Jelly Glue

What is Jelly Glue?

Jelly glue is a ready to use blend of technical gelatine, water and other natural materials. It is biodegradable, recyclable and sustainable.

Jelly glues have a very high initial tack making them idea for the the production of hard cover books, presentation boxes, lever arch files/folders, games boards and puzzles. They are easy to use, easy to clean and break down easily in the paper recycling process.
As Europe’s premier manufacturer of jelly glues Gluecom has pioneered the use of recycled raw materials. Thanks to this work we recycle 500,000Kgs of raw materials EVERY YEAR that would previously have been sent to landfill.

Is jelly glue an eco-friendly adhesive?

Jelly glue is created from an organic source, protein glue or gelatine glue. Jelly adhesives are derived from a natural polymer and is entirely biodegradable. Using biodegradable natural glue decreases environmental damage when a paper-based product can be recycled, reducing landfills. Due to the biological origins of jelly glue the product is fully sustainable. For brands and producers looking for green credentials during a process, jelly glues benefit the manufacturing process with biodegradability, sustainability and a cost-effective solution.
