Winter is here, and with it come frigid temperatures that can impact more than just your heating bill—it can also affect your glue. Whether you’re working with liquid water-based adhesives or gelatin glue, cold weather can significantly alter their performance and, in turn, your production efficiency.

Let’s explore how cold weather affects these types of adhesive, why proper handling is essential, and how to mitigate production issues during winter. For additional tips on how to apply glue and transport it during the colder months, check out Glue Application and Storage Tips for Winter.

In the manufacturing world, using the right adhesive can make all the difference in production efficiency and product quality. At LD Davis, we specialize in helping manufacturers identify and test the ideal glue for their specific needs, ensuring that their processes run smoothly and efficiently.

In a significant leap forward, our adhesive company has embraced cutting-edge technology to enhance our production line efficiency. In May 2023, we integrated state-of-the-art robotics from Linear Solutions into our gelatin glue packaging process, marking the first step towards automating our packing line.

Expenses when it comes to shipping are a consideration for any business. Many of the companies we supply adhesive to often work with us to get the most effective freight costs for their adhesive material needs. We often get many questions about optimizing freight shipping costs and the shelf-life of adhesive because why buy more if you don’t need it, right?
