					 numbers.
(ii) For
					 automotive/transportation and business machine plastic parts surfaces stencil
					 coating, a coating that is applied over a stencil to a plastic part at a
					 thickness of one millimeter or less of coating solids.
(113) Substrate. The surface onto which a
					 coating is applied, or into which a coating is impregnated.
(114) Temporary total enclosure. An enclosure
					 that is not permanent; is constructed only to measure the capture efficiency of
					 pollutants emitted from a given source; and meets the requirements of
					 40 CFR 63.805(e)(1)(i)
					 through (iv) (see table 1, section 200.9 of
					 this Title).
(115) Texture coat. A
					 coating that is applied to a plastic part which, in its finished form, consists
					 of discrete raised spots of the coating.
(116) Tile-board. A premium interior wall
					 flat wood paneling product made of hardboard that is used in high moisture
					 areas of the home such as kitchens and bathrooms. Specifically, tile-board
					 meets the specifications for Class I hardboard as approved by the American
					 National Standards Institute.
(117)
					 Topcoat. Is defined based on coating process as follows:
(i) for automobile or light-duty truck
					 assembly topcoat, the final coating system applied to provide the final color
					 and/or a protective finish. The topcoat may be a monocoat color or
					 basecoat/clearcoat system. In-line repair and two-tone are parts of topcoat.
					 Topcoat operations may include other coating(s) (e.g., blackout, interior
					 color, etc.) that is (are) applied in the same spray booth(s);
(ii) for pleasure craft surface coating
					 topcoat, any final coating applied to the interior or exterior of a pleasure
					 craft;
(iii) for wood finishing
					 topcoat, any final coating applied to a wood or wood coated
					 substrate.
(118)
					 Touch-up coating. A coating used to cover minor coating imperfections appearing
					 after the main coating operation.
(119) Translucent coating. A coating which
					 contains binders and pigment, and is formulated to form a colored, but not
					 opaque, film.
(120) Trunk interior
					 coating. Is defined based on specific coating processes as follows:
(i) For automobile or light-duty truck
					 assembly trunk interior coating, a coating, used at a coating facility outside
					 of the primer-surfacer and topcoat operations, applied to the trunk interior to
					 provide chip protection.
(ii) For
					 motor vehicle truck interior coating, a coating, used at a facility that is not
					 an automobile or light-duty truck assembly coating facility, applied to the
					 trunk interior to provide chip protection.
(121) Two-component coating. A coating
					 requiring the addition of a separate reactive resin, commonly known as a
					 catalyst, before application to form an acceptable dry film.
(122) Underbody coating. A coating, applied
					 to the undercarriage or firewall to prevent corrosion and/or provide chip
					 protection.
(123) Vacuum-metalized
					 coating (miscellaneous metal and plastic parts). The undercoat applied to the
					 substrate on which the metal is deposited or the overcoat applied directly to
					 the metal film. Vacuum metalizing/physical vapor deposition (PVD) is the
					 process whereby metal is vaporized and deposited on a substrate in a vacuum
					 chamber.
(124) Vacuum-metalized
					 coating. Topcoats and basecoats that are used in the vacuum-metalizing
					 process.
(125) VOC content limits.
					 The permissible weight of VOC per volume of coating minus water and excluded
					 compounds at application as specified in the tables of section 228-1.4  of this
					 Subpart. The actual VOC content of the as applied coating is calculated as
					 follows:
Equation 1

where:
(VOC)a is the VOC content of a
						coating, as applied, expressed as weight of VOC per volume of coating minus
						water and excluded compounds (keeping units consistent).
(Wv)a is
						the weight of total volatiles per volume of an as applied coating.
(Ww)a is
						the weight of water per volume of an as applied coating.
(Vw)a is
						the volumes of water per volume of an as applied coating.
(We)a is
						the weight of excluded VOC per volume of an as applied coating.
(Ve)a is
						the volumes of excluded VOC per volume of an as applied
						coating.
(126) Wash coat. A
					 coating which contains binders that raise wood surfaces, prevent undesired
					 staining, and control penetration.
(127) Weatherstrip adhesive. An adhesive,
					 used at an automobile or light-duty truck assembly coating facility, applied to
					 weatherstripping materials for the purpose of bonding it to the surface of a
					 vehicle.
(128) Wood finishing.
					 Consists of the application of one or more coatings, colored or clear
					 (including but not limited to: stains, toners, wash-coats, sealers, and
					 topcoats), to wood products.
