Is Strong and Fast Glue Kosher?

The Ingredient Breakdown

When investigating the kosher status of any adhesive or food product, we look for the 'Big Three' non-kosher culprits: animal derivatives, alcohol, and specific enzymes. In the case of Strong and Fast Glue, the label is surprisingly clean. The primary component listed is water (indicated by 'eau' and 'aque'), which makes up the bulk of the 98% natural ingredients. Water is inherently kosher and poses no issues.

The remaining 2% of the formula likely consists of the binding agents that give the glue its strength. While the specific chemical names aren't listed, the absence of terms like 'casein' (a milk protein often used in wood glues) or 'shellac' (derived from insects) is a positive sign. In my experience analyzing adhesives, when a product claims '98% natural,' it usually relies on plant-based polymers or synthetic resins that do not require kosher certification, provided no animal fats are used in the emulsification process. There are no flags found in this data set.

Nutritional Value

As an adhesive product, Strong and Fast Glue is not intended for consumption and therefore possesses no nutritional value in terms of calories, carbohydrates, or fats. It does not fit into any diet limits because it is not a food item. However, for the sake of safety analysis, the high water content suggests a low toxicity profile compared to solvent-heavy industrial glues. It is strictly for external use.
