Businesses in the glues and gelatine category manufacture, distribute or supply adhesive products and gelatine for commercial, industrial, craft and household use. Glues may include water-based, solvent-based, hot-melt and specialist formulations, selected for materials such as paper, wood, textiles, leather, plastics, ceramics or metal. Suppliers may offer products in different strengths, formats and pack sizes, along with applicators and related bonding materials. Gelatine is a processed protein, commonly made from animal collagen, supplied as powder, granules, sheets or prepared solutions. It is used in food production for setting, thickening or stabilising products, and in some pharmaceutical, photographic and technical applications. Businesses may provide food-grade or industrial grades, bulk supplies and guidance on storage, preparation and suitability for particular processes. The range available varies according to the supplier and intended use.
