Adhesives & Sealants Advisory Council

The paint and coatings industry continues to be among one of the most heavily regulated sectors in Canada’s economy. Adhesives and sealants companies are no exception, including more than 22 major companies among CPCA’s membership. To leverage CPCA’s regulatory approach, contacts and initiatives, the association created the Adhesives and Sealants Advisory Council to address current and future government regulations. This council provides relevant input for assessors to ensure that critical substances used in the industry are not inadvertently determined to be CEPA-toxic or where risk management measures are required, they are evidence-based, and properly managed. Adhesives and Sealants is one of the product categories targeted by Environment and Climate Change Canada’s Renewed Federal Agenda: Federal Agenda on the Reduction of Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Emissions from Consumer and Commercial Products for the 2021 to 2028
