Gelatin is an extremely important part of our protein glues. Since the 1970s, we have replaced the primary ingredient, extracted collagen from hides of bovine and porcine, with recycled pharmaceutical and nutritional gelatin in the form of soft gel netting.

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.
