As a glue manufacturer for the packaging and printing manufacturers, our team at LD Davis has the opportunity to work alongside top leaders and suppliers in the industry. 

Glue and paper often go hand-in-hand. In most cases, you won't come across one without the other.

After working on countless technical projects with our customers that involved glue to paper bonding analysis, we figured it was about time we take a closer look at one of the largest and best known paper manufacturers in the United States: Neenah Paper. 

Can glue really help to make your production line more profitable? Yes, of course. And we're not just saying that because we're glue fanatics!

At LD Davis, we make it a priority to help our customers run their business as efficiently, and profitably, as possible. To assist with that, our Technical team offers free glue audits to our customers. We recommend these audits on a regular basis (semi-annually or annually) to ensure that you are running your glue and gluing equipment at its fullest potential.

When I was brainstorming blog topics to start off the new year, and new decade, at the very top of my list was an interview with our company President, Tripp Davis. 

If you work or partner with us, chances are you have talked to or met Tripp at some point. He has been third generation Owner and President of LD Davis for nearly two decades, and is an active member of a number of industry organizations. He is not only our "fearless leader", but he is a key leader in the industry. 

Thankfully Tripp was on board with me picking his brain on many topics including: our company strengths, challenges, and where LD Davis will headed over the next ten years. 

Mechanical, chemical and suction bonds, OH MY! 

These terms are used often in the adhesive industry (or by those who use adhesives) but many times the exact definition of each is unclear. Today we're going to go over each so you have a better understand all three.
