What This Service Supports

We bridge the gap between chemical regulations and production continuity, specifically focusing on adhesive material supply.

Manufacturing Risks We Address

Where DG-related issues affect production continuity.

Shipment Delays

Incorrect DG classification causing customs holds or carrier refusal.

Missing Docs

Outdated MSDS or safety documentation stalling supply chains.

Non-Compliant Packaging

Labels or boxes not aligned with IATA/IMDG requirements.

Last-Minute Changes

Unexpected interruptions during pilot runs or ramp-ups.

Adhesives in Practice

Dangerous Goods Classification

Understanding how your adhesive products are classified helps anticipate requirements early in material selection.
Class 3——————

Flammable Liquids

Adhesive materials in this category typically contain volatile solvents. When the flash point is below 60°C, products are commonly classified as Class 3. • Surface treatment agents • Primers and undercoats • Solvent-based coatings
Class 8——————

Corrosive Substances

Materials that can cause severe skin burns or corrode metals. In adhesive applications, this classification is most commonly associated with: • Structural adhesives • Two-part epoxy systems, particularly curing agents and hardeners
Class 9——————

Miscellaneous DG

Increasingly common in logistics due to stricter environmental regulations (aquatic toxicity). Many adhesives previously considered non-dangerous are now Class 9. • Anaerobic adhesives • PUR hot melt adhesives • Thermally conductive structural adhesives

Secure Your Supply Chain

Don't let DG compliance become a bottleneck in your production ramp-up.
