Current through 2024-29, July 17, 2024
A.
Applied solids
. "Applied
				solids" means solids which remain on the substrate being coated or
				painted.
B.
Capture
				system.
"Capture system" means the equipment, including hoods, ducts,
				fans, etc. used to contain, capture, or transport a pollutant to control
				device.
C.
Coating.
"Coating" means a material applied onto or impregnated into a substrate
				for decorative, protective, or functional purposes. Such materials include, but
				are not limited to, solvent-borne coatings, waterborne coatings, adhesives, wax
				coatings, wax laminations, extrusion coatings, extrusion laminations, 100
				percent solid adhesives, UV cured coatings, electron beam cured coatings, hot
				melt coatings, and cold seal coatings. A material used to form an unsupported
				substrate, such as calendaring of vinyl, blown film, cast film, extruded film,
				and co-extruded film is not considered a coating.
D.
Coating line
. "Coating line"
				means a series of coating applicators, flash-off areas, and any associated
				curing/drying equipment between one or more unwind or feed stations and one or
				more rewind or cutting stations.
E.
Knife coating.
"Knife coating" means the application of a coating
				material to a substrate by means of drawing the substrate beneath a knife that
				spreads the coating evenly over the full width of the substrate.
F.
Meyer rod coating.
"Meyer rod
				coating" means a system for coating which meters and spreads the coating onto a
				substrate by means of a rod which is spirally wound with wire. The metering can
				be either stationary or rotating, and the size of the wire determines the
				amount of coating left on the substrate.
G.
Oven.
"Oven" means a chamber
				within which heat is used to bake, cure, polymerize, and/or dry a surface
				coating.
H.
Off machine
				coater.
"Off machine coater" means a coating operation not in the
				continuous line of a paper making machine.
I.
Paper, film and foil coating.
"Paper, film and foil coating" means the application of a continuous layer of
				coating across the width or any portion of the width of a paper, film or foil
				substrate to create a functional or protective layer, saturate a substrate for
				lamination, or provide adhesion between two substrates for
				lamination.
J.
Pressure
				sensitive adhesive.
"Pressure sensitive adhesive" means an adhesive that
				forms a bond when pressure is applied, without activation via solvent, water or
				heat.
K.
Pressure sensitive
				tape and label coating.
"Pressure sensitive tape and label coating"
				means the application of a pressure sensitive adhesive to a film carrier or
				face material.
L.
Roll
				coating.
"Roll coating" means the application of a coating material to a
				substrate by means of hard rubber or steel rolls.
M.
Rotogravure coating.
"Rotogravure coating" means the application of a coating material to a
				substrate by means of a roll coating technique in which the pattern to be
				applied is etched on the coating roll. The coating material is picked up in
				these recessed areas and is transferred to the substrate.
N.
Substrate.
"Substrate" means
				the surface to which a coating is applied.
