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. [citation needed]

Product descriptions
Summarize
Perspective
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 attributes such as bonding strength, impact resistance, curing time, sag resistance, shrinkage, versatility, fire resistance, shock and vibration resistance, and non-staining properties.[5]
Variants like "Fevicol SH" are synthetic resin adhesives primarily used in wood working and applications where at least one surface is porous. It is commonly used for bonding wood, plywood, laminate, veneers, MDF, cork,[6] and in the manufacturing of sporting goods and bookbinding. SH typically achieves handling strength within 8 to 10 hours, with full curing in 24 hours.[citation needed] The "Fevicol MR" variant is meant for home and office use, and in art and crafts.
Fevicol Design Ideas, initiated in 1991 as the Fevicol Furniture Book, serves as a platform to showcase furniture design concepts. The series comprises 31 volumes and has expanded to an online resource where users can access design ideas and connect with contractors and interior designers.[7][when?]

In popular culture

Prominent catchphrases from Fevicol TV advertisements include "Dum Laga Kar haisya, zor laga kar haisya" and "Fevicol ka mazboot jodh hai, tootega nahi".[10]
