Davis manufactures a wide variety of adhesive to fit your needs. We have so many different kinds of glue to offer we figured we'd use our blog as a space to put a focus on one kind of adhesive at a time. After all, our goal is to educate and inform our readers, not to overwhelm with a laundry list of our products. Today's post puts a product spotlight on [hide glue](https://www.lddavis.com/products/gelatin-adhesives/).

LD Davis sells three kinds of adhesives that are used in packaging. We manufacture [liquid water-based](https://www.lddavis.com/products/liquid-glue/) adhesives, and [hide glue](https://www.lddavis.com/products/gelatin-adhesives/) (animal glue), and we distribute [hot melt](https://www.lddavis.com/products/hot-melt-glue/) adhesives.  [Read More \>](https://blog.lddavis.com/water-based-adhesives-and-food-packaging) [![LD Davis Blog](https://blog.lddavis.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/scrapgelatin031-300x225.jpg)](https://blog.lddavis.com/holy-gelatin-get-it) [Posted by LD Davis Team on Aug 15, 2011, 6:00:42 AM](https://blog.lddavis.com/author/ld-davis-team) ## [Holy Gelatin! (Get It?)](https://blog.lddavis.com/holy-gelatin-get-it) ### So...What is this Stuff? Well, it's definitely not a fishing net, or a basketball net, and I'm pretty sure it's not a hair net. What you see in the above photo is pharmaceutical waste. L.D. Davis Industries recycles pharmaceutical waste gelatin to make our adhesive.

Capsules are made using hard gelatin filled with medicine, usually in small beads, and soft gelatin like a Vitamin E capsule.
