Starbond is a premium brand of cyanoacrylate (CA) adhesives, commonly known as super glue, which has established a significant reputation within the woodworking, hobbyist, and industrial sectors. The brand's formula has been manufactured in Japan for over 45 years, emphasizing high-purity industrial-grade quality and a specialized production process that includes monthly batch manufacturing to ensure maximum freshness and extended shelf life.

Founded in 1988, the company is a family-owned enterprise based in the United States. It was originally established by the father of the current CEO, Joseph Hyun. While the chemical formulation and primary production occur in Japan, the brand is managed, marketed, and distributed from its headquarters in Torrance, California. This dual-country operation allows Starbond to combine Japanese chemical engineering with American customer service and retail distribution, specifically targeting niches like woodturning, dental labs, and 3D prototyping.
