Adhesives
Over the past few decades gelatin-based adhesives have slowly been replaced by a variety of synthetics. Recently, however, the nature of biodegradability...
of gelatin adhesives is being realized. Today, gelatin is the adhesive of choice in telephone book binding and corrugated cardboard sealing.
Printing Processes
For over a century, gelatin compositions have been used in printers‘ rollers and plate wiping rollers for multi-color presses and offset litho hats are sized with gelatin...
Sizing helps preserve the shape of the hat while imparting resistance to water and dirt. An emerging technology involves the use of gelatin to size quartz fibers for space-age fabrics.
Paper Manufacture
Protein Glue is used for surface sizing and for coating papers. Either used alone or with other adhesive materials, the gelatin coating creates a smooth surface...
by filling up the small surface imperfections thereby ensuring improved printing reproduction. Examples include posters, playing cards, wallpaper, and glossy magazine pages.
Matches
Protein Glue is used almost universally as the binder for the complex mixture of chemicals used to form the head of a match...
The surface activity properties of gelatin are important since the foam characteristics of the match head influence the performance of the match on ignition.
Coated Abrasives
Protein Glue is used as the binder between the paper substrate and the abrasive particles of sandpaper. During manufacture the paper...
backing is first coated with a concentrated gelatin solution and then dusted with abrasive grit of the required particle size. Abrasive wheels, disks and belts are similarly prepared. Oven drying and a cross-linking treatment complete the process.
Coating and Sizing
Technical gelatins are used in the warp sizing of rayon and acetate yarns. The gelatin size adds strength to the warp and resistance to abrasion...
so that breakage of the warp is minimized. Protein Glue is particularly well suited for this application because of its excellent solubility and fi lm strength. It is applied in aqueous solution along with penetrating oils, plasticizers and anti foam agents before weaving and later removed during fi nishing by washing with warm water. Permanent crinkle in crepe paper is the result of gelatin sizing.
