(1) Except as provided in R307-361-4, no person shall manufacture, blend, or repackage, supply, sell, or offer for sale within the counties in R307-361-2; or solicit for application or apply within those counties any architectural coating with a VOC content in excess of the corresponding limit specified in Table 1. TABLE 1 VOC Content Limit for Architectural and Industrial Maintenance Coatings (Limits are expressed as VOC content, thinned to the manufacturer’s maximum thinning recommendation, excluding any colorant added to tint bases.) COATING CATEGORY VOC Content Limit (grams/liter) Flat coatings 50 Non-flat coatings 100 Non-flat/high-gloss coatings 150 Specialty Coatings Aluminum roofing 450 Basement Specialty Coatings 400 Bituminous Specialty Coatings 400 Bituminous roof coatings 270 Bituminous roof primers 350 Bond beakers 350 Calcimine recoaters 475 Concrete curing compounds 350 Concrete/masonary sealer 100 Concrete surface retarders 780 Conjugated oil varnish 450 Conversion varnish 725 Driveway sealers 50 Dry fog coatings 150 Faux finishing coatings 350 Fire resistive coatings 350 Floor coatings 100 Form-release compounds 250 Graphic arts coatings 500 (sign paints) High temperature coatings 420 Impacted Immersion Coatings 780 Industrial maintenance coatings 250 Low solids coatings 120 Magnesite cement coatings 450 Mastic texture coatings 100 Metallic pigmented coatings 500 Multi-color coatings 250 Nuclear coatings 450 Pre-treatment wash primers 420 Primers, sealers, and 100 undercoaters Reactive penetrating sealer 350 Reactive penetrating 500 carbonate stone sealer Recycled coatings 250 Roof coatings 250 Rust preventative coatings 250 Shellacs: Clear 730 Opaque 550 Specialty primers, sealers, 100 and undercoaters Stains 250 Stone consolidant 450 Swimming pool coatings 340 Thermoplastic rubber coatings 550 and mastic Traffic marking coatings 100 Tub and tile refinish 420 Waterproofing membranes 250 Wood coating 275 Wood Preservatives 350 Zinc-Rich Primer 340 (2) If a coating is recommended for use in more than one of the specialty coating categories listed in Table 1, the most restrictive (lowest) VOC content limit shall apply. (a) This requirement applies to usage recommendations that appear anywhere on the coating container, anywhere on any label or sticker affixed to the container, or in any sales, advertising, or technical literature supplied by a manufacturer or anyone acting on their behalf. (b) R307-361-5(2) does not apply to the following coating categories: (i) Aluminum roof coatings (ii) Bituminous roof primers (iv) High temperature coatings (v) Industrial maintenance coatings (vi) Low-solids coatings (vii) Metallic pigmented coatings (viii) Pretreatment wash primers (ix) Shellacs (x) Specialty primers, sealers and undercoaters (xi) Wood Coatings (xii) Wood preservatives (xiii) Zinc-rich primers (xiv) Calcimine recoaters (xv) Impacted immersion coatings (xvi) Nuclear coatings (xvii) Thermoplastic rubber coatings and mastic (xviii) Concrete surface retarders (xix) Conversion varnish (3) Sell-through of coatings. A coating manufactured prior to January 1, 2015, may be sold, supplied, or offered for sale for up to three years after January 1, 2015. (a) A coating manufactured before January 1, 2015, may be applied at any time. (b) R307-361-5(3) does not apply to any coating that does not display the date or date code required by R307-361-6(1)(a). (4) Painting practices. All architectural coating containers used when applying the contents therein to a surface directly from the container by pouring, siphoning, brushing, rolling, padding, ragging or other means, shall be closed when not in use. These architectural coating containers include, but are not limited to, drums, buckets, cans, pails, trays or other application containers. Containers of any VOC-containing materials used for thinning and cleanup shall also be closed when not in use. (5) Thinning. No person who applies or solicits the application of any architectural coating shall apply a coating that is thinned to exceed the applicable VOC limit specified in Table 1. (6) Rust preventative coatings. No person shall apply or solicit the application of any rust preventative coating manufactured before January 1, 2015 for industrial use, unless such a rust preventative coating complies with the industrial maintenance coating VOC limit specified in Table 1. (7) Coatings not listed in Table 1. For any coating that does not meet any of the definitions for the specialty coatings categories listed in Table 1, the VOC content limit shall be determined by classifying the coating as a flat, non-flat, or non-flat/high gloss coating, based on its gloss, as defined in R307-361-3 and the corresponding flat, non-flat, or non-flat/high gloss coating VOC limit in Table 1 shall apply.
