Increasing raw material costs for adhesive over the past few years has been a challenge for animal glue manufacturers as well as distributors of products such as hot melt adhesives. 

So Here’s the Bad News….

We do not manufacture this new “Gecko” glue that claims to be able to support the weight of a full-grown man as he walks up and down walls.  We manufacture eco-adhesives, such as animal glue, water-based adhesives, and liquid glues.  However, it is such a cool development in the adhesive industry that we felt the need to spread the word and find out what you think about it.

LD Davis has been manufacturing quality animal glues for over nine decades, but animal glue itself has been around for centuries longer.  In fact, up until the mid-20th century, most glue in use was animal glue, dextrin glue, or other glues composed of natural polymers such as starch adhesives.  Products such as hot melt adhesives and resin adhesives are much newer in comparison to animal glue and other natural adhesives; they have only been used widely for about 60 years or so.
