Labels on bottles are more than just a marketing tool; they’re crucial for conveying key product information, from ingredients to usage instructions. However, applying these labels presents its own set of challenges, particularly when it comes to choosing the right adhesive. A good adhesive must provide strong, lasting hold, be resistant to moisture and temperature changes, and ideally, be sustainable. In today’s fast-paced industry, selecting the right adhesive is not just important—it’s critical for ensuring both the quality and efficiency of the process. Henkel's vegan, casein-free and tailor-made artificial polymer for water-based glass labeling perfectly fits into the entire process chain of the beverage industry: With low free monomers, excellent machinability and easy wash-off AQUENCE XP is not comparable with any existing synthetic or hybrid labeling adhesive.
Our AQUENCE XP water-based adhesive portfolio manufactured in Europe is vegan by formulation, containing no raw materials of animal origin. Our casein-free formulations achieve significant reductions in CO2 and water footprint compared to conventional casein grades while maintaining superior efficiency.
AQUENCE XP is designed to meet the requirements posed by different bottles and labels, especially if the bottles pass through the life cycle several times from filling and delivery to enable reuse. The adhesive perfectly fits into the entire process chain of the beverage industry.
By eliminating casein from the adhesive, costs are lowered, and both the carbon and water footprints can be reduced. Supply security is ensured, and the adhesive becomes less sensitive to price fluctuations, further enhancing its cost-efficiency and sustainability. Removing casein also reduces odor during application and minimizes the formation of residues or deposits, resulting in a clean and efficient overall process. Additionally, the formulation aligns with evolving health and environmental standards, being free from borax and zinc.
