Adhesives — dangerous goods classification
UN1133 covers adhesives containing a flammable liquid: contact cements, solvent cements and PVC pipe cement.
The mistake this category generates
Water-based PVA and cyanoacrylate super glue are normally unregulated. The solvent, not the fact that it is glue, is what makes it a dangerous good.
