Section 211.1455  Contact Adhesive

"Contact adhesive" means, for purposes of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 218 and 219, an adhesive that meets the criteria in this Section.  "Contact adhesive" does not include rubber cements that are primarily intended for use on paper substrates or vulcanizing fluids that are designed and labeled for tire repair only.  The qualifying criteria are:

The adhesive is designed for application to both surfaces to be bonded together;

The adhesive is allowed to dry before the two surfaces are placed in contact with each other;

The adhesive forms an immediate bond that is impossible, or difficult, to reposition after both adhesive-coated surfaces are placed in contact with each other; and

The adhesive does not need sustained pressure or clamping of surfaces after the adhesive-coated surfaces have been brought together using sufficient momentary pressure to establish full contact between both surfaces.
