SECTION 3.08 POLYESTER, VINYLESTER, GELCOAT, AND 

RESIN OPERATIONS Adopted 06/13/91 (TOO) ',p -

Revised 12/09/93 (769) h 

(a) This section shall apply to manufacturing operations involving the 

use of polyester, vinylester, gelcoat, or resin in which the styrene 

monomer is a reactive monomer for the resin. 

(b) It shall be unlawful for any person to cause or allow the application 

of polyester resin, vinylester resin, gelcoat, or any other resin 

unless the operation is conducted inside an enclosed area that is 

registered with the Agency. The exhaust from the operation shall 

be vented to the atmosphere through a vertical stack. For spraycoating applications of polyester resin, vinylester resin, gelcoat, or 

any otner resin, the enclosed area shall incorporate a dry filter to 

control the overspray. 

(c) It shall be unlawful for any person to use a chopper gun or spray 

gun to apply polyester resin, vinylester resin, gelcoat, or any other 

resin, unless the coating is applied by the use of one of the 

following methods: 

(1) High volume, low pressure (0.1 to 10 psig air pressure for 

atomization) spray equipment, 

(2) Electrostatic spray equipment, 

(3) Airless spray equipment, or 

(4) Air-assisted airless spray equipment. 

(d) The provisions of Section 3.08(c) shall not apply to touchup and 

repair using a hand-held, air atomized spray gun that has a 

container for resin as part of the gun. 

(e) It shall be unlawful for any person to use any VOC-containing 

material for the cleanup of spray equipment, including resin lines, 

unless equipment for collecting the VOC-containing material and 

minimizing the evaporation to the atmosphere is employed. All 

VOC-containing materials that are flushed througn tne spray 

equipment or lines during cleanup shall be collected in a closed 

container. 

(f) It shall be unlawful for any person to use open containers for the 

storage or disposal of VOC-containing materials. Such containers 

and tanks shall be kept closed except when being cleaned or when 

materials are being added, mixed, or removed. Closed containers 

for solvent rag or paper disposal are required. Empty containers as 

defined in WAC 173-303-160 are exempt.

printing upon paper that is subsequently formed into books, 

magazmes, catalogues, brochures, directories, newspaper 

supplements and other types of printed materials. 

(ff) ROTOGRAVURE PRINTING means the application of ink to a 

substrate by means of a roll printing technique that involves an 

intaglio or recessed image areas in the form of cells.

employs a condenser to liquify and recover solvent vapors 

evaporated in a closed-loop, recirculating stream of heated air. 

(hh) SPECIALTY COATINGS are coatings that are necessary due to 

unusual job performance requirements. Said coatings include, but

pipe or nozzle must be totally submerged when the liquid 

^ level is 6" from the bottom of the tank; or 

(2) Where the tank is filled from the side, the discharge pipe or 

nozzle must be totally submerged when the liquid level is 18" 

from the bottom of the tank. 

(jj) TEMPORARY PROTECTIVE COATING means a coating applied 

to an aerospace component to protect it from mechanical and 

environmental damage during manufacturing.
