- component product, the VOC content is VOC Regulatory as mixed or catalyzed.

If the c C oating contains silanes, siloxanes, or other ingredients that generate ethanol or other VOCs during the curing process, the VOC con tent must include the VOCs emitted during curing.

VOC REGULATORY: VOC Regulatory is the weight of VOC per volume of c C oating

, less the volume of water and exempt compounds. It is calculated with the following equation:

VOC Regulatory = (Ws

- Ww

- Wec)
(Vm

- Vw

- Vec)

Where: VOC Regulatory = grams of VOC per liter of c C oating, less water and exempt compounds (also known as “Coating VOC”)

Ws = weight of volatiles, in grams

Ww = weight of water, in grams

Wec = weight of exempt compounds, in grams

Vm = volume of c C oating , in liters

Vw = volume of water, in liters

Vec = volume of exempt compounds, in liters

WASTE HEAT RECOVERY BOILER: means w W aste h H eat r R ecovery b B oilers used

to recover sensible heat from unfired w W aste h H eat r R ecovery b B oilers and from the exhaust of any combustion e E quipment.

WATER TREATMENT ADDITIVES: any combination of chemicals used to treat cooling tower water. They include, but are not limited to, corrosion inhibitors antiscalants, dispersants and biocides.

WATERPROOFING CONCRETE/MASONRY SEALER: a clear or pigmented film

forming c C oating that is labeled and formulated for sealing concrete and masonry to provide resistance against water, alkalis, acids, ultraviolet light, and staining. Effective January 1, 2011, a c C oating meeting this definition will be subject to the applicable category in Table 424

- 2, except as provided in subsection D.2, Most Restrictive VOC

Limits found in Rule 424.

WATERPROOFING MEMBRANE: a clear or opaque c C oating that is labeled and formulated for application to concrete and masonry surfaces to provide a seamless waterproofing membrane that prevents any penetration of liquid water into the

substrate. Waterproofing Membranes are intended for the following wa terproofing applications: below

- grade surfaces, between concrete slabs, inside tunnels, inside concrete planters, and under flooring materials. Waterproofing Membranes must meet the following criteria:

1. c C oating must be applied in a single coat of at lea st 25 mils (at least 0.025 inch) dry film thickness; and

2. c C oating s must meet or exceed the requirements contained in ASTM C836

- 06, incorporated by reference in Rule 424, subsection G .5. s

.

The Waterproofing Membrane category does not include t T opcoats that are included in the Concrete/Masonry Sealer category (e.g., parking deck t T opcoats , pedestrian deck t

T opcoats , etc.).

WATERPROOFING SEALER: a c C oating labeled and formulated for application to a porous subs t rate for the primary purpose of preventing the penetration of water. Effective January 1, 2011, a c C oating meeting this definition will be subject to the applicable category in Table 424

- 2, except as provided in subsection D.2, Most

Restrictive VOC Limits found in Rule 424.

WIPE CLEANING: method of cleaning which utilizes a cloth, cotton swab or other
material, wetted with a n o O rganic s S olvent, which is physically rubbed on surface to be degreased.

WOOD COATINGS: c C oatings labeled and formulated for application to w W ood s S ub strates only. The Wood Coatings category includes the following clear and semitransparent c C oatings : l L acquers; v V arnishes; s S anding s S ealers; penetrating
oils; clear s S tains; wood conditioners used as undercoats; and wood sealers used as t

T opcoats. The Wood Coatings category also includes the following opaque wood c C oatings : opaque l L acquers ; opaque s S anding s S ealers ; and opaque l L acquer undercoaters. The Wood Coatings category does not include the following: clear

sealers that are la beled and formulated for use on concrete/masonry surfaces; or c C oatings intended for substrates other than wood.

Wood Coatings must be labeled “For Wood Substrates Only”, in accordance with Rule
424, subsection E .1 3.

WOOD PRESERVATIVE: a c C oating labeled and formulated to protect exposed wood from decay or insect attac k , that is registered with both the U

. S

. EPA under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (7 United States Code (U.S.C.) Section 136,
et seq .) and with the Californi a Department of Pesticide Regulation.

WOOD SUBSTRATE: a substrate made of wood, particleboard, plywood, medium density fiberboard, rattan, wicker, bamboo, or composite products with exposed wood grain. Wood Products do not include items comprised of simu lated wood.

ZINC

- RICH PRIMER: a c C oating that meets all of the following specifications:

1. c C oating contains at least 65 percent metallic zinc powder or zinc dust by weight of total solids; and

2. c C oating is formulated for application to metal substrates to provide a firm bond between the substrate and subsequent applications of c C oating s; and

3. c C oating is intended for professional use only and is labeled as such, in accordance with the labeling requirem ents in Rule 424, subsection E .1 4

.
