IVK, Düsseldorf, 25 Juni 2018 – Significant price increases for basic chemicals and intermediates, limited availability and a strong global demand make adhesive raw materials significantly more expensive. In addition, steadily raising regulatory costs and the shortage of freight capacities are leading to noticeable additional burden on the cost structure of German adhesive manufacturers.

CLP (Classification, Labelling and Packaging) Regulation
FEICA supports its members by keeping them informed on regulatory developments impacting the CLP Regulation (Classification, Labelling and Packaging Regulation (1272/2008)). In this regard, FEICA has been proactively collaborating with ECHA on the development of the Guidance on labelling and packaging.
The European Commission’s twin proposals under #OmnibusVI mark a positive step toward simplifying EU chemicals legislation. For the adhesive and sealant industry - where 85% of companies are SMEs - this promises greater clarity, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. To ensure the revised CLP Regulation is practical and effective, FEICA underscores three key priorities: flexible formatting rules, staggered transition periods, and proportionate advertising provisions. In July 2025, FEICA published its position on CLP, calling for a swift adoption of CLP ‘stop-the-clock’.
