In the world of industrial adhesives, two of the most commonly used options for paper-based packaging are starch and dextrin glues. While both are eco-friendly, biodegradable, and offer excellent bonding properties, they differ significantly in their composition, uses, and performance characteristics. In this blog, we’ll explore what makes starch and dextrin glues unique, their applications, and when one might be preferred over the other.

Gelatin glue, also known as protein glue, is a staple in many industries, including woodworking, bookbinding, and packaging. It’s prized for its strong bonding capabilities, non-toxic nature, and eco-friendly composition.
