PART 1302_BAN OF EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE CONTACT ADHESIVES--Table of Contents
 
Sec.  1302.3  Definitions.

    (a) The definitions in section 3 of the Consumer Product Safety Act 
(15 U.S.C. 2052) apply to this part 1302.
    (b) The term extremely flammable contact adhesive and similar liquid 
or semiliquid consumer products means consumer products that have each 
of the following product characteristics:
    (1) Show a flash point at or below 20 degrees Farenheit as 
determined by the Tagliabue open-cup test method prescribed by 16 CFR 
1500.43; and
    (2) Are intended to be applied to two surfaces to be bonded together 
and allowed to dry partially until there is little residual tack, and 
adhere to themselves instantaneously when the coated surfaces are joined 
under low or moderate pressure; and
    (3) Are composed of a high percentage (70-90 percent by weight) of 
solvents and a low percentage of solids (10-30 percent by weight); and
    (4) Are substances that are non-aerosols and are free-flowing, 
having a wet viscosity within the range of 300-6,000 centipoise at 70 
degrees Fahrenheit when measured by an RVF Brookfield viscometer; and
    (5) Are packaged in containers of more than one-half pint.
    (c) The term flash point means the lowest temperature corrected to a 
pressure of 101.3 RPa (1013 millibars) of a substance at which 
application of an ignition source causes the vapor above the substance 
to ignite under specified conditions of test. A blue light (blue halo) 
or other colored light which sometimes surrounds the test flame should 
not be confused with the true ignition of the vapors (flash point).
    (d) Initial introduction into commerce occurs when the manufacturer 
ships a product covered by this regulation from a facility of the 
manufacturer to a distributor, retailer, or consumer.
