Summertime is here. While many of us are looking forward to the warm weather, that extra heat and humidity can mean manufacturing challenges for some. You’ve probably noticed the consistency of your glue change during the warmer months if you’re using protein glue.

One major benefit of cake glues (animal glues, hide glues, protein glues) is their open time can be adjusted. This is ideal when you need to accommodate a variety of equipment run speeds, and substrate sizes. 

What variables affect the open time of cake glue? Check out our latest infographic to find out.

Gelatin is the key raw material used in our protein cake glues (animal glue) and we receive this raw material from several different suppliers.   To ensure all gelatin meets our quality control standards, there are a number of tests performed when we receive it in our plant.  This assures the cake glues provided to our customers are consistent in quality. 

After getting very useful feedback from our protein glue customers, we have made improvements to our cake glue scoring (cutting).
