RULE §115.470Applicability and Definitions

  (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:

  (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) Structural glazing--A process that includes the application of adhesive to bond glass, ceramic, metal, stone, or composite panels to exterior building frames.

  (44) 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.

  (45) 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.

  (46) 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.

  (47) 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.

  (48) 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.
