2. Description of the product

• Intended use: Adhesives, adhesive tapes and hot glue for floristry, handicrafts, decoration and packaging purposes.

• Material composition:

  • Adhesives: Solvent-based, water-based, or hot melt adhesives.

  • Hot glue: Thermoplastic adhesive sticks (e.g. EVA, polyamide, polyolefin).

  • Carrier materials: paper, plastic (e.g. PVC, PP), textiles or metal foils.

  • Additives: Adhesives, adhesive coatings or release films.

3. Possible dangers

• Fire hazard: Adhesives, tapes and hot glue can be flammable if they come into contact with open flames.

• Danger of burns: Hot glue reaches high temperatures and can cause skin and eye injuries.

• Inhalation of vapors: Adhesives containing solvents or hot glue vapors can irritate the respiratory tract.

• Skin irritation: Direct skin contact with adhesives or hot glue can cause irritation or allergic reactions.

• Risk of mechanical injury: Sharp edges or tear-resistant materials can cause cuts.

4. Safety instructions

4.1 General safety instructions

• Keep away from children and pets.

• Keep away from open flames and heat sources.

• Use in well-ventilated areas, especially when using solvent-based adhesives and hot melt glue.

• Wear protective gloves to avoid skin contact.

4.2 Notes on use

1. Apply adhesives carefully, avoiding direct contact with skin and eyes.

2. Only use hot glue with suitable glue guns and never touch the adhesive surface directly.

3. When using hot glue, protect the work area from unauthorized access.

4. Peel off adhesive tape evenly and avoid sharp edges.

5. Do not use solvent-based adhesives and hot glue in enclosed spaces without ventilation.

4.3 Storage instructions

• Store in a cool, dry place protected from light.

• Keep adhesives securely closed to prevent drying out or vapor development.

• Protect hot glue sticks from moisture and store them safely.

• Protect adhesive tapes from direct sunlight.

5. First aid measures

• If hot glue comes into contact with skin: Do not remove hot glue forcefully, cool the affected area with cold water and seek medical attention.

• If adhesive comes into contact with skin: carefully remove adhesive residue and clean the affected area with soap and water.

• In case of eye contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of clean water and seek medical advice.

• If vapors are inhaled: Remove affected person to fresh air and seek medical advice if symptoms persist.

• If swallowed: Get medical attention immediately, do not induce vomiting.

6. Firefighting measures

• Suitable extinguishing agents: CO₂, foam, powder.

• Special measures: In case of fires involving adhesives or hot glue, wear respiratory protection as toxic fumes may be produced.

• Note: Adhesives, tapes and hot glue can release harmful gases when burned.

7. Storage and transport

• Storage:

  • Store in a dry, cool and securely closed place.

  • Protect hot glue sticks safely from heat sources.

• Transport:

  • Seal adhesives securely to prevent leakage.

  • Protect hot glue and adhesive tapes from mechanical damage.

8. Disposal instructions

• Material-dependent disposal:

  • Residues of solvent-based adhesives: hazardous waste according to local regulations.

  • Hot glue residues: Residual waste according to local regulations.

  • Paper-based adhesive tapes: recycled paper.

  • Plastic carriers and adhesive residues: Dispose of via residual waste or recycle according to local regulations.

• Recycle packaging materials according to local regulations.
