Franklin Adhesives & Polymers’ Multibond family of products

Multibond Family

Franklin Adhesives & Polymers’ Multibond family of products features high-performance cross-linking PVA adhesives that are ideal for radio frequency gluing. Typical applications include radio frequency edge and face gluing of panels, squares and components used in furniture manufacturing, as well as hot press veneering and curved plywood. Additional uses include edge and face gluing, hot press veneering, hot press lamination, plywood, exterior grade finger joint stock and manufacture of door and window parts.

Specific attributes of the Multibond family include:

  • Multi-purpose adhesives designed for exterior end-use through radio frequency, cold press, hot press and finger joint equipment
  • Excellent choice for interior end-use radio frequency gluing of dimension stock such as panels or squares used for furniture manufacture
  • Durability properties that withstand domestic and international transport conditions (exposure to high temperature and humidity)
  • Specialized products prevent bleed-through on thin or porous veneers
  • Water-resistant products that meet or exceed the following industry standards: DIN EN 204 D3 and D4, FIRA E-1, ANSI/HPVA Type I & II, ASTM 5572 and 5751 Dry and Wet Use
  • Products that pass CARB and international formaldehyde-emission standards
