Henkel has taken a major step in advancing sustainable packaging solutions with the introduction of its innovative low-emission hot melt adhesive – Technomelt Supra 130 Cool. This cutting-edge product is designed to make the transition to greener packaging seamless for manufacturers, offering an eco-friendly alternative without the need to alter existing production processes. By replacing legacy grades with this new low-emission adhesive, companies can achieve an immediate reduction in Scope 3 emissions – without costly machine adjustments, extensive material requalification, or production trials.
A substantial portion of a hot melt adhesive’s carbon footprint stems from the energy-intensive processing of raw materials. Henkel addresses this challenge by working closely with suppliers to substitute fossil-based resources with renewable alternatives and by integrating energy-efficient technologies throughout production. These efforts lead to a minimum 20% reduction in the carbon footprint of Technomelt Supra 130 Cool compared to conventional formulations. The result is a product that supports sustainable practices across the entire value chain while maintaining exceptional performance standards.
Technomelt Supra 130 Cool is engineered to meet the high expectations of modern packaging applications. Some of its technical advantages include:
- High adhesion and rapid setting times, ensuring reliable and efficient bonding
- Cleaner production processes with reduced maintenance requirements and less downtime
- Lower adhesive consumption compared to traditional EVA formulations
- Enhanced workplace safety for operators
- Exceptional thermal stability for consistent performance under varying conditions
- Low odour and suitability for direct food contact, expanding its versatility
These features make the adhesive ideal for a wide range of packaging solutions, including folding cartons, trays, and wrap-around packaging, allowing manufacturers to implement sustainable practices without compromising product quality or operational efficiency.
Henkel’s Sustainability Ambition 2030 emphasises climate action, circularity, and safety, with the goal of decarbonizing operations and delivering low-emission, circular solutions in collaboration with customers. The launch of Technomelt Supra 130 Cool exemplifies this commitment, providing an immediately deployable solution for companies striving to reduce their environmental impact while maintaining top-tier performance.
By combining environmental responsibility with technical excellence, Technomelt Supra 130 Cool positions Henkel as a leader in sustainable adhesive technologies. This innovation enables manufacturers to meet evolving environmental regulations, and growing market demands for greener packaging, all while maintaining efficiency and reliability in production. With this launch, Henkel underscores its dedication to fostering a more sustainable future for the packaging industry.
