Overview
A water-soluble, tasteless colloidal form of processed collagen obtained from bones, hooves or skins and used as a dispersing agent, sizing medium, adhesive, or coating for photographic films, and stabilizer for foodstuffs and pharmaceutical preparations. Is high in molecular weight after processing, as opposed to more vigorously processed collagen which results in animal glue.
