Products

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 Laminating 460 is a one-part, crosslinking polyvinyl acetate emulsion adhesive developed especially for bonding HPL and wood veneer to fire-rated particleboard and fiberboard. It can be mixed with Aluminum Chloride (Catalyst A) as a two-part system to improve water resistance. It can be hot pressed or cold pressed.

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 Assembly 65 is an extremely fast-setting polyvinyl acetate emulsion adhesive. Its fast setting rate results from its high percentage of polymer solids. It is very versatile and is widely used for assembly applications such as cabinets. The viscosity range of Assembly 65 is similar to most general-purpose adhesives.

Franklin International Assembly High Tack is a ready to use aliphatic resin emulsion adhesive. For over 55 years, it has set the standard for quality woodworking. It is very fast setting for short clamp times. It has high solvent-resistance and good sandability. Assembly High Tack can be used in general assembly and edge and face gluing applications for interior use. It can also be used in conventional cold press equipment.

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 EP-925 is a two-component, low foaming emulsion polymer isocyanate (EPI) adhesive recommended for applications requiring exceptional water, heat and solvent resistance. The product can be utilized with conventional cold press or hot press equipment and has been enhanced to provide superior performance with radio frequency press equipment. Advantage EP-925 allows for reduction in conditioning time before surfacing which improves productivity. It is also characterized by good spreader stability when compared with traditional EPI adhesives.

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.

Franklin International Doorbond 200 is a fast setting, one-component polyvinyl acetate emulsion adhesive. It is designed for hot or cold press manufacture of flush and architectural doors. Doorbond 200 produces a water and heat resistant bond on various rail, stile and skin substrates including: wood, hardboard, MDF, particleboard and high pressure laminates. This product has been formulated to prevent bleed-through under normal operating conditions.
