ABOUT FRANKLIN ADHESIVES & POLYMERS

Franklin Adhesives & Polymers, a division of Franklin International, manufactures adhesives for the domestic and global wood furniture, millwork and engineered-lamination markets; and provides pressure sensitive adhesives for office products and food packaging. In addition, we supply specialty polymers to various companies to formulate or use them as fiberglass and non-woven binders. We supply product and local service in more than 60 countries on six continents across the globe, and we recently opened a plant in Guangzhou, China, to serve the Pacific Rim more efficiently.
 
At Franklin Adhesives & Polymers, we have led the way in the innovation of wood adhesives and various types of wood bonds and have developed adhesive solutions for many applications in the wood product manufacturing plant. Under the trusted brand names Titebond, Multibond, ReacTITE and Advantage, our products provide superior performance in wood assembly, solid edge and face gluing, engineered product lamination and finger jointing. 

We also provide pressure sensitive adhesives for labels, tapes, films and office products marketed under the brand names of Covinax and Micronax. These adhesives range from FDA-approved emulsions for the food labeling market to ultra-removable formulations used in the office-products industry. At Franklin Adhesives & Polymers, we remain committed to pioneering environmentally safe adhesive products that also maintain high performance characteristics.

We introduced the first 100 percent formaldehyde-free, water-resistant wood adhesive; and are proud to announce that three of our Covinax pressure sensitive adhesives have been certified by the U.S. Forest Products Laboratory to be easily removable from paper during the recycling process.
