi ssions generated by the sources of
