Just parts of animals have been used to make glue. Animal collagen has been used for thousands of years to make glue. Hides from mammals, fish have been commonly used. Horses (often said to be "sent to the glue factory), cattle and pigs have been used. These days, most glues are synthetic.

How does animal glue set?

Animal glue sets through a process called cooling and evaporation. When heated, the collagen proteins in animal hide dissolve to form a viscous adhesive. As the glue cools, the proteins reconfigure and bond together, creating a solid structure. Additionally, as moisture evaporates from the glue, it further hardens, leading to a strong bond between surfaces.


What do they do with horses at the glue factory?

An animal glue is an adhesive that is created by prolonged boiling of animal connective tissue. These protein colloid glues are formed through hydrolysis of the collagen from skins, bones, tendons, and other tissues, similar to gelatin. The word "collagen" itself derives from Greek kolla, glue. These proteins form a molecular bond with the glued object. Stereotypically, the animal in question is a horse, and horses that are euthanized are often said to have been sent to the "glue factory." In fact, animal glue is produced from a variety of different animal species besides horses.


What animals were used for glue?

About 200-300 years ago many animals with hooves and tendons were used to render down to make glue. Fish bones were also used until quite recently. I remember being taught to use it in school woodwork class. -Now a small amount of animal glue is still made by specialist companies, mainly for antique restoration.
