Applications of Technical Grade Gelatin
Adhesives & Glues
One of the primary uses of technical gelatin is in water based glues and adhesives. It provides excellent tackiness, flexibility, and cohesive strength ideal for:
- Bookbinding glue
- Corrugated box adhesives
- Label pasting
- Envelope adhesives
- Packaging applications
Matchstick Manufacturing
Technical gelatin is widely used in matchstick production as a binding agent that holds together the match head chemicals. Its heat stability and nontoxicity make it ideal for:
- Safety matches
- Strike-anywhere matches
Abrasives & Sandpaper
The abrasive industry uses gelatin as a binder for grit particles in sandpaper and grinding wheels. It enhances the adhesion of abrasive grains and maintains product shape under pressure.
Textile Sizing
In the textile industry, gelatin functions as a sizing agent that improves yarn strength and reduces breakage during weaving. It also acts as a stiffener and lubricant in textile finishing.
Photographic Films
Technical gelatin plays a vital role in photographic emulsions, especially in traditional analog film. It acts as a colloidal stabilizer and film former to hold light-sensitive silver halide crystals.
Paper Coating & Finishing
It serves as a film-forming and smoothing agent in coated papers, cardboard, and cartons. It improves printability, gloss, and ink retention.
Fertilizers and Seed Coating
Gelatin can be used to encapsulate or coat fertilizers and seeds, acting as a biodegradable, water-retentive layer that improves moisture retention and seed viability.
Ceramics and Casting Molds
Used as a binder in ceramic slurries, gelatin ensures proper viscosity and shape retention in mold casting applications.
