Application of Gelatin in Industry
Published: 03/12/2024

Adhesive industry


Wood processing: In furniture manufacturing, gelatin can be used as an adhesive to splice wood. Due to its high strength, elasticity and toughness, it can make the wood firmly bonded, and the furniture structure is stable and not easy to crack

Paper processing: It can be used for paper bonding, such as book binding, carton manufacturing, etc., which can improve the bonding strength of paper and make books and cartons more durable

Crafts production: In the handicraft industry, gelatin is used to bond various materials, such as ceramics, glass, plastics, etc., which can meet the bonding needs between different materials and produce exquisite handicrafts

Textile industry


Yarn processing: In textile production, gelatin can form a film on the yarn bundle, increase the toughness, strength, smoothness and elasticity of the fiber, prevent yarn breakage, and improve the quality and durability of textiles

Fabric finishing: As a fabric finishing agent, gelatin can improve the feel of the fabric, make the fabric softer and smoother, and at the same time increase the wear resistance and wrinkle resistance of the fabric.

Printing industry


Ink manufacturing: Gelatin can be used as a thickener and stabilizer for ink, adjusting the viscosity and fluidity of the ink, so that the ink can be better transferred and adhered during the printing process, and improving the printing quality

Printing plate: In the platemaking process, gelatin can be used to make photosensitive plates, and combined with dichromate to make negative photosensitive corrosion-resistant films, which are used in printed circuit boards, lithography and other fields

Match industry


Mainly using the foaming property of the colloid to form pores, combined with oxidants, igniters and fillers, it can be ignited instantly, thereby ensuring the smooth ignition of the match

Metallurgical industry


In the electrolysis process, adding gelatin to the electrolyte can help generate smooth and dense anode precipitation, reduce production losses, and improve electrolysis efficiency and product quality

Papermaking industry


Paper sizing: Gelatin can be used as a paper sizing agent to improve the water resistance and strength of paper, making it less likely to bleed ink during writing and printing, and at the same time improve the gloss and flexibility of paper.

Paper coating: used for the surface coating of paper, it can increase the smoothness and glossiness of paper, improve the printing adaptability and decorativeness of paper

Feed industry


As a feed additive, gelatin can provide the protein needed by animals, while also improving the taste and texture of feed, and increasing the animal's feed intake and digestibility

Petroleum industry


Gelatin can be used as a drilling fluid additive in oil extraction, playing a role in thickening, reducing filtration loss, stabilizing the well wall, and improving drilling efficiency and safety.
