L.D. Davis Industries is the larger of only two major animal glue manufacturers in the United States, today, and they have been producing animal glue for over eight decades.
Animal Glue can be defined as gelatin that is extracted from the hides of cattle and pigs and then graded for different uses in food, pharmacy and the adhesive industry. The technical grades are used to produce hide glue or cake glue. The term ‘cake glue’ refers to the finished adhesive in a cake form that must be melted by the end user prior to application. Animal glue also contains Epsom salts, natural corn sugars, water, and glycerin. Animal glue is most commonly applied using a wheel, roller, or pad. It is commonly found in match heads and other abrasives, such as sandpaper, paper crimping, laminating, woodworking, or bookbinding.
