Natural resin Starch Casein Skin/bone glues Fish adhesives
On this basis it is said that the use of natural adhesives can be dated to year 4000 B.C. This shows the development that has taken place ever since the early spring of mankind. Later on, more complicated adhesives that need chemical preparation have been developed. This happened as early as during the reign of the Pharaohs. For example findings of glued wooden objects in the tomb of Tutankhamen prove that adhesives have been constantly developed.
However, the most important step forward in the history of adhesives was made in this century. Thanks to the development of synthetic resin we now have adhesives, which are very durable and can resist water, bacteria, and fungi.
Brøste has for years followed the development of adhesives closely. Our product range includes most of the additives needed to manufacture both natural and synthetic adhesives. Furthermore, our technical experts are always pleased to give technical advice on applications.
