Product Lines

Three adhesive technologies. One trusted partner.

Every application has different requirements — bond strength, cure time, temperature range, regulatory needs. We manufacture across all three core adhesive chemistries so we can specify what's right, not just what's available.

Water-based adhesives
Category 01

Water-Based Adhesives

Low-VOC dextrin, PVA, and latex formulations for packaging, labeling, paper converting, and FDA-direct-food-contact applications.

Explore water-based
Solvent-based adhesives
Category 02

Solvent-Based Adhesives

Neoprene and synthetic-elastomer systems for the strongest bonds on the toughest substrates — metal, foam, plastics, and cloth.

Explore solvent-based
Hot-melt adhesives
Category 03

Hot-Melt Adhesives

EVA, polyolefin, and PSA hot-melts for high-speed packaging, case sealing, bookbinding, product assembly, and woodworking lines.

Why Spartan

Built to work like an extension of your team.

↻

Custom Formulation

Off-the-shelf rarely fits perfectly. Our chemists develop tailored adhesives matched to your substrate pairing, cure conditions, and regulatory needs.

⚙

Applications Engineering

Every inquiry routes to an applications engineer — not a sales rep reading from a script. Spec'ing the right adhesive starts with understanding your line.

✓

FDA & Regulatory Support

Direct-food-contact, low-VOC, USCG-compliant, and other regulated formulations are available across our product lines. We document what you need.

⚡

Fast Sampling

Most evaluation samples ship within a week of the engineering call. We'd rather you test on your own line than guess from a datasheet.

★

50+ Years In-Market

Privately held since 1974. Same manufacturing facility, same commitment to consistency — even when the spec gets harder.

⊕

Made in Crystal Lake, IL

Domestic manufacturing, domestic supply chain, and direct lab access. When something needs to change quickly, it does.

Industries Served

Adhesives and coatings running on world-class production lines across North America and worldwide.

From the world's largest packaging converters to specialty manufacturers building one-of-a-kind assemblies, Spartan Products are spec'd into thousands of different end uses. If your application involves adhesives or coatings, we've likely solved something similar.

How We Work

From first call to running production.

01

Discovery

A 20-minute call with an applications engineer. We learn about your substrates, line, environment, and regulatory needs.

02

Recommendation

We pull from our existing product lines or scope a custom formulation. You get a clear spec and a samples plan.

03

Sampling & Trial

Evaluation samples typically ship within a week. We support you through line trials and adjust as needed.

04

Production

Commercial supply from our Crystal Lake facility, with consistent batch quality and direct engineering support whenever you need it.

Let's Talk

Tell us about your application.

Most projects start with a short call. Our applications engineers will help you scope the right adhesive — and if nothing off-the-shelf fits, we'll formulate one.
