(D) Business machine--A device that uses electronic
or mechanical methods to process information, perform calculations,
print or copy information, or convert sound into electrical impulses
for transmission. This definition includes devices listed in Standard
Industrial Classification codes 3572, 3573, 3574, 3579, and 3661 and
photocopy machines, a subcategory of Standard Industrial Classification
code 3861.
(E) Clear coating--A coating that lacks color and opacity
or is transparent and that uses the undercoat as a reflectant base
or undertone color.
(F) Coating of plastic parts of automobiles and trucks--The
coating of any plastic part that is or will be assembled with other
parts to form an automobile or truck.
(G) Coating of business machine plastic parts--The
coating of any plastic part that is or will be assembled with other
parts to form a business machine.
(H) Electrostatic prep coat--A coating that is applied
to a plastic part solely to provide conductivity for the subsequent
application of a prime, a topcoat, or other coating through the use
of electrostatic application methods. An electrostatic prep coat is
clearly identified as an electrostatic prep coat on its accompanying
material safety data sheet.
(I) Flexible coating--A coating that is required to
comply with engineering specifications for impact resistance, mandrel
bend, or elongation as defined by the original equipment manufacturer.
(J) Fog coat--A coating that is applied to a plastic
part for the purpose of color matching without masking a molded-in
texture. A fog coat may not be applied at a thickness of more than
0.5 mil of coating solids.
(K) Gloss reducer--A coating that is applied to a plastic
part solely to reduce the shine of the part. A gloss reducer may not
be applied at a thickness of more than 0.5 mil of coating solids.
(L) Red coating--A coating that meets all of the following
criteria:
(i) yellow limit: the hue of hostaperm scarlet;
(ii) blue limit: the hue of monastral red-violet;
(iii) lightness limit for metallics: 35% aluminum flake;
(iv) lightness limit for solids: 50% titanium dioxide
white;
(v) solid reds: hue angle of -11 to 38 degrees and
maximum lightness of 23 to 45 units; and
(vi) metallic reds: hue angle of -16 to 35 degrees
and maximum lightness of 28 to 45 units. These criteria are based
on Cielab color space, 0/45 geometry. For spherical geometry, specular
included, the upper limit is 49 units. The maximum lightness varies
as the hue moves from violet to orange. This is a natural consequence
of the strength of the colorants, and real colors show this effect.
(M) Resist coat--A coating that is applied to a plastic
part before metallic plating to prevent deposits of metal on portions
of the plastic part.
(N) Stencil coat--A coating that is applied over a
stencil to a plastic part at a thickness of 1.0 mil or less of coating
solids. Stencil coats are most frequently letters, numbers, or decorative
designs.
(O) Texture coat--A coating that is applied to a plastic
part which, in its finished form, consists of discrete raised spots
of the coating.
(P) Vacuum-metalizing coatings--Topcoats and basecoats
that are used in the vacuum-metalizing process.
(3) Large appliance coating--The coating of doors,
cases, lids, panels, and interior support parts of residential and
commercial washers, dryers, ranges, refrigerators, freezers, water
heaters, dishwashers, trash compactors, air conditioners, and other
large appliances.
(A) Extreme high-gloss coating--A coating which, when
tested by the American Society for Testing Material Test Method D523
adopted in 1980, shows a reflectance of 75% or more on a 60 degree
meter.
(B) Extreme performance coating--A coating used on
a metal surface where the coated surface is, in its intended use,
subject to:
(i) chronic exposure to corrosive, caustic or acidic
agents, chemicals, chemical fumes, chemical mixtures, or solutions;
(ii) repeated exposure to temperatures in excess of
250 degrees Fahrenheit (121 degrees Celsius);
(iii) repeated heavy abrasion, including mechanical
wear and repeated scrubbing with industrial grade solvents, cleansers,
or scouring agents; or
(iv) exposure to extreme environmental conditions,
such as continuous outdoor exposure.
(C) Heat-resistant coating--A coating that must withstand
a temperature of at least 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204 degrees Celsius)
during normal use.
(D) Metallic coating--A coating that contains more
than 0.042 pounds of metal particles per gallon of coating as applied.
Metal particles are pieces of a pure elemental metal or a combination
of elemental metals.
(E) 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.
(F) Solar-absorbent coating--A coating that has as
its prime purpose the absorption of solar radiation.
(4) Metal furniture coating--The coating of metal furniture
including, but not limited to, tables, chairs, wastebaskets, beds,
desks, lockers, benches, shelves, file cabinets, lamps, and other
metal furniture products or the coating of any metal part that will
be a part of a nonmetal furniture product.
(A) Extreme high-gloss coating--A coating which, when
tested by the American Society for Testing Material Test Method D523
adopted in 1980, shows a reflectance of 75% or more on a 60 degree
meter.
(B) Extreme performance coating--A coating used on
a metal surface where the coated surface is, in its intended use,

particles are pieces of a pure elemental metal or a combination of
elemental metals.
(E) Pretreatment coating--A coating that contains no
more than 12% solids by weight and at least 0.50% acid by weight;
