Do you use animals when making glue?
No, Elmer's does not use animals or animal parts to make glue. Our products are made from synthetic materials and are not derived from processing horses, cows or any other animals.

There are all kinds of "glues" if you're using that word in a general sense. They're made from various things too... the oldest ones were made from animal parts (including eggs, hooves, etc., but there are also ones that are starches, plant-based, totally synthetic, resins, silicone, or other things.
"White glues" are a suspension of polyvinyl acetate (PVA) resin in water....or a "vinyl" acrylic.
....they include permanent "all-purpose" white glues like Elmer's Glue-All, Sobo, etc.
......also tacky glues (thickened white glues), yellow "wood glue" (a faster setting, more waterproof refined white glue), jewel-holding glues (GemTac, Jewel-It) ... "sizing" glues, etc.
...(don't know if the non-permanent white glues like Elmer's Washable School Glue have anything else in them, or if they're just missing something that's in the permanent version)

At some point glue (the white knid) was made out of hooves from animals. I am not sure if it still is. And some glues are made from other things.

I've heard that it is made of skin from horses and goats.
