(31) Plastics--Synthetic materials chemically formed
by the polymerization of organic (carbon-based) substances. Plastics
are usually compounded with modifiers, extenders, or reinforcers and
are capable of being molded, extruded, cast into various shapes and
films, or drawn into filaments.
(32) Polyvinyl chloride plastic or PVC plastic--A polymer
of the chlorinated vinyl monomer that contains 57% chlorine.
(33) Polyvinyl chloride welding adhesive or PVC welding
adhesive--Any adhesive intended by the manufacturer for use in the
welding of polyvinyl chloride plastic pipe.
(34) Porous material--A substance that has tiny openings,
often microscopic, in which fluids may be absorbed or discharged,
including, but not limited to, paper and corrugated paperboard. For
the purposes of this definition, porous material does not include
wood.
(35) Pounds of volatile organic compounds (VOC) per
gallon of adhesive (minus water and exempt solvent)--The basis for
content limits for application processes that can be calculated by
the following equation:
Attached Graphic
(36) Pounds of volatile organic compounds (VOC) per
gallon of solids--The basis for content limits for application processes
that can be calculated by the following equation:
Attached Graphic
(37) Reinforced plastic composite--A composite material
consisting of plastic reinforced with fibers.
(38) Rubber--Any natural or manmade rubber substrate,
including, but not limited to, styrene-butadiene rubber, polychloroprene
(neoprene), butyl rubber, nitrile rubber, chlorosulfonated polyethylene,
and ethylene propylene diene terpolymer.
(39) Sheet rubber lining installation--The process
of applying sheet rubber liners by hand to metal or plastic substrates
to protect the underlying substrate from corrosion or abrasion. These
processes also include laminating sheet rubber to fabric by hand.
(40) Single-ply roof membrane--A prefabricated single
sheet of rubber, normally ethylene propylenediene terpolymer, that
is field-applied to a building roof using one layer of membrane material.
For the purposes of this definition, single-ply roof membrane does
not include membranes prefabricated from ethylene propylenediene monomer.
(41) Single-ply roof membrane installation and repair
adhesive--Any adhesive labeled for use in the installation or repair
of single-ply roof membrane. Installation includes, as a minimum,
attaching the edge of the membrane to the edge of the roof and applying
flashings to vents, pipes, and ducts that protrude through the membrane.
Repair includes gluing the edges of torn membrane together, attaching
a patch over a hole, and reapplying flashings to vents, pipes, or
ducts installed through the membrane.
(42) Single-ply roof membrane adhesive primer--Any
primer labeled for use to clean and promote adhesion of the single-ply
roof membrane seams or splices prior to bonding.
(43) Specialty adhesives--A contact adhesive that is
used to bond all of the following substrates to any surface: melamine
covered board, metal, unsupported vinyl, Teflon, ultra-high molecular
weight polyethylene, rubber, and wood veneer 1/16 inch or less in
thickness.
(44) Structural glazing--A process that includes the
application of adhesive to bond glass, ceramic, metal, stone, or composite
panels to exterior building frames.
(45) Subfloor installation--The installation of subflooring
material over floor joists, including the construction of any load-bearing
joists. Subflooring is covered by a finish surface material.
(46) Thin metal laminating adhesive--Any adhesive intended
by the manufacturer for use in bonding multiple layers of metal to
metal or metal to plastic in the production of electronic or magnetic
components in which the thickness of the bond line(s) is less than
0.25 mil.
(47) Tire repair--A process that includes expanding
a hole, tear, fissure, or blemish in a tire casing by grinding or
gouging, applying adhesive, and filling the hole or crevice with rubber.
(48) Undersea-based weapon system components--The fabrication
of parts, assembly of parts or completed units of any portion of a
missile launching system used on undersea ships.
(49) Waterproof resorcinol glue--A two-part resorcinol-resin-based
adhesive designed for applications where the bond line must be resistant
to conditions of continuous immersion in fresh or salt water.
