Results for tag: "Animal Glue"

Animal glue is a type of adhesive derived from animal sources, such as collagen from hides, bones, and tendons. It is a traditional adhesive used in many industries, including woodworking, bookbinding, and papermaking. Animal glue is made by boiling animal parts in water, which causes the collagen to dissolve and form a gel. This gel is then cooled and dried to form a solid adhesive. Animal glue is used in a variety of applications, including furniture, paper, and leather goods. It is also used in the production of adhesives and sealants, as it provides a strong bond and is resistant to water and heat. Animal glue is also used in the production of paper and cardboard, as it provides a strong bond between the paper fibers. Animal glue is a cost-effective adhesive, and is often used in place of more expensive synthetic adhesives. It is also easy to use and can be applied with a brush or roller. Some companies in the animal glue market include Hide Glue Industries, Inc., Glue Masters, and Glue-It. Show Less Read more
