Protein Adhesive

Protein adhesives are a type of glue also referred to as animal glue or hide glue. They are also sometimes called “cake glue” due to its appearance in 9-10 lb “cakes” after production in a manufacturing facility. 

From its beginnings over nine decades ago, LD Davis Industries has manufactured quality animal hide glue for the book binding, packaging, and graphic arts industries. In 1980, LD Davis Industries purchased a company called Adhesive Products of Georgia, which enable the company to begin manufacturing liquid adhesives to add to our line of non-toxic, eco-friendly glues.

LD Davis Industries: The Book Binding Glue Standard

In the beginning, LD Davis Industries manufactured an adhesive product for the stenciling industry. However, as a smart and innovative company must, we adapted to the changing business climate when necessary and altered our product to serve the box making and book binding industries. Book binding glue became, and is to this day, one of LD Davis’ premier adhesive products.

Those of us at LD Davis are individuals of many talents! Sure, we can manufacture quality animal glue products, and make 3,000 on-site customer visits each year…but did you know we have a resident photographer on our staff?
