Note: Architectural Coatings rules only apply to those coatings applied to stationary structures and their appurtenances at the site of installation. Further, appurtenance, means any accessory to a stationary structure coated at the site of installation, whether installed or detached. Therefore, our Marine Finish and Marine Sealer products are not regulated by these rules, nor do these rules apply to any of our products unless they’re used in the aforementioned applications.
