INDUSTRIAL

Gelatin has a wide variety of industrial applications from making artificial leather to the ability to prevent concrete from cracking.

APPLICATIONS

VINYL POLYMER

Protective colloid in gelatin is utilized for monomer polymerization.

PREVENTION OF SNOW FROM MELTING

Foamed gelatin solution can be used as an insulating material to keep snow from melting.
Snow made in this way can be utilized for the preservation of vegetables as a natural coolant.

GELATIN FILM

An edible film which has a high gas-barrier and natural decomposition can be made by drying gelatin film.

PREVENTION OF CONCRETE FROM CRACKING

Water retention obtained by mixing gelatin into raw concrete can prevent the surface of the concrete from cracking.

IMPROVEMENT OF COATING QUALITY

A mat-tone film coated by paint containing fine mesh gelatin will help protect the painted surface from scratches.

ARTIFICIAL LEATHER

Adding fine gelatin powder into synthetic resins, followed by a hot water process, enables one to produce an artificial leather.

FOOD MODEL

Modified gelatins can be used for food displays at restaurants.
