RHODE ISLAND DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
DIVISION OF AIR RESOURCES
AIR POLLUTION CONTROL REGULATION NO. 19
CONTROL OF VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS FROM
SURFACE
COATING OPERATIONS
19.
Control of Volatile Organic Compounds from Surface Coating Operations
19.1
Definitions
As used in these regulations, the following terms shall, where the context
permits, be construed as follows:
19.1.1
"Surface coating" means a process whereby a layer of one or
more substances containing VOC and solids are deposited on
another material (substrate) in a uniform manner across the
surface of the substrate. The layer of coating may be used for
appearance, to decorate, bond, protect, strengthen, functionalize
and/or impart stability, water or acid repellence or mildew
resistance. For purposes of this regulation only, types of coating
processes are defined as follows:
(a) Paper coating - the application of a coating or coatings on
paper, pressure-sensitive tapes, plastic film or metal foil to
impart any or all qualities above.
(b) Fabric coating - the application of a coating or coatings on a
textile substrate to impart any or all qualities above.
(c) Vinyl coating - the application of a coating or coatings on a
vinyl coated paper, vinyl coated fabric, or vinyl substrate or
printing on vinyl-coated fabric or vinyl sheets to impart any
or all qualities above.
(d) Miscellaneous metal parts and products (MMP) coating
means the application of a coating or coatings, including
but not limited to adhesives, on any metal part or metal
product, even if attached to or combined with a nonmetal 19 - 2
part or product. Miscellaneous metal parts and products
include, but are not limited to:
(1)
Large farm machinery (harvesting, fertilizing and
planting machines, tractors, combines, etc.);
(2)
Small farm machinery (lawn and garden tractors,
lawn mowers, rototillers, etc.);
(3)
Small appliances (fans, mixers, blenders, crock
pots, dehumidifiers, vacuum cleaners, etc.);

(7)
Any other industrial category that coats metal parts
or products under the Standard Industrial

products), Major Group 35 (nonelectric machinery),
Major Group 36 (electrical machinery), Major
Group 37 (transportation equipment), Major
Group 38 (miscellaneous instruments), and Major
Group 39 (miscellaneous manufacturing industries);
and
(8)
Application of underbody antichip materials (e.g.,
underbody plastisol) and coating application
operations other than prime, primer surface,
topcoat, and final repair operations at automobile
and light-duty truck assembly plants.
(9)
Miscellaneous metal parts coating does not include
the application of a coating or coatings to the
following: 19 - 3
(i) Automobiles and light-duty trucks;
(ii) Automobile and light duty truck refinishing;
(iii)
Customized top coating of automobiles and
trucks, if production is less than 35 vehicles
per day;
(iv)

(v) Flat metal sheets and strips in the form of rolls
or coils;
(vi)

(vii)

approved by the Director, and approved by
EPA, as a Federal Implementation Plan (FIP)
or State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision;
(xi)
Exterior of completely assembled marine
vessels; or
(xii)
Exterior of major marine vessel
subassemblies if approved by the Director,
and approved by EPA, as a FIP or SIP
revision; or
(xiii) Exterior of tanks used for bulk storage of
chemicals at the facility.
(e) Magnet wire coating - the application of a coating in which
an electrically insulating varnish or enamel is applied onto
the surface of a wire for use in electrical machinery.
(f)
Coil coating - the application of a coating to any continuous
metal strip with thickness of 0.006 inch or more that is 19 - 4
packaged in a roll or coil.
(g) Flat wood paneling coating - the application of a coating to
flat wood panels including: printed interior panels made of
hardboard plywood and thin particle board (i.e., less than or
equal to 0.25 inches in thickness) natural finish hardboard
plywood panels; and hardboard paneling with Class II
finishes.
(1)
Flat wood paneling does not include: Class I
hardboard panels, particle board used in furniture or
wood products, insulation board, exterior siding,
tileboard, and soft wood plywood coating lines.
(h) Metal furniture coating - the application of a coating to any
furniture piece made of metal or any metal part that will be
assembled with other metal, wood, fabric, plastic, or glass
parts to form a furniture piece including, but not limited to,
tables, chairs, waste baskets, beds, desk, locker, benches,
shelving, file cabinets, and room dividers.
(i)
Large appliance coating - the application of a coating to the
surface of component metal parts (including, but not
limited to, doors, cases, lids, panels and interior parts) of
any residential or commercial washer, dryer, freezer, range,
refrigerator, water heater, dishwasher, trash compactor, air
conditioner, or other similar products under Standard
Industrial Classification Code 363.
(1)
Large appliance coating does not include the use of
quick drying lacquers for repair of scratches and
nicks that occur during assembly, provided that the
volume of coating does not exceed 0.25 gallons in
any one 8 hour period.
19.1.2
"Volatile organic compound" and "VOC" means any organic
compound which participates in atmospheric photochemical
reactions. This includes any organic compound other than the
following compounds:
(a)
acetone
(b)
CFC-11 (trichlorofluoromethane)
(c)
CFC-12 (dichlorodifluoromethane) 19 - 5
(d)
CFC-113 (1,1,1-trichloro 2,2,2-trifluoroethane)
(e)
CFC-114 (1,2-dichloro 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethane)
(f)
CFC-115 (chloropentafluoroethane)
(g) ethane
(h)
HCFC-22 (chlorodifluoromethane)
(i)
HCFC-123 (1,1,1-trifluoro 2,2-dichloroethane)

(v)
parachlorobenzotrifluoride (PCBTF)
(w) cyclic, branched, or linear completely methylated siloxanes
(x)
The perfluorocarbon compounds which fall into these
classes:
(1)
cyclic, branched or linear, completely fluorinated
alkanes;
(2)
cyclic, branched or linear, completely fluorinated
others with no unsaturations;
(3)
cyclic, branched or linear, completely fluorinated
tertiary amines with no unsaturations; and
(4)

sulfur containing perfluorocarbons with no
unsaturations and with sulfur bonds only to carbon
and fluorine.
These compounds have been determined to have negligible
photochemical reactivity. For purposes of determining
compliance with emission limits, VOC will be measured by the
approved test methods. Where such a method also inadvertently
measures compounds with negligible photochemical reactivity,
as defined above, an owner or operator may exclude these
negligible photochemical reactive compounds when determining
compliance with an emissions standard. Exempt solvents will be 19 - 6
treated as water in "pounds of VOC per gallon of coating minus
water" calculations. Classification of methylene chloride as an
exempt compound does not relieve the facility of the
requirements in Regulation 22.
