(S) Multi-colored coating--A coating that exhibits
more than one color when applied, is packaged in a single container,
and applied in a single coat.
(T) Off-site job shop--A non-manufacturer of metal
or plastic parts and products that applies coatings to such products
at a site under contract with one or more parties that operate under
separate ownership and control.
(U) Optical coating--A coating applied to an optical
lens.
(V) Pail (metal)--Any cylindrical metal shipping container
with a capacity equal to or greater than 1 gallon but less than 12
gallons and constructed of 29 gauge or heavier material.
(W) Pan-backing coating--A coating applied to the surface
of pots, pans, or other cooking implements that are exposed directly
to a flame or other heating elements.
(X) Prefabricated architectural component coating--A
coating applied to metal parts and products that are to be used as
an architectural structure.
(Y) Pretreatment coating--A coating that contains no
more than 12% solids by weight and at least 0.50% acid by weight;
is used to provide surface etching; and is applied directly to metal
surfaces to provide corrosion resistance, adhesion, and ease of stripping.
(Z) Repair coating--A coating used to re-coat portions
of a previously coated product that has sustained mechanical damage
to the coating following normal surface coating processes.
(AA) Safety-indicating coating--A coating that changes
physical characteristics, such as color, to indicate unsafe conditions.
(BB) Shock-free coating--A coating applied to electrical
components to protect the user from electric shock. The coating has
characteristics of being low-capacitance and high-resistance and having
resistance to breaking down under high voltage.
(CC) Silicone-release coating--A coating that contains
silicone resin and is intended to prevent food from sticking to metal
surfaces such as baking pans.
(DD) Solar-absorbent coating--A coating that has as
its primary purpose the absorption of solar radiation.
(EE) Stencil coating--A pigmented coating or ink that
is rolled or brushed onto a template or stamp in order to add identifying
letters, symbols, or numbers.
(FF) Touch-up coating--A coating used to cover minor
coating imperfections appearing after the main surface coating process.
(GG) Translucent coating--A coating that contains binders
and pigment and formulated to form a colored, but not opaque, film.
(HH) Vacuum-metalizing coating--The undercoat applied
to the substrate on which the metal is deposited or the overcoat applied
directly to the metal film. Vacuum metalizing or physical vapor deposition
is the process whereby metal is vaporized and deposited on a substrate
in a vacuum chamber.
(7) Motor vehicle materials--The following definitions
apply to this surface coating category.
(A) Motor vehicle bedliner--A multi-component coating
used in a process that is not an automobile or light-duty truck manufacturing
coating process and is applied to a cargo bed after the application
of topcoat to provide additional durability and chip resistance.
(B) Motor vehicle cavity wax--A coating used in a process
that is not an automobile or light-duty truck manufacturing coating
process and is applied into the cavities of the vehicle primarily
for the purpose of enhancing corrosion protection.
(C) Motor vehicle deadener--A coating used in a process
that is not an automobile or light-duty truck manufacturing coating
process and is applied to selected vehicle surfaces primarily for
the purpose of reducing the sound of road noise in the passenger compartment.
(D) Motor vehicle gasket/sealing material--A fluid
used in a process that is not an automobile or light-duty truck manufacturing
coating process and is applied to coat a gasket or replace and perform
the same function as a gasket. Automobile and light-duty truck gasket/gasket
sealing material includes room temperature vulcanization seal material.
(E) Motor vehicle lubricating wax/compound--A protective
lubricating material used in a process that is not an automobile or
light-duty truck manufacturing coating process and is applied to vehicle
hubs and hinges.
(F) Motor vehicle sealer--A high viscosity material
used in a process that is not an automobile or light-duty truck manufacturing
coating process and is generally, but not always, applied in the paint
shop after the body has received an electrodeposition primer coating
and before the application of subsequent coatings (e.g., primer-surfacer).
The primary purpose of motor vehicle sealer is to fill body joints
completely so that there is no intrusion of water, gases, or corrosive
materials into the passenger area of the body compartment. Such materials
are also referred to as sealant, sealant primer, or caulk.
(G) Motor vehicle trunk interior coating--A coating
used in a process that is not an automobile or light-duty truck manufacturing
coating process and is applied to the trunk interior to provide chip
protection.
(H) Motor vehicle underbody coating--A coating used
in a process that is not an automobile or light-duty truck manufacturing
coating process and is applied to the undercarriage or firewall to
prevent corrosion or provide chip protection.
(8) Paper, film, and foil coating--The coating of paper
and pressure-sensitive tapes (regardless of substrate and including
paper, fabric, and plastic film), related web coating processes on
plastic film (including typewriter ribbons, photographic film, and
magnetic tape), metal foil (including decorative, gift wrap, and packaging),
industrial and decorative laminates, abrasive products (including
fabric coated for use in abrasive products), and flexible packaging.
(A) Paper, film, and foil coating includes the application
of a continuous layer of a coating material across the entire width
or any portion of the width of a paper, film, or foil web substrate
to:
(i) provide a covering, finish, or functional or protective
layer to the substrate;
(ii) saturate the substrate for lamination; or
