(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.
