We get this question very often! Many of our customers and prospects wonder the easiest way to accurately measure solids in adhesive. A refractometer is a simple, and inexpensive way to accurately measure solids. This will ensure that you are getting the most out of your adhesive. Our Technical Service Manager, Greg Brown, explains how to use and the benefits of a refractometer in this short video.

Paper packaging makes up a large portion of the packaging we use today.  

Like some manufacturers in the United States we sell a high quality, high performance product which in turn does not make us the cheapest out there. Our protein glues (animal glues) are sold per pound so some customers look at that per pound price and say, in a cost cutting effort, let’s try the low cost/low quality brand instead.  What they soon find out is they didn't save money and all glues are not formulated the same.

LD Davis has been manufacturing hide glues since the 1920s. Our eco-friendly hide glue spans a wide range of technical gelatin.
