You stated the adhesive is applied to provide structural support to the\nparts before they are cured.\nYou provided the following additional information:\nthe parts are large metal assemblies such as rear tailgates, doors, hood\ndecks, and fenders used predominantly on mini vans and small utility\nvehicles.\n2.\na maximum amount of 2.6 ounces of the adhesive is placed around the\nouter periphery of the parts in a 16-foot long continuous bead that is 3 mm\nwide and high, and the parts are sandwiched together.\n3.\nthe parts are cured in an oven at 300°F to 350°F.\n4.\nthe maximum temperature developed on the surface of the parts when they\n!\nare cured is 300°F to 350°F.\nThe answer is no, the adhesive no longer meets the definition of a Division 4.2 material in the\npackaging and transportation scenario described.

A\nsynopsis of our discussion follows:\n1. What types of parts are involved?\nAnswer: Large metal assemblies such as rear tailgates, doors, and\nmini vans and small utility vehicles.\nhood decks, and fenders used in the automobile industry -- - predominately on\n2. How much adhesive is applied to the parts?\nAnswer: Worse case, a maximum of 2.6 ounces of adhesives would be extruded\naround the periphery of a part and then sandwiched between overlapping metal\nsheets: Bead is 3mm wide and high by a maximum continuous length of 16 feet.\nParts are then put in a rack to await fabrication.\n3. What is the curing temperature?\nAnswer: Actual parts with adhesive are cured in an oven at 300°F to 350°F. This\ngenerally occurs during; the cycle used to cure (dry) freshly applied paint.\n\n<<<PAGE 5>>>\n\nJAN. - 23'98 (FRI) 15:37\nHBF/API\nTEL: 810 5853699\n-\nP. 003\n...\n4. What is the maximum temperature developed on the surface of the parts when\nthey are cured?\nAnswer: 300° to 350°F during the paint cure cycle. Although curing can take\nplace very slowing at ambient temperatures, the large quantity of metal in an\nassembly dissipates heat as rapidly as it is formed so there is no noticeable surface\ntemperature rise.\nDr. Schultz and I are both in agreement that the situation described here and in my\npresides coresponded pes any hazard in reparation and the assembles would be\nEileen, we would like to get this resolved; as always, we thank the Department for its\nhelp.

Fuller\nAutomotive Products, Inc., of Madison Heights, Michigan, under Purchase\nOrder No. F18517. Contact with H.B. Fuller Automotive Products, Inc., was\nmaintained through Mr. ene Seacore.\nSelf-heating evaluations of two samples were conducted using the UN\nTest Method (14.3.4) to determine UN packaging class (4.2).\nIL. MATERIALS\nTwo samples were submitted, which were tested as received. These were\nidentified as \"WC2290B\" and \"WC2390\", epoxy adhesives; WC2290B was blue,\nand WC2390 was gray-green.\nIII. DESCRIPTION OF EXPERIMENTS\nUN Test Method for-Self-Heating Substance\nThe principle of the method (14.3.4) is to keep samples in\nstainless-steel screen cubes at constant temperature for 24 hours, making\nobservations as to whether the temperature of the sample exceeds 200°C.\n(This test method is a godification of the Bowes-Cameron cage test, a\nself-heating test method for carbon.)\nThe test procedure is performed in a hot air circulating-type oven\n(Blue M) with an inner volume of 12-15 liters, capable of controlling the\ninternal temperature at 140°C * 2°C.\nCubic sample containers with 2.5-cm and 10-cm sides, made of 0.15\"\n:\nstainless-steel wire screening with a mesh opening of 0.53 mm (28 mesh),\n-1-\n\n<<<PAGE 16>>>\n\nP. OUS\n-..\nDTI Report 2539\nH.B. Fuller Automotive Products, Inc.\nwith the top surface open, are used. Each container is housed in a cubic\ncontainer cover made from 0:4-mm stainless-steel wire screen with a mesh\n•\nopening of 0.595 mm (26 mesh) and slightly Targer than the sample\ncontainer, so that the container fits in this cover. In order to avoid the\neffect of air circulation, another stainless-steel cage, made from D.4-mm\nwire screen with a mesh opening of 0.595 mn (26 mesh) and 15 cm x 15 cm x\n25 cm in size, is further installed to house the covered sample container.\nStainless-stee1-sheathed thermocouples of 1/8\" diameter are used for\ntemperature measurement.\nOne is placed in the center of the sample and\n:\nanother between the sample container and the oven wall. The temperatures\nare measured continuous y.\nThe sample powder or granulate (in the commercial form), is filled to\nthe brim of the sample container, and the container tapped several times.\nIf the sample settles, more is added. If the sample is heaped, it is\nleveled to the brim. The container is housed in the cover and hung at the\ncenter of the oven.\n:\nThe oven temperature is raised to 140°C and kept there for 24 hours.\nThe temperature of the sample is recorded.\n1\nThe first test is conducted with the 10-cm cube sample. Observations\nare made to determine 1f spontaneous ignition occurs or if the temperature\n:\nof the sample exceeds 200°C. If negative results are obtained, no further\ntesting is necessary. If positive results are obtained, a second test is\nconducted with a 2.5-cm cube sampie to determine the data for packing group\nassignment.\n•\n- 2-\n\n<<<PAGE 17>>>\n\nHBr/API\nTEL: 810 5833699\nP. 006\n-\nDI Report 2539\nH.B.
