What is bio-based hot melt adhesive? What are the advantages of bio-based hot melt adhesives?
Hot melt adhesives are especially well-suited for applications that demand streamlined processing, high-efficiency manufacturing, and reliable product protection. Their use spans a broad range of industries—commonly found in the production of hygiene products, furniture, and packaging, as well as in medical, electronics, and automotive applications.
Bio-based hot melt adhesive technology supports sustainability goals and the principles of a circular economy. This innovation not only responds to growing industry demand for eco-friendly adhesives but also helps reduce reliance on petroleum-based raw materials while lowering the carbon footprint of manufacturing processes.
Henkel’s Technomelt Supra ECO adhesive series contains bio-based raw materials at levels exceeding 80%. These bio-based hot melt adhesives help reduce CO2 emissions during production and incorporate carbon captured from renewable sources.
