One major benefit of cake glues (animal glues, hide glues, protein glues) is their open time can be adjusted. This is ideal when you need to accommodate a variety of equipment run speeds, and substrate sizes.

##  How to Master Cake Glue Open Time for Any Production Speed 

 

Many factors play a role in increasing or decreasing cake glue open times.

Each glue is formulated by our [technical lab team](https://www.lddavis.com/lab-capabilities/) to satisfy a variety of open times.  Depending on the gluing equipment, these formulas can have an open time ranging from 10 seconds, to as long as 4 minutes (approximately). This makes cake glues extremely versatile in a variety of industries, including: [rigid setup box](https://blog.lddavis.com/rigid-box-glue), case making ([bookbinding](https://blog.lddavis.com/what-is-protein-glue)), [woodworking](https://blog.lddavis.com/hide-glue-strength-for-woodworking-applications), [abrasives](https://blog.lddavis.com/glue-used-manufacture-abrasives), [laminating](https://blog.lddavis.com/laminating-with-ld-davis-adhesive)and more.
