Fevicol is an Indian brand of adhesives owned by the company Pidilite Industries.[3]
History
First introduced in India in 1959, Fevicol was launched as a user-friendly alternative to traditional collagen and fat-based adhesives, known locally as "saresh", which required melting before application. The brand initially focused on providing adhesives for industrial applications and has since expanded its presence to 54 countries, with a significant market footprint in India.
Product descriptions
Fevicol is marketed as a white adhesive, described in company literature as a poly-synthetic resin. It is manufactured through the synthesis of formaldehyde and urea.[4]
The product line includes various formulations designed for specific qualities such as bonding strength, impact resistance, curing time, sag resistance, shrinkage, versatility, fire resistance, shock and vibration resistance, and non-staining properties.
