Franklin International Advantage 405 is a two-part crosslinking polyvinyl acetate emulsion adhesive developed especially for high durability applications. When mixed with Aluminum Chloride (Catalyst A) the product surpasses both ASTM D-5572 Wet Use for Finger Joints in Non-structural Lumber Products and ASTM D-5751 Wet Use for Laminate Joints in Non-structural Lumber Products. These standards are the basis for Hallmark Certification. Advantage 405 can be used for finger jointing, edge gluing, hot pressing, cold pressing and radio frequency gluing.

Franklin International Advantage 425 is a high performance, two-part crosslinking polyvinyl acetate emulsion adhesive developed specifically for finger jointing. It has a shear thinning rheology for easy application and a low minimum use temperature. When mixed with Aluminum Chloride (Catalyst A) the product surpassed ASTM D-5572 Wet Use for Finger Joints in Non-structural Lumber Products. This standard is the basis for Hallmark Certification on glued finger joints.

Franklin International Advantage EP-930 is an emulsion polymer isocyanate system (EPI) developed for improved radio frequency performance. It is mixed with Hardener 200, a polymeric isocyanate at 10-15 parts Hardener 200 to 100 parts emulsion Advantage EP-930. The adhesive is characterized by good spreader stability and low foam production when compared with traditional EPI adhesives. Advantage EP-930 with Hardener 200 surpasses the ASTM D-5751-99 wet use for laminate joints in non-structural lumber products and the DIN D4 standard.

Franklin International Advantage 415 is a two-part crosslinking polyvinyl acetate emulsion adhesive developed especially for high durability applications. When mixed with Aluminum Chloride (Catalyst A) the product surpasses both ASTM D-5572 Wet Use for Finger Joints in Non-structural Lumber Products and ASTM D-5751 Wet Use for Laminate Joints in Non-structural Lumber Products. These standards are the basis for Hallmark Certification. Advantage 415 can be used for finger jointing, edge gluing, hot pressing, cold pressing and radio frequency gluing.

Franklin International Advantage 160 is a two-component crosslinking polyvinyl acetate emulsion adhesive developed specifically for finger jointing; but performs well in laminating and edge gluing. When mixed with Catalyst A it exceeds the requirements for ASTM D-5572 wet use for finger joints in non-structural lumber products as well the European DIN EN 204 D4. This adhesive has a shear thinning rheology for easy extrudability and a low minimum use temperature allowing it to be used over a wide application range.
