Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) For the purpose
					 of this article, the following definitions apply:
(1) "Adhesive" means any product that is used
					 to bond one surface to another by attachment. "Adhesive" does not include
					 products used on humans and animals, adhesive tape, contact paper, wallpaper,
					 shelf liners, or any other product with an adhesive incorporated onto or in an
					 inert substrate. For "Contact Adhesive," "Construction, Panel, or Floor
					 Covering Adhesive," and "General Purpose Adhesive" only, "Adhesive" also does
					 not include units of product, less packaging, which weigh more than one pound
					 and consist of more than 16 fluid ounces. This limitation does not apply to
					 aerosol adhesives.
"Adhesive" includes the following categories
						(A-D):
(A) "Aerosol Adhesive" means
					 any "Adhesive" packaged as an aerosol product in which the spray mechanism is
					 permanently housed in a can designed for hand-held application without the need
					 for ancillary hoses or spray equipment.
"Aerosol Adhesive" includes the following subcategories
						(1-3):
1. "Mist Spray Adhesive" means
					 any "Aerosol Adhesive" which is not a "Special Purpose Spray Adhesive" and
					 which delivers a particle or mist spray, resulting in the formation of fine,
					 discrete particles that yield a generally uniform and smooth application of
					 adhesive to the substrate.
2.
					 "Special Purpose Spray Adhesive" means an "Aerosol Adhesive" that meets one of
					 the following definitions:
a. "Automobile
					 Headliner Adhesive" means an "Aerosol Adhesive" designed and labeled
					 exclusively to bond together layers in motor vehicle headliners.
b. "Automotive Engine Compartment Adhesive"
					 means an "Aerosol Adhesive" designed and labeled exclusively for use in motor
					 vehicle under-the-hood applications which require oil and plasticizer
					 resistance, as well as high shear strength, at temperatures of 200-275 degrees
					 Fahrenheit.
c. "Flexible Vinyl
					 Adhesive" means an "Aerosol Adhesive" designed and labeled exclusively to bond
					 flexible vinyl to substrates. Flexible vinyl means a nonrigid polyvinyl
					 chloride plastic with at least five percent, by weight, of plasticizer content.
					 A plasticizer is a material that is incorporated into a vinyl to increase its
					 flexibility, workability, or distensibility, that may be determined using ASTM
					 Method E260-91 (Jan. 25, 1991) Standard Practice for Packed Column Gas
					 Chromatography, which is incorporated by reference herein, or from product
					 formulation data.
d. "Laminate
					 Repair/Edgebanding Adhesive" means an "Aerosol Adhesive" designed and labeled
					 exclusively for:
i. the touch-up or repair of
					 items laminated with high pressure laminates (for example, lifted edges,
					 delaminations, etc.), or for
ii.
					 the touch-up, repair, or attachment of edgebanding materials, including, but
					 not limited to, other laminates, synthetic marble, veneers, wood molding, or
					 decorative metals.
For the purposes of this definition "high pressure
						laminate" means sheet materials which consist of paper, fabric, or other core
						material that have been laminated at temperatures exceeding 265 degrees F, and
						at pressures between 1,000 and 1,400 psi.
e. "Mounting Adhesive" means an "Aerosol
					 Adhesive" designed and labeled exclusively to permanently mount photographs,
					 artwork, or any other drawn or printed media to a backing (paper, board, cloth,
					 etc.) without causing discoloration to the artwork.
f. "Plastic Pipe Adhesive" means an "Aerosol
					 Adhesive" labeled exclusively to bond segments of acrylonitrile butadiene
					 styrene (ABS), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or chlorinated polyvinyl chloride
					 (CPVC) pipe together.
g.
					 "Polyolefin Adhesive" means an "Aerosol Adhesive" designed and labeled
					 exclusively to bond polyolefins (for example, polyethylene, polypropylene,
					 etc.) to substrates.
h.
					 "Polystyrene Foam Adhesive" means an "Aerosol Adhesive" designed and labeled
					 exclusively to bond polystyrene foam (for example, Styrofoam®, expanded
					 polystyrene foam, etc.) to substrates.
i. "Screen Printing Adhesive" means an
					 "Aerosol Adhesive" designed and labeled exclusively to hold garments or fabric
					 in place during the screen printing process.
3. "Web Spray Adhesive" means any "Aerosol
					 Adhesive" which is not a "Mist Spray Adhesive" or "Special Purpose Spray
					 Adhesive."
