Section 22a-174-41 Architectural and industrial maintenance coatings.

(a)
Definitions. For the purposes of this section, the following definitions shall apply:

(1)
Adhesive means any chemical substance that is applied for the purpose of bonding two
surfaces together other than by mechanical means.

(2)
Aerosol coating product means a pressurized coating product containing pigments or
resins that dispenses product ingredients by means of a propellant, and is packaged in a
disposable can for hand-held application, or for use in specialized equipment for ground traffic
marking applications.

(3)
Antenna coating means a coating labeled and formulated exclusively for application to
equipment and associated structural appurtenances that are used to receive or transmit
electromagnetic signals.

(4)
Antifouling coating means a coating labeled and formulated for application to
submerged stationary structures and their appurtenances to prevent or reduce the attachment of
marine or freshwater biological organisms.

(5)
Appurtenance means any accessory to a stationary structure coated at the site of
installation, whether installed or detached, including but not limited to: bathroom and kitchen
fixtures; cabinets; concrete forms; doors; elevators; fences; hand railings; heating equipment, air
conditioning equipment, and other fixed mechanical equipment or stationary tools; lampposts;
partitions; pipes and piping systems; rain gutters and downspouts; stairways; fixed ladders;
catwalks; fire escapes; and window screens.

(6)
Architectural coating means a coating to be applied to stationary structures and their
appurtenances at the site of installation, to portable buildings at the site of installation, to
pavements, or to curbs. Coatings applied in shop applications or to non-stationary structures
such as airplanes, ships, boats, railcars and automobiles, and adhesives are excluded from the
definition of architectural coatings.

(7)
ASTM means the American Society for Testing and Materials.

(8)
BAAQMD means the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, a part of the
California Air Resources Board, which is responsible for the regulation of air quality in the state
of California.

(9)
Bitumens means black or brown materials including, but not limited to, asphalt, tar,
pitch and asphaltite that are soluble in carbon disulfide, consist mainly of hydrocarbons, and are
obtained from natural deposits or as residues from the distillation of crude petroleum or coal.

(10) Bituminous roof coating means a coating that incorporates bitumens that is labeled and
formulated exclusively for roofing.

(11) Bituminous roof primer means a primer that incorporates bitumens that is labeled and
formulated exclusively for roofing.

(12) Bond breaker means a coating labeled and formulated for application between layers of
concrete to prevent a freshly poured top layer of concrete from bonding to the layer over which it
is poured.

(13) Calcimine recoaters means flat, solvent-borne coatings formulated and recommended
specifically for recoating calcimine-painted ceilings and other calcimine-painted substrates.

(14) "CAS"
means
Chemical Abstract Service.

(15) Clear brushing lacquers means clear wood finishes, excluding clear lacquer sanding
sealers, formulated with nitrocellulose or synthetic resins to dry by solvent evaporation without
chemical reaction and to provide a solid, protective film. Such lacquers are intended to be
applied only with a brush.

(16) "Clear wood coating means a clear and semi-transparent coating, including lacquers and
varnishes, applied to a wood substrate, to provide a transparent or translucent solid film.

(17) Coating means a material applied onto or impregnated into a substrate for protective,
decorative or functional purposes. Such materials include, but are not limited to, paints,
varnishes, sealers and stains.

(18) Colorant means concentrated pigment dispersion in water, solvent or binder that is
added to an architectural coating after packaging in sale units to produce the desired color.

(19) Concrete curing compound means a coating labeled and formulated for application to
freshly poured concrete to retard the evaporation of water.

(20) Concrete
surface
retarders means a mixture of retarding ingredients such as extender
pigments, primary pigments, resin and solvent that interact chemically with the cement to
prevent hardening on the surface where the retarder is applied, allowing the retarded mix or
cement and sand at the surface to be washed away to create an exposed aggregate finish.

(21) Conversion varnish means a clear acid curing coating with an alkyd or other resin
blended with amino resins and supplied as a single component or two-compound product.
Conversion varnishes produce a hard, durable, clear finish designed for professional
application to wood flooring. This film formation is the result of an acid-catalyzed condensation
reaction, affecting a transetherification at the reactive ethers of the amino resins.

(22) Dry fog coating means a coating labeled and formulated only for spray application
such that overspray droplets dry before subsequent contact with incidental surfaces in the
vicinity of the surface coating activity.

(23) Exempt compound means a compound identified in 40 CFR 51.100(s) under volatile
organic compounds, as amended from time to time, as having negligible photochemical
reactivity.

(24) Faux finishing coating means a coating labeled and formulated as a stain or a glaze to
create artistic effects including, but not limited to, dirt, old age, smoke damage and simulated
marble and wood grain.

(25) Fire-resistive coating means an opaque coating labeled and formulated to protect the
structural integrity by increasing the fire endurance of interior or exterior steel and other
structural materials.

(26) Fire-retardant
coating
means a coating labeled and formulated to retard ignition and
flame spread.

(27) Flat coating means a coating that is not defined under any other definition in this
section and that registers gloss less than 15 on an 85-degree meter or less than 5 on a 60-degree
meter.

(28) Floor coating means an opaque coating that is labeled and formulated for application to
flooring, including, but not limited to, decks, porches, steps and other horizontal surfaces which
may be subjected to foot traffic.

(29) Flow coating means a coating labeled and formulated exclusively for use to maintain
the protective coating systems present on utility transformer units.

(30) Form-release compound means a coating labeled and formulated for application to a
concrete form to prevent the freshly poured concrete from bonding to the form. The form may
consist of wood, metal or some material other than concrete.

(31) Graphic arts coating or sign paint means a coating labeled and formulated for hand-
application using brush or roller techniques to indoor and outdoor signs, excluding structural
components, and murals including letter enamels, poster colors, copy blockers and bulletin
enamels.

(32) High temperature coating means a high performance coating labeled and formulated
for application to substrates exposed continuously or intermittently to temperatures above 204
O
C
(400
O
F).

(33) Impacted immersion coating means a high performance maintenance coating

turbulent, debris-laden water. These coatings are specifically resistant to high-energy impact
damage by floating ice or debris.
