Technical Gelatin / Hide glue


Product Description

Technical Gelatin is a protein derived from the hydrolysis of collagen which is a protein constituent of animal hides. The raw materials used for the production are derived from animals found fit for human consumption.
After the liming process the product is neutralized. During extraction the temperature is 120 C or more during 4 to 5 hours. The extract is concentrated and dried. The product is packed in new bags and stored on a dry place before shipment.

Prior to about the early 1900's, hide glue was the prime choice of most woodworkers....often the only readily available source. It is not fast setting and is usually used hot.
