LD Davis has been manufacturing animal glue, also known as hide glue or protein glue for over nine decades in the United States.  

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. 

Happy Thanksgiving to all LD Davis customers, friends, and employees!

In the social media world, there has been an activity this November where Facebook users post one thing or person every day for that they are grateful.  We at LD Davis have a lot to be thankful for around this special holiday, and while we did not post “30 Days of Thanks” on our social media profiles, we figured it wouldn’t hurt to list them here.  Below is a compiled “30 Days of Thanks” list from everyone at LD Davis Industries; where we build life long bonds, manufacture quality animal glue, and provide excellent customer service to our animal glue, liquid glue and hot melt customers.

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.
