Surface area of product coated (sq ft)		Represents amount of product coated for a given time period, can be calculated with Surface Area Calculator.
Coating percent solids (%)		5%-20% for solvent/waterbased stain 20%-45% for solvent/waterbased clear coats 25%-45% for solvent/waterbased paint 25%-40% for solvent/water reduced UV 100% for 100% solids UV
Total coating dry build (mils)		Total thickness of coating after all water and/or solvents have evaporated from coating (1 mil = 0.001")
Application efficiency (%)		99% for roll coater, curtain coater, & vacuum coater 98% for Mist Coater 65%-80% for reciprocators and rotary spray with belt reclaim 55%-70% for reciprocators and rotary spray without belt reclaim 40%-70% for electrostatic spray line 35%-65% for hand spray
Coating cost per gallon ($/gal)		$10-$25 for solvent/waterbased stain $30-$45 for solvent/waterbased clear coats $35-$45 for solvent/waterbased paint $25-$40 for solvent/water reduced UV $45-$60 for 100% solids UV
Coating Cost		Represents coating cost for a given time period
Coating Cost per sq ft		Does not include any labor, utilities, capital cost, etc.
