The paint only qualifies as an Industrial Maintenance Coating if it is formulated to resist extreme environmental conditions such as immersion in water, wastewater, or chemicals; chronic exposure to moisture condensation; exposure to corrosive, caustic or acidic agents or fumes; repeated exposure to extreme temperatures; repeated heavy abrasion, mechanical wear, scrubbing, or industrial cleaners; or exterior exposure of metal structures. If the paint is formulated for application to steel and simply to resist rust under normal conditions, it is an anti-corrosive/anti-rust paint, also with a VOC limit of 250g/L. However, some Synthetic Gloss Enamels are formulated as general-purpose paints not just for steel, but for wood, masonry, or other substrates. If this is the case, the Gloss Enamel is a Non-Flat Paint with a VOC limit of only 150g/L.
