LD Davis Gelatin Products as Ballistic Gel

LD Davis has been manufacturing protein gelatin-based products for many decades. These gelatin products are used in many different industries, such as packaging, book binding, and even used in birdseed molds as a base for seeds, or suet.

Military agencies and medical testing labs also use our gelatin products as ballistic gel, to simulate tissue when testing firearms, other weapons, and hypodermic/implant testing. Research has shown that our gelatin product, when used as ballistic gel, reacts comparably to tissue during firearms testing.

 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.

Not only is usage of hard and soft gelatin scrap in adhesive manufacturing an interesting concept, it is quite beneficial to the environment in a number of ways.
