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

You would be surprised how many equipment, and application issues could be resolved simply by adjusting the running temperature of your adhesive. A question that our lab gets very often from our customers and prospects is in regards to the best temperature to run our cake glues to ensure that their operation runs smoothly and their equipment stays clean.

We get this question very often! Many of our customers and prospects wonder the easiest way to accurately measure solids in adhesive. A refractometer is a simple, and inexpensive way to accurately measure solids. This will ensure that you are getting the most out of your adhesive. Our Technical Service Manager, Greg Brown, explains how to use and the benefits of a refractometer in this short video.

According to the Institute for Supply Management, U.S. manufacturing growth improved in May for the first time in six months.
