Fevicol is one of those brand names that has become a word in itself. Most people just ask for “Fevicol” and expect one tube to do everything. But walk up to the counter at Khandelwal Trading Co. in Panchkula and you will see the truth: there is not one Fevicol, there is a whole family of them, each built for a different material and a different condition.
Pick the wrong type and you get bubbles under your laminate, a joint that lets go in the monsoon, or a bond that peels the first time it meets heat. This guide decodes the main types of Fevicol we stock, so a carpenter, an interior contractor, or a homeowner can walk in knowing exactly which one to ask for. If you want the wider picture of adhesives and sealants first, start with our pillar guide on choosing the right bond, then come back here for the Fevicol detail.
How to Read the Fevicol Range
Once you understand the logic behind the range, the choice becomes simple. Fevicol adhesives split broadly into two working types.
- White synthetic-resin (water-based) adhesives. These are your wood glues: applied to porous surfaces like wood, plywood, and MDF, clamped, and left to cure into a strong, rigid bond. Fevicol SH, Marine, and Heatx sit here.
- Synthetic-rubber (contact) adhesives. These grab on contact and stay slightly flexible, and are used for non-porous or awkward materials like rubber, foam, leather, and PVC. Fevibond and the SR grades sit here.
After that, the choice comes down to one question: what will the joint face? Dry interior conditions, moisture, or heat. Answer that, and the right grade almost picks itself.
Fevicol SH: The Everyday Workhorse
This is the original white synthetic-resin adhesive, and for most interior woodwork it is all you need. Fevicol SH is made for bonding where at least one surface is porous, which covers the vast majority of carpentry: laminate onto plywood or MDF, wood-to-wood joints, and general interior lamination.
Use it for: interior furniture, cabinets, laminate work, and everyday wood joinery in dry conditions.
Skip it for: anything that stays damp or gets hot. In a bathroom, kitchen splash zone, or an area that catches strong sun, SH will eventually give way. That is what the next two grades are for.
Fevicol Marine: When Moisture Is in Play
Fevicol Marine is the waterproof member of the wood-adhesive family. It is formulated to hold up where regular SH would soften, which makes it the right call for damp and wet-prone areas, and for bonding marine-grade plywood.
Use it for: kitchen and bathroom cabinetry, wash-area woodwork, and any interior joinery in Panchkula and the Tricity that has to survive humidity and the monsoon. Because it resists water and even boiling water for a period, it is the sensible choice anywhere moisture is a genuine risk.
If you are unsure whether a job counts as “damp enough” to need Marine, err on the side of Marine. The cost difference is small next to the cost of redoing a failed panel.
Fevicol Heatx: When Heat Is the Enemy
Fevicol Heatx is a heat-resistant adhesive built for surfaces that get hot. It is a synthetic-rubber-based grade that resists heat up to around 170 degrees Celsius, and it grabs quickly with little springback, which makes it good for vertical and curved lamination too.
Use it for: kitchen countertops and the areas around burners, dining tops, and any laminate surface exposed to heat or strong, direct sunlight. In these spots an ordinary wood glue softens and lets the laminate lift at the edges, while Heatx holds.
This is a grade many people do not know exists until a laminate edge starts peeling near the stove. If you are laminating anywhere near heat, ask for Heatx from the start.
Fevicol Hi-Per: Fast, High-Grab, Bubble-Free Lamination
Hi-Per is aimed at professionals who want speed and a clean finish. Its big advantage is an anti-bubble formula with high initial grab, which means faster, more uniform contact between plywood and laminate and a much lower chance of trapped air showing up as bubbles, especially on large sheets and vertical laminations.
Use it for: production carpentry and large or vertical lamination work where speed and a flawless surface matter. For a working carpenter turning out volume, the faster grab pays back in labour time.
Fevicol 505: Foam, Upholstery, Carpets and Ducting
Fevicol 505 (the SR 505 grade) is a different animal from the wood glues above. It is a multipurpose synthetic-rubber adhesive, and its strength is bonding soft and awkward materials that resin glues struggle with.
Use it for: foam sheets, upholstery, rexine and foam seat work, carpets, and insulation on AC ducting. If your job involves foam, fabric, or flooring underlay rather than solid wood, 505 is usually the grade you want.
The Contact-Adhesive Grades (Fevibond and SR 998)
When you are bonding rubber, leather, or large laminate sheets and need an instant grab the moment the two surfaces meet, you move into contact adhesives such as Fevibond and Fevicol SR 998. These are applied to both surfaces, left to go tacky, then pressed together for an immediate hold. Fevicol Probond works on similar lines for pasting PVC laminates with high grab.
Because the technique makes or breaks the result, we cover these in a dedicated guide. See our walkthrough on contact adhesives for laminate, rubber and leather.
Quick Pick: Which Fevicol for Which Job
- Interior furniture and general lamination: Fevicol SH.
- Damp or wet areas, marine plywood: Fevicol Marine.
- Countertops and surfaces near heat: Fevicol Heatx.
- Fast, high-volume, bubble-free lamination: Fevicol Hi-Per.
- Foam, upholstery, carpets, ducting: Fevicol 505.
- Rubber, leather, big laminate sheets, PVC: a contact adhesive such as Fevibond, SR 998 or Probond.

Application Tips That Apply to Every Grade
Whichever Fevicol you pick, the same handful of habits decide whether the bond lasts.
- Clean and dry first. Dust, grease, and damp are the top reasons a bond fails. Both surfaces must be clean and dry before you start.
- Spread evenly. Use a spreader or spatula for an even, full-coverage layer. Patchy glue means patchy strength.
- Respect the open time. For contact grades, let the film go tacky before you join. For wood glues, join while wet and clamp.
- Apply pressure and hold it. Clamp or weight the joint and keep it under pressure for the recommended time. This step is not optional for wood adhesives.
- Let it cure fully. A joint that feels set is not always fully cured. Give it the full curing time before you load or finish it.
For furniture joints in particular, technique matters as much as the glue. See our guide to strong furniture joints and wood-glue technique.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using SH where you needed Marine. Interior wood glue in a damp area is the classic monsoon failure. Match the grade to the moisture.
- Forgetting heat. A countertop near a burner needs Heatx, not standard SH.
- Wrong glue for foam or rubber. A wood resin will not hold foam or rubber well. Use 505 or a contact grade instead.
- Skipping pressure. No clamping means a weak joint, whatever grade you used.
- Rushing the cure. Loading a joint before it fully cures is the quiet reason many bonds fail early.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the main types of Fevicol?
The commonly used types are Fevicol SH for interior woodwork, Fevicol Marine for damp and waterproof applications, Fevicol Heatx for heat-exposed surfaces, Fevicol Hi-Per for fast bubble-free lamination, Fevicol 505 for foam and upholstery, and contact grades like Fevibond and SR 998 for rubber, leather, and large laminate sheets.
Which Fevicol is waterproof?
Fevicol Marine is the waterproof grade in the wood-adhesive family. It is designed for damp areas and marine plywood, and resists water and even boiling water for a period, so it is the right choice for kitchens, bathrooms, and humid conditions.
What is the difference between Fevicol SH and Fevicol Marine?
Fevicol SH is for interior woodwork in dry conditions. Fevicol Marine is water resistant and made for areas that get damp or wet. If moisture is a genuine risk, choose Marine.
Which Fevicol should I use near a kitchen stove?
Use Fevicol Heatx. It resists heat up to around 170 degrees Celsius, so laminate near a burner or on a hot countertop stays bonded where an ordinary wood glue would soften and peel.
