Section 333-016-0165 - Extremely Flammable Contact Adhesives; Labeling

(1) Extremely flammable contact adhesives, also known as contact bonding cements, when distributed in containers intended or suitable for household use may be misbranded under the Act if the containers fail to bear a warning statement adequate for the protection of the public health and safety.

(2) The following warning statement is considered as a minimum cautionary labeling adequate to meet the requirements of ORS 453.005 to 453.135 of the Act with respect to containers of more than one-half pint of contact adhesive and similar liquid or semiliquid articles having a flashpoint at or below 20 degrees Fahrenheit as determined by the method in 333-016-0035 when the only hazard foreseeable is that caused by the extreme flammability of the mixture:

"DANGER EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE VAPORS MAY CAUSE FLASH FIRE

Vapors may ignite explosively. Prevent build-up of vapors -- open all windows and doors -- use only with cross ventilation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Do not smoke, extinguish all flames and pilot lights, and turn off stoves, heaters, electric motors, and other sources of ignition during use and until all vapors are gone.

Close container after use.

Keep out of the reach of children".

(3) The words that are in capital letters in the warning statement set forth in section (2) of this rule shall be printed on the main (front) panel or panels of the container in capital letters of the type size specified in OAR 333-016-0115. The balance of the cautionary information may appear together on another panel, provided the front panel bears a statement such as, "Read carefully other cautions on ______panel", the blank being filled in with the identification of the specific label panel bearing the balance of the cautionary labeling. It is recommended that a borderline be used in conjunction with the cautionary labeling.

(4) If an article has additional hazards, or contains ingredients listed in OAR 333-016-0065 as requiring special labeling, appropriate additional front and rear panel precautionary labeling is required.
