This oup covers the prepared glues and adhesives of (B) below and other products suitab e for use as glues or adhesives, provided they are ut up for retail sale as glues or adhesives in packages the content of which does not excee i ! 1 kg. gr The packages in which glues or adhesives are usually put up for retail sale include glass bottles or jars, metal boxes, collapsible metal tubes, cartons, paper bags, etc.; sometlrnes the "packaging" is merely a paper band wrapped round, for example, a slab of bone lue. A small brush of the appropriate type 1s sometimes packed with glues or adhesives 8.g., those put up in jars or tins ready for direct use). Such brushes are classified with the glues or adhesives if packed therewith. Products having other uses in addition to use as glues or adhesives (e.g., dextrins, meth 1 cellulose in granules) are classified in this heading only if there is some indication on t e packages that they are intended for sale as glues or adhesives. X (B) Pre ared glues and other prepared adhesives, not covered by a more specific heading in t e Nomenclature, for example : (I) Gluten glues ("Vienna glues") normally obtained from gluten rendered soluble by partial fermentation. These lues are usually in the form of flakes or powders and vary in colour fiom yellowish to rown. f (2) Glues or other adhesives obtained by chemically treating natural gums. (3) Adhesives based on silicates, etc. (4) Preparations specially formulated for use as adhesives, consisting of polymers or blends thereof of headin s 39.01 to 39.13 which, a art from any permitted additions to the products of Chapter 9 (fillers, lasticisers, so vents, pigments, etc.), contain other added substances not falling in that hapter (e.g., waxes). f E f (5) Adhesives consisting of a mixture of rubber, organic solvents, fillers, vulcanising agents and resins. Except when they comply with the provisions of paragraph (A) above, the heading excludes products covered by a more specific heading in the Nomenclature, for example : (a) Casein glues (heading 35.01), glues of animal origin on dextrins or other modified starches (heading 35.03) and glues based on starches, or (b) Other oducts, which can be used as glues or other adhesives either directly or after treatment, for examp e, bird lime (headin 13.02), silicates, not mixed (heading 28.39), calcium caseinate P' (headin 35.01), dentrin ( h u b g 35.051, dispersions or solutions of polymers of headings 39.01 to 39.13 (8hapter 39 or heading 32.08) and dispersions m solutions of rubber (Chapter 40). It is to be noted that certain of the products included in this headin are usable as glues or adhesives in the form in which they are sold, while others must be issolved or dispersed in water before use. d The heading does not cover repared glazings and dressings for textiles, etc. (heading 38.09) or foundry core binders (headin 38.24 m certain countries, these substances are sometimes called "glues", but they are not used for t eir adhesive properties. % The heading also excludes products having the character of mastics, fillings, etc., of heading 32.14.
Notes. 1.- This Chapter does not cover : (a) Yeasts (heading 21.02); (b) Blood fractions (other than blood albumin not prepared for therapeutic or prophylactic uses), medicaments or other products of Chapter 30; (c) Enzymatic preparations for pre-tanning (heading 32.02); (d) Enzymatic soaking or washing preparations or other products of Chapter 34; (e) Hardened proteins (heading 39.13); or (f) Gelatin products of the printing industry (Chapter 49). 2.- For the purposes of heading 35.05, the term “dextrins” means starch degradation products with a reducing sugar content, expressed as dextrose on the dry substance, not exceeding 10 %. Such products with a reducing sugar content exceeding 10 % fall in heading 17.02.
