Franklin Adhesives has been the industry leader in bonding wood and wood products. They market Titebond®, Multibond® and Advantage® brand adhesives directly to the wood industry.

Franklin Adhesives produces 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 packaging market to ultra-removable formulations used in the office products industry.

Covinax 169-00 is a polyvinyl alcohol stabilized vinyl acrylic copolymer emulsion developed for a variety of permanent pressure sensitive applications requiring very aggressive tack. It exhibits outstanding adhesion to most synthetic films, including treated and untreated polyethylene and polypropylene, tyvek and cryovac. It performs well in low temperatures and is widely used in packaging applications both formulated and as a straight polymer. Covinax 169-00 can be formulated into a wash-away adhesive by the addition of a nonionic surfactant. The polyvinyl alcohol colloid allows easy cleanup and imparts excellent machining. It can be applied with a knife, rod, roller coater or extruded in beads for various packaging applications.

Covinax 258-00 is a surfactant stabilized acrylic copolymer developed for use as a freezer grade pressure sensitive adhesive. It has extremely low glass transition temperature allowing it to adhere to frozen surfaces and its aggressive tack permits application through thin layers of moisture or frost. Covinax 258-00 can also be blended with other polymers to impart low temperature properties to those polymers or to develop products which are all temperature grades.
