You would be surprised how many equipment, and application issues could be resolved simply by adjusting the running temperature of your adhesive. A question that our lab gets very often from our customers and prospects is in regards to the best temperature to run our cake glues to ensure that their operation runs smoothly and their equipment stays clean.

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.

Sample Board and Cases

LD Davis has manufactured a wide variety of adhesives for over 85 years, including animal glue, protein adhesives, hide glue and liquid glue. Our adhesives are used in a large variety of industries and for many different applications. One common use of L.D. Davis adhesives is in the manufacturing of sample boards and cases, for example, for displays in retail stores and at trade shows for certain companies.

 Gelatin is a very important part of the manufacturing process at LD Davis. Since we started manufacturing protein glue (hide glue), gelatin has been a major raw material aiding in our glue manufacturing process.
