Italian term or phrase: superficiale/in profondità dell'aria

Si parla di vernici. Nelle caratteristiche, alla voce "Tempo di essiccazione", trovo:

- Superficiale dell'aria
- Fuori polvere 15 minuti
- Completa 1 ora

- In profondità dell'aria: 2 ore

Cosa significa tempo di essiccazione (di una vernice) superficiale dell'aria/in profondità dell'aria??? Grazie!
