NR 465.02 NR 465.02 Definitions. For terms not defined in this section, the definitions contained in chs. NR 400 and 460 apply to the terms used in this subchapter, with definitions in ch. NR 460 taking priority over definitions in ch. NR 400. If this section defines a term which is also defined in ch. NR 400 or 460, the definition in this section applies in this subchapter. In this subchapter:

NR 465.02(1) (1) “Adhesive” means any chemical substance that is applied for the purpose of bonding 2 surfaces together other than by mechanical means. Products used on humans and animals, adhesive tape, contact paper or any other product with an adhesive incorporated onto or in an inert substrate are not considered adhesives under this subchapter.

NR 465.02(2) (2) “Aerosol adhesive” means an adhesive that is dispensed from a pressurized container as a suspension of fine solid or liquid particles in gas.

NR 465.02(3) (3) “Affected source” means a wood furniture manufacturing facility that is engaged, either in part or in whole, in the manufacture of wood furniture or wood furniture components and that is located at a plant site that is a major source of hazardous air pollutants.

NR 465.02(4) (4) “Alternative method” means any method of sampling and analyzing for an air pollutant that is not a reference or equivalent method but has been demonstrated to the administrator’s satisfaction to, in specific cases, produce results adequate for a determination of compliance.

NR 465.02(5) (5) “As applied” means the HAP and solids content of the coating or contact adhesive that is actually used for coating or gluing the substrate. It includes the contribution of materials used for in-house dilution of the coating or contact adhesive.

NR 465.02(6) (6) “Basecoat” means a coat of colored material, usually opaque, that is applied before graining inks, glazing coats or other opaque finishing materials, and is usually topcoated for protection.

NR 465.02(7) (7) “Capture device” means a hood, enclosed room, floor sweep or other means of collecting solvent emissions or other pollutants into a duct so that the pollutant can be directed to a pollution control device such as an incinerator or carbon adsorber.

NR 465.02(8) (8) “Capture efficiency” means the fraction of all organic vapors generated by a process that are directed to a control device.

NR 465.02(9) (9) “Certified product data sheet” or “CPDS” means documentation furnished by coating or adhesive suppliers or an outside laboratory and measured in accord with s. NR 465.09 (1) that provides all of the following:

NR 465.02(9)(a) (a) The VHAP content of a finishing material, contact adhesive or solvent, by percent by weight, for each VHAP present in concentrations greater than or equal to 1.0% by weight, or 0.1% for VHAP that are carcinogens as defined by the occupational safety and health administration hazard communication standard in 29 CFR part 1910 Subpart Z, incorporated by reference in s. NR 484.03 (1).

NR 465.02(9)(b) (b) The solids content of a finishing material or contact adhesive by percent by weight.

NR 465.02(9)(c) (c) The density of the finishing material, adhesive or solvent.

NR 465.02 Note Note: : Because the optimum analytical conditions under Method 311, used pursuant to s. NR 465.09 (1), vary by coating, the coating or adhesive supplier may also choose to include on the CPDS the optimum analytical conditions for analysis of the coating, adhesive or solvent using EPA Method 311. Information may include, but not be limited to, separation column, oven temperature, carrier gas, injection port temperature, extraction solvent and internal standard.

NR 465.02(10) (10) “Cleaning operations” means operations in which organic HAP solvent is used to remove coating materials or adhesives from equipment used in wood furniture manufacturing operations.

NR 465.02(11) (11) “Coating” means a protective, decorative or functional film applied in a thin layer to a surface. Coating materials include paints, topcoats, varnishes, sealers, stains, washcoats, basecoats, enamels, inks and temporary protective coatings. Adhesives and aerosol spray used for touch-up and repair are not considered coatings under this subchapter.

NR 465.02(12) (12) “Coating solids” or “solids” means the part of the coating which remains after the coating is dried or cured.

NR 465.02(13) (13) “Contact adhesive” means an adhesive that is applied to 2 substrates, dried and then mated under only enough pressure to provide sufficient contact so that the resulting bond is immediate and sufficiently strong to hold pieces together without further clamping, pressure or airing.

NR 465.02(14) (14) “Continuous coater” means a finishing system that continuously applies finishing materials onto furniture parts moving along a conveyor. Examples of application methods that can be used with a continuous coater include spraying, curtain coating, roll coating, dip coating and flow coating.

NR 465.02(15) (15) “Continuous compliance” means that the affected source is meeting the emission limitations and other requirements of the rule at all times and is fulfilling all monitoring and recordkeeping provisions of the rule in order to demonstrate compliance.

NR 465.02(16) (16) “Control device” means any equipment that reduces the quantity of a pollutant that is emitted to the air.

NR 465.02 Note Note: The device may destroy or secure the pollutant for subsequent recovery.

NR 465.02(17) (17) “Control device efficiency” means the ratio of the amount of the pollutant reduced by a control device and the amount of the pollutant introduced to the control device.

NR 465.02(18) (18) “Control system” means the combination of capture and control devices used to reduce emissions to the atmosphere.

NR 465.02(19) (19) “Conventional air spray” means a spray coating method in which the coating is atomized by mixing it with compressed air and applied at an air pressure greater than 10 psig at the point of atomization.

NR 465.02 Note Note: Airless and air assisted airless spray technologies are not conventional air spray because the coating is not atomized by mixing it with compressed air. Electrostatic spray technology is also not considered conventional air spray because an electrostatic charge is employed to attract the coating to the workpiece.

NR 465.02(20) (20) “Day” means a period of 24 consecutive hours beginning at midnight local time, or beginning at a time consistent with a facility’s operating schedule.

NR 465.02(21) (21) “Enamel” means a coat of colored material, usually opaque, that is applied as a protective topcoat over a basecoat, primer or previously applied enamel coats. In some cases, another finishing material may be applied as a topcoat over the enamel.
