Water-Based Adhesives and Food Packaging

In the July/August 2011 issue of Folding Carton Industry magazine, an article regarding safety standards for food packaging caught my eye.

LD Davis sells three kinds of adhesives that are used in packaging. We manufacture liquid water-based adhesives, and hide glue (animal glue), and we distribute hot melt adhesives.

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. Think of what's left over in a sheet of gelatin after your vitamin capsule has been manufactured. Capsules are made using hard gelatin filled with medicine, usually in small beads, and soft gelatin like a Vitamin E capsule.

Dextrin Glue Galore!

Dextrin glue is liquid glue often used in the packaging industry. Think white glue in a bottle if you need a visual - although most dextrin glues are a translucent, amber color.
