Section 096-123-2 - Definitions
A.Applied solids. "Applied solids" means solids which remain on the substrate being coated or painted.
B.Capture system. "Capture system" means the equipment, including hoods, ducts, fans, etc. used to contain, capture, or transport a pollutant to control device.
C.Coating. "Coating" means a material applied onto or impregnated into a substrate for decorative, protective, or functional purposes. Such materials include, but are not limited to, solvent-borne coatings, waterborne coatings, adhesives, wax coatings, wax laminations, extrusion coatings, extrusion laminations, 100 percent solid adhesives, UV cured coatings, electron beam cured coatings, hot melt coatings, and cold seal coatings. A material used to form an unsupported substrate, such as calendaring of vinyl, blown film, cast film, extruded film, and co-extruded film is not considered a coating.
D.Coating line. "Coating line" means a series of coating applicators, flash-off areas, and any associated curing/drying equipment between one or more unwind or feed stations and one or more rewind or cutting stations.
E.Knife coating. "Knife coating" means the application of a coating material to a substrate by means of drawing the substrate beneath a knife that spreads the coating evenly over the full width of the substrate.
F.Meyer rod coating. "Meyer rod coating" means a system for coating which meters and spreads the coating onto a substrate by means of a rod which is spirally wound with wire. The metering can be either stationary or rotating, and the size of the wire determines the amount of coating left on the substrate.
G.Oven. "Oven" means a chamber within which heat is used to bake, cure, polymerize, and/or dry a surface coating.
H.Off machine coater. "Off machine coater" means a coating operation not in the continuous line of a paper making machine.
I.Paper, film and foil coating. "Paper, film and foil coating" means the application of a continuous layer of coating across the width or any portion of the width of a paper, film or foil substrate to create a functional or protective layer, saturate a substrate for lamination, or provide adhesion between two substrates for lamination.
J.Pressure sensitive adhesive. "Pressure sensitive adhesive" means an adhesive that forms a bond when pressure is applied, without activation via solvent, water or heat.
K.Pressure sensitive tape and label coating. "Pressure sensitive tape and label coating" means the application of a pressure sensitive adhesive to a film carrier or face material.
L.Roll coating. "Roll coating" means the application of a coating material to a substrate by means of hard rubber or steel rolls.
M.Rotogravure coating. "Rotogravure coating" means the application of a coating material to a substrate by means of a roll coating technique in which the pattern to be applied is etched on the coating roll. The coating material is picked up in these recessed areas and is transferred to the substrate.
N.Substrate. "Substrate" means the surface to which a coating is applied.
